The biggest problem is that:

there is no real way to fit in Tarantino's ending, and many of his transitional devices between acts have been removed.

I'd love to collaborate with someone on an edit of this, though.

I say keep the Scott ending...and dual audio streams with the original score and the Tarantino music would be awesome.

If I had the extra time I would already be figuring out the software to be able to do this one. I can't think of another fan edit that I'd rather see...and I couldn't believe that the 2 disc special edition didn't include this cut when it first came out.

Also, this bugged me even the first time I watched Ep. One, when Watto throws the 'chance cube', I was always bothered by the fact that Qui-Gon interferred with it by using the force. Shouldn't fate be deciding and not using a Jedi 'trick' or power?

I got the impression that Qui-Gon knew Watto was using a 'fixed' cube...and he used to force to prevent him from cheating.

the DAMN NFO Viewer is the way to go.

Originally posted by: suntechWell, Yoshimi has a theory... that the movie could have been much better without the character Jenny (Cameron Diaz). What a good theory it is!

my dad thought that her subplot ruined the movie as well. I'm interested in seeing this...I'll let you know when I do.

I watched Pulp Fiction chronological, and this seems about the same, just scenes in a different order. True Romace was great the way it was (Christopher Walken is so cool). Sometimes it is a pity, I cannot watch the same movie twice and it could be new for the second time. I doubt I will realize a difference I can like.

it's kinda like watching a mystery for the second time after you know the ending...it will never be the same. I think Tarantino's non-linear script would have made a better movie because of the things that keep you guessing in the beginning, but now I know what they are and the experience won't be that much better overall. But then I think about people that haven't ever seen the original...and I'd really like an edited copy to share with them.

I’d really like to see a version of True Romance that follows the Tarantino script. I think the Tony Scott ending works though.

wiki says that there is a version already circulating the internet, but I checked the internet and I didn’t find one.

and if you wanted to get really crazy it might be cool to put the Tarantino-picked songs back in…but then maybe that version might need the original ending. a 2 DVD set would work.

here’s a basic explanation of the differences [copied from wiki]:

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Other than the ending (Clarence was shot dead during the climactic Mexican Standoff in the script) and the ordering of the scenes, Scott’s film uses Tarantino’s original script. Originally, the film was written to begin with the same “I’d fuck Elvis” scene, then the opening credits as the release. But the first scene in Tarantino’s script was the scene where the drug-dealer Drexel steals the cocaine. After that, the next scene was Clarence and Alabama showing up at Clarence’s father home, from which point the scene order is the same up to when Clarence and Alabama meet Dick Ritchie, which ends Act I. Dick asks how they met and we see the movie theater scenes, marriage, and killing of Drexel and mistaken stealing of the cocaine. Act III begins with the scene where Dick sees how much cocaine Clarence brought with him and begins to freak out about it, after which the movie plays straight to the end.

Tarantino, in the commentary on the unrated director’s cut DVD, mentions how this structure to the three acts results in the characters in the movie knowing everything in Act I while the audience doesn’t know anything, the audience catches up in Act II, and the audience knows more than the characters in Act III.
