The Salute of the Jugger: Extended Version (a.k.a The Blood of Heroes) starring Rutger Hauer (1989) (Released)
Time

Hello all, first post. Apologies for the necro on a dead thread.

 

I'm working on an edit of this film but I'm after some more information.

I've Edited together the short and long versions into an extended version I call "The Grail of the Jugger".

The Shorter version also has scenes not used or rearranged in the longer version, plus my source of the shorter version had better video.

The Longer version I've sourced has bad video quality but a more complete soundtrack. So I've used it to source the sound but replaced what I could with video from the short version.

I looked into purchasing the German Laserdisc (from the Action box vol 1 boxset) but had to cancel when the seller found out the postage to where I am in Australia was triple what he quoted me. This however is the only version I've found listed as Widescreen. If someone knows more about the German laserdisc I'd love an opinion of how good this would be as a video source. The effort in importing it and getting it professionally ripped needs to be worth it before I consider dealing with that language barrier again.

In the meantime my efforts are going into replacing the score on my extended cut. Although the existing score is really excellent I have something else in mind for my project.
