Jumanji Next Level Cliff Hanger 5 Part Serial (Released)
Time

Well we all need some fun in these times and after some time working from home and watching Jumanji The Next Level I thought the movie would work as a cliff hanger serial, so I went to work on that idea.

I was always a fan of the cliff hanger serial so I have tried to represent that here with a new opening to the episodes with clips from Jumanji, Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle and Jumanji The Next Level and with a new Sony logo to resemble the Republic logo beginning from B/W to colour with original Republic music intro.

Then we have new title cards for each episode showing the title of the episode followed by character cards giving a recap on the previous episode.

The music on all these is from the official sound track of the Next Level and the original movie for example I have mixed 3 scores to create the opening credits then a score from the Next Level for the title/recap cards.

The episodes are edited across 5 episodes with the beginning of the movie having some edits for pace and time before the first cliff hanger scene, I wanted to cut this down some more but it would spoil the story so were the other episodes run roughly just over the 22 minute mark this 1st episode is 30mins.

Each episode ends on a cliff hanger with music build up to the title card for the next episode followed by new short end credits as per the cliff hangers had also showing the title for the next chapter.

Each new episode has a brief edited down section of the previous cliff hanger as a recap.

Way to many edits done and music edits placed in to list but overall a good bit of fun and a new way to enjoy the movie.

Why you may ask the 2nd movie first solely because it was fresh in my mind, I hopefully will do the first movie as well but will need to re,watch if it will play the same way this movie did to create it.

Lets have some fun whilst we are at home.

The A-Team Broadcast Restoration (Released)
Time

Good to know, I bought it second hand off e bay, didn’t know they did a second pressing other than the one with audio commentary tracks but there a bit to pricey for me and I believe the commentary tracks are again on split 2 parters?
Would be good to listen to though.
Guess my take at least restores the intro.

Baobab Archiver you may want to check Spleen for my latest upload of the restored Range Rider feature length special restored in HD as originally broadcast including restored intro in HD

Thanks for the heads up. Just so you know, later pressings of the Blu-ray had the two partners presented as movie length. You could also send away the 2 parter discs and they’d send the corrected discs in the post. Still no pre-credits sequence on this episode though.
You may find that there were scenes cut in the 2 parter too, as they often did that to bring the individual episodes down to a certain length.
I’m downloading now and will try to seed for a bit.

Incidentally, I haven’t yet received that DVD I won. It should’ve arrived a few days ago, so I’ve had to chase up with the seller. Hopefully it hasn’t got lost in the post somewhere 😦

On a side note the vhs is via playback if its the UK version which is uncut, I was tempted to bid on a first run playback DVD that came with a A team magazine before the main collection season box sets came out in the hope this had the uncut music, however the seller wouldn’t check if the music was there. The bid went to £9 not that much but as I couldn’t confirm I let the bid go. The DVD states not for resale and available with magazine only and has playback labelled on it.

I recorded the pilot from VHS think I pointed you in that direction. I had no issues as I recorded from the vhs through a HD PVR2 gaming Edition direct to my laptop.
When I reformatted my laptop think I lost the recording it was me that uploaded the teasers and scene to spleen.
PVR are good at recording anything off air including protected content if you use a HD splitter into the PVR it was the same for me with the tape.
Afraid I dont have the tape any longer.

The Mandalorian : a Radical Redux Fan Edit <strong>Ideas</strong> thread

WitchDR said:

lorang said:

Well just finished my take on the recent Mandalorian TV series, to condense the 8 part show into a standalone movie that runs 2hrs 38mins so I’ve roughly cut 2hrs 34mins from the total run time.

That mainly consisted of filler episodes 4,5and 6 but I had to make use of snippets from some of these to create filler sequences to maintain the flow of the episodes such as the introduction of Cara Dune character who was introduced in episode 4 but wasn’t central to the plot until episode 7.

Now I have created 100’s of cuts here way too many to list including isolating the sound track elements so I have 6 isolated scores to enable me to have either special effects removed or back ground music to enable me to blend some scenes together or play around with characters talking then using the official soundtrack score and placing music back in for dramatic effect.

I also had to use separate blaster or back ground special effect sounds such as steam and levers and so on to fill blank sounds that had been removed so had to create these from scratch.

Now the run time of 2hrs 38 could have been reduced to near 2hrs but I do like episode 2 and the Jawa’s episode so left this in for the most part, just a personal choice but any fan editors out there may want to remove this section to reduce the length down.

Episode 1 has a few trims, episode 2 has trims and wipes added, episode 3 had quite a few trims, wipes and isolated scenes for sound and redubbed and new music added and some extra snips from 5 & 6, episode 4 heavy cuts to remove all the story from the episode and scenes relevant to that story with just Cara Dune introduction added and ended were she says she was here first and Mando says this planet is taken, I then use alternate takes from the other episodes of him leaving the planet with new soundtrack added and sound elements added into the background.

We then pick up in episode 7 removing 5&6, minor trims here to several scenes that dragged the pace down, and episode 8 had to have numerous scenes cut, music rescored, dubbed and scenes rearranged as well as some new wipes added.

The show runs along quite nice now as a standalone

Damn I’d love to check out your edit. Been waiting for someone to attempt an edit since chapter 8 came out. Too bad that site is locked to new sign ups.

Sure some one might share if needed, V2 just uploaded

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Extended Cut (Released)
Time

Well after my take on the extended cut of the Hateful 8 available on the organ, I decided to get the web download of Tarantino’s new Once Upon a Time in Hollywood plus the separate special features/extra’s that are available to buy and try and duplicate a form of Roadshow/Extended Cut.

This is not a straight forward duplicate of the standard theatrical cut, as in the standard cut is 2hrs 41mins and this version is 3hrs 7mins around 26mins longer

How did I achieve this fan edit, well I inserted all the available deleted scenes back into the movie as well as inserting a Overture, an Intermission and 2 of the 60’s made tv commercials that Tarantino made but didn’t make the final cut.

The run of the movie is an overture followed by a Red Apple advertisement before the movie kicks in, the overture title card I created and tried to make it look basic and bright for the setting of the Hollywood Hills movie.

I inserted music from Death Proof in the title card, Death Proof I hear you say but yes this is the music by Keith Mansfield, Funky Fanfare that fit’s the late 60’s groove of the movie.

I added some film grain here and some reel change blip followed by the advertisement, this then has a feature presentation logo that is aged, the 1 from Kill Bill fitted this very nice.

We then roll into the movie with an added Cinerama title card added.

Our first deleted scene is an extended play on an episode of Bounty Law played in when being discussed between Rick Dalton and Marvin Schwarz in the restaurant.

This is quickly followed by an extended version of Rick singing Green door at Hullabuloo, I had to insert Marvin’s voice over into the extend scene as this was not present as in the theatrical version.

We continue until we insert the next deleted scene of the Stacey Brothers on the cowboy set.

This is followed by a new scene of Charlie paying house calls whilst Cliff is on the roof.

To insert an intermission break half way through the movie I had to rearrange a few scenes so the cowboy set section is split but the Sharon Tate Movie Theatre visit plays together.

The split of the cowboy set section is done by inserting Tarantino saying action/cut etc in the background to keep focus this is a movie in a movie and ends with Cliff Booth driving on the Motorway rocking out to Los Bravos “Bring a little Lovin” I extended this by redoing all the sound in the section, background noise, cars, wind the music everything so the music would keep playing into the tile card of the Intermission and play the full song.

The intermission was extended a little longer by a radio channel change sound effect followed by an instrumental version of Treat Her Right and not the singing version that plays in the movie so it offered a slight difference.

After the intermission we have a new commercial from the deleted scenes, followed by a cinema reel countdown before continuation on the cowboy set again with Tarantino yelling action added in to make up splitting the scene, new scene new take.

We then have another deleted scene with Rick Dalton and the director Sam Wanamaker talking and giving Rick inspiration, this is mentioned a little later in the theatrical version.

The film then continues but again I had to split and rearrange a few scenes as the insertion of the deleted scene above didn’t fit unless I changed split the visit to the farm with Cliff and Pussy.

After this change the film runs through to the end.

The edit is finished and will be on everyone favourite organ shortly.

Hateful 8 Roadshow Cut (Released)
Time

ChainsawAsh said:

So it’s the Netflix extended cut with the original film structure (chapters and all) and an overture & intermission?

I’m interested.

Indeed, structured to represent the closest we will get to the Roadshow version but as the Netflix version has more footage than the roadshow version this was my take on a new extended version but all the chapters and cutaways representing the theatrical version but with added overture and intermission to break up the 3hrs 13mins run time

The Predator The No Dam Dogs Edition V2 (Released)
Time

guys this was released as a V1 on another site a private tracker just think of your spleen.

However I removed this after a few days due to some members starting an argument over a plot story revolving around the young boy on the movie that had no relevance to this fan edit.

I completed V2 with a few more trims here and there removing the silly invisible ball but due to the above incident I didn’t upload it.

I have no issues sharing this if someone messages me how to do this without it costing me to set some form of shared drive up if it’s free more than happy to do this.

RoboCop: TV Edit HD Restoration (Released)
Time

Thank you very much for the link, watched today had a giggle at the thoughts of the ITV version that I remember.

Have to offer some feedback the editor did a great job of the sound mix however the mix of alternative footage through me out of the movie, some of the quality of the alternate footage was quite poor and didn’t mix well for a HD restoration I understand you may be limited trying to copy the TV version but perhaps create your own take on the TV version with your own edits in HD this may work better, after all the TV version is infamous for the alternate sound dubbing not necessarily the footage.
Reducing the violence via edits in HD could be an easy option and then adding the alternate sound dubs for the bad language could be the way forward.

Info Wanted: 'Night Hawks' - Sylvester Stallone Alternate TV Version...
Time

I have noticed that a German retailer is releasing a Blu Ray of Sylvester Stallone’s Movie Night Hawks on Blu Ray come March

https://www.amazon.de/Nachtfalken-Mediabook-Blu-ray-Sylvester-Stallone/dp/B07LDFDC1G/ref=pd_sbs_74_2/260-8426697-8477551?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07LDFDC1G&pd_rd_r=a6695ed4-0e1b-11e9-b2e4-3f90368f41c0&pd_rd_w=mtrcB&pd_rd_wg=DLpxW&pf_rd_p=823c2db5-0a4d-474e-99ed-5858cc6a4d7b&pf_rd_r=CSZ4V9MB72FKVY35XWH8&psc=1&refRID=CSZ4V9MB72FKVY35XWH8

It states is a Blu Ray and 2 DVD edition containing an alternate TV version?

I’ve never heard of this having an alternate TV version, yes it was heavily cut in the UK on its first few TV airings but has been uncut last several years

The US Blu Ray was lacking on decent extras and this hasn’t been released on UK Blu Ray as yet so would be very interested if this alternate TV version has additional footage as we all know this was butched by Universal on its original cinema release but is wide known for having lots of additional material shot that was cut out.

If anyone has any info would be very keen to know.

The Predator The No Dam Dogs Edition V2 (Released)
Time

I have just finished my re tweaked V2 of The Predator V2, this differs from the initial version hosted on everyone’s personal organ, I removed that due to arguments from members of an off topic subject matter which distracted from the fan edit.

The purpose of this fan edit is to foremost remove every aspect of those Dam Predator Dogs.

The movie runs at a lean 87 mins and removes or tightens 100’s of areas of the movie with small and big edits.

To start with I isolated the score to 6 streams so i could remove some of the over used areas of the original Predator music cues.

I then went to work with the following.

The predator crash landing stream lined
The hostage opening and bad lines trimmed, tightened
The predator first encounter trimmed, tightened, Predator tech/ball removed V2
Helicopter search tightened
Mckenna posting items removed all aspects of invisibility and the predator tech/ball removed V2
Boy walking home trimmed
Mckenna introduced to the loonies trimmed
Casey introduction to Stargazer Head Quarters trimmed removed silly jokes
Introduction to the Predator trimmed removed one liner from original movie
Predator escape trimmed, tightened
Loonies on the bus all bad jokes trimmed, tightened
The chase reorganised and trimmed
New Predator coming to earth, new subtitles added V2
The predator attacking soldiers cut
Casey in Hotel trimmed
McKenna and his wife with loonies, cut, trimmed and re organised V2
The new Predator with his dogs trimmed
Search for his son heavilly reorganised, cut and scenes added V2 see link for sample

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_UAygoUIEM

This area is used with areas from Aliens vs Predator Requiem but all dogs removed
McKenna, Casey and Nebraska interrogation reorganised, trimmed and cut to remove The Predator dogs
The Spaceship compound trimmed, tightened, cut and reorganised
McKenna giving his son invisibility ball cut V2
Compound joining forces, trimmed and cut to remove Predator dog
Explosion trimmed to remove Predator dog
Fire fight in forest trimmed when they get killed they just die not silly expanded deaths
Spaceship fall trimmed
Final fight trimmed with Predator all areas of invisibility removed
End of the movie redone to remove what ever the hell that Predator tech thing was, this is redone leaving a lot more to the imagination without seeing what was in the casket.

If I can figure out to share this for free with anyone more than happy to try.
