FAN EDIT REQUEST THREAD - Post your dream Fan Edits Here!

I'd like an edit (I might even do this myself) for the korean movie A Bittersweet Life, that tells the story about the girl in flashbacks.
A Bittersweet Life basicly begins as a sad gangster story, und turns after a fourth I think into a revenge movie. When I thought about the ending the next day (under the shower, being still sleepy ), which at last revealled the real motivation of the main character, I thought an interesting way of telling the story would be, to tell the "backstory" in flashbacks, so the viewer does not know what the revenge stuff is all about in the beginning.
Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the movie, it's great movie as it is. But I think it would be a very interesting way to tell the story. As an alternative, not as a "correction".

Okay, I've contacted two persons who have a recording of this. Hopefully, one of them will donate a copy of this.

Also, there were some screenshots in the thread. Top are the screenshots from VOX (16:9), below an old foolscreen shot:

Please mind, that the video will be PAL, have a TV station logo and german audio only!

EDIT
Forgot to mention that this recording does not have the end credits. German tv stations cut them out

I don't think so. But I don't think I'm able to translate the concept of "Spannungsbogen" into english, my skills are somewhat flawed

I've just realized, that this forum might be the wrong place to ask for cut-points of "Das Boot", it was propably never shown as TV series overseas... Anyways, I've asked in some german boards if they have info on this.
Das Boot will propably be the last project I will handle, because this will be to one I have the most work on. I'll try to maintain as much as can of the Superbit DVD, because of the superior picture- and soundquality. Unfortunately, my Mini-Series DVD is in PAL, so I have to DownSpeed to NTSC, but PAL has a higher resolution anyway, so there won't be much loss in quality. I'm not sure if I can remove the blue line defect, which is visible on the left side of the picture in the Mini-Series version.

On TV.com, there is a listing that says Traffic consists of three episodes. I've seen AVI files that are three part, maybe those can help me.

Yep, I know those AVI (I'll propably use them for the credits).
So basicly, epguides is wrong?
BSG on EPGuides

If I'm really lucky, there is a chapter stop at this point, so I don't have to recode some of Episode 2.

Okay, this may not be exactly a fan cut, but merely a restoration of the “This way it meant to be” version. Maybe some of you know the Mini-Series politics of Universal. They cut it all together in one big chunk and sell it on DVDs.
I find this very stupid, as it gets very hard to watch a series in one big chunk, for example “Das Boot” which has a running time around 5 hours. Originally, there have been 6 episodes á 50 minutes!

So, I will try to restore the original episodes from the DVDs. ATM, the following TV series will be edited by me:

  • Das Boot (obviously )
  • Battlestar Galactica Mini-Series
  • Traffic Mini-Series

I wouldn’t bother to post this here normaly, but there are some problems by doing this:
1. I do not know where the original episodes ended
2. I do not have the opening and ending credits

So, if anyone knows, at which timestamp the original episodes ended, please post them (together with the information if you referring to PAL or NTSC) or maybe a scene description if you don’t have exact time stamps aviable. Until now, I have found out this far:

Das Boot
Originally consisted of 6 episodes á 50 minutes. Sadly, in recent airings it was cut together into 3 episodes, so this was no help. Maybe someone of you owns the LD or VHS set and can tell me?

Battlestar Galactica Mini-Series
Was originally aired as 4 (not two as in later airings!) episodes. I have found out, where the 2 episode version has it’s cut point, but that’s not what I’m looking for, maybe someone of you remembers the original airing from 2003, or has taped it?

Traffic Mini-Series
Well, I do not know very much about the original airing, because I first saw it on DVD. However, I had the feeling it was intended to be 4-5 episodes. Any information would be much appreciated.

As to the opening and ending credits, if any of you has them, maybe you could send me a pm or email?

Last point:

I don’t know if I can release this versions. ATM I not really sure if it’s possible to restore it anyways

I’ve read the rules carefully, so I hope I’m not violating them…

Will research Womble. Would be nice to not have to re-encode everything. Also very time consuming. And trust me, when I get to Saga of a Starworld pilot... no cropping will take place, you have my word.


Remember, that Baltar is killed in the theatrical version, but not in the pilot version!

Fistful Of Dollars:
Adding back in the American TV intro as an alternate start would be very slick - is it on the DVD as an extra? I don't remember seeing it.



it is on the R2 DVD from Uk but since it was not directed by Leone, I don't think it is a good idea to include it in a longer cut, and it is fullscreen.


Correct, this scene was added by the cable station, and it was produced by the cable station. It is foolscreen, and of course it's not Clint in the scene, but a bad stand in. Also, the clothes do not match. And IMHO, it does not fit into the movie in any way.

I wasn't expecting either, I'm not that nostalgic of the show and I wouldn't consider Collateral an action movie yet that's my favorite of Mann's films. What i do expect of Michael Mann however is a solid, interesting plot and well developed characters. Both of these items i found to be almost totally nonexistant in Miami Vice. Of course, that is just me, and i can understand why some might like it, so whatever.


It were just suggestions, the movie is not released yet in germany. I read in a lot of boards that people are expecting something the movie can never deliver, therefore I thought you might have had the wrong expectations of the movie.
Or maybe the movie just really is that bad

And yes, Manhunter is really cool. But IMHO it could need some tweaking, because I think some of the scenes, that are missing in the directors cut (but were present in the theatrical cut) really made sense and could enhance the DC.

Eerrrr, are we talking about the same non-anamorphic disc? Sure, it has far better colours, but the MGM disc definetly is way more sharp. I've actually thought about doing a colour correction to the MGM ultimate edition and exchange the criterion video.

But that's the point. He does not change, while everything (and everybody) around him changes. If you notice, at the end of the movie, his family has changed. I think you cut out a very important statement of the movie.
