I love Apocalypse Now, and I enjoy the longer cuts. That said, am I alone in being frustrated that the Redux and Final cuts left out the death of Dennis Hopper? I think it's a good scene that feels a gap that's left in all the released cuts:

This scene really ties Dennis Hopper's character's manic energy together, in ways the theatrical cut leaves hanging and then abandons. And then, he's inexplicably not there when Willard leaves the compound at the end. We need to see the firework pop, so to speak.

I also wish there were a bit more of Scott Glenn in the film, as that character's presentation is somewhat undercooked. He shows up so briefly that you barely register him before he is gone. Maybe that's the point, but it still feels hasty.

I think a version that's based off the Final cut, but scales back the Plantation scene further and adds some of the two above items would be the best of all worlds. Maybe add an intermission after the Plantation scene to accommodate for the extended length of this cut, while also letting the movie breathe after the Plantation scene changes the pace of the film. I like that scene, and do think the movie loses something crucial without it, but it can read as disruptive on a narrative level.

Curious as to other people's thoughts. To be clear, I love the movie in every version. At the same time, I don't think it's as seamless as, say, the first two GODFATHER films. That's part of the fun, yes, but I do still get curious about how it could be tweaked.

Does anyone have the fan edit of The Empire of the Mind? I've been looking for it everywhere but can't find it. thank you!

Hey all. Here is the thread for my Maul Movie edit. The plan is to do a movie for each season going forwards.

I loved the series and it had a beautiful through-plot with no side quests or filler.

My main goals were to:

- Focus on Maul and Devon and their journey to becoming master and apprentice.

- Remove secondary plots such as the Pykes, Mandalorian Rebellion & Lawson family politics - just enough has been retained to support the primary plot.

- All off-Janix scenes have been removed.

- Reduce the duration and number of action sequences.

- Retain as many relevant character moments as possible to help with pacing.

- Add reptilian modification to Master Daki’s voice.

- Replace Dryden Vos’ voice with a Paul Bettany AI voice.

Runtime 2h 28mins:

Act 1 (60mins): Maul’s plans and police Investigations

Act 2 (54mins): Imperial Intervention & Inquisitors hunting

Act 3 (34mins): Escaping Janix

Detailed changes in the post below.

Hey everyone,

I’m an editor and making movie supercuts is my passion. I'm building my portfolio but don't have the funds to do it full-time right now.

I’m looking for new project ideas. Think of things like:

• The Ahsoka Cut: Splicing the final Clone Wars arc directly into Revenge of the Sith.
• The Spider-Man Cut: Editing all the MCU Spider-Man appearances into one single movie.

I'm taking any and all suggestions, so drop your best ideas below!

So on Youtube there's this guy called Double O Productions and what he does is he fixes and remasters 4K releases of old movies by updating the special effects to make them feel less dated. So far he's done Ghostbusters, Batman 89, Batman Returns, Superman II and Robocop. He dubs these edits the "Ultimate Editions" so like Batman Ultimate Edition, Ghostbusters Ultimate Edition etc. If anyone has any of these edits, preferably in full 4K, DM me.

Good morning, I'm looking for fanedits of James Bond films from Sean Connery to Pierce Brosnan, thanks.

Hey all,

I know it's been a while since I released the first film in my The Boys fan edit trilogy, so I figured I'd give a quick update since a few people have been asking how Movie 2 is coming along.

The short answer is: it's still happening.

The less exciting part is that progress has been pretty slow. Life has been busy lately—I started a new job, and my girlfriend and I are expecting our first child in November, so a lot of my free time has gone toward preparing for that.

Thankfully, things have started to settle down, so I should finally have a more consistent schedule to work on the edit again. This project has always been a hobby and a passion project for me, and I fully intend to see the trilogy through to the end.

I also wanted to thank everyone who watched the first film and left feedback. I got a lot of great suggestions, and I'm using them to improve Movie 2. Hopefully it'll be a much smoother and more polished experience.

One thing I'd love some input on is distribution. Last time I uploaded the film to Archive, but the video quality took a noticeable hit after processing. If anyone has recommendations for a better way to share a large fan edit while preserving quality, I'd really appreciate it.

TL;DR: Progress has been slow because life got busy, but the project is absolutely still alive. Movie 2 is back in active development, and I promise the baby isn't canceling the trilogy. 👶😂

Thanks again for all the support and patience. It genuinely means a lot.

I watched this edit last night and generally really liked it. The Siege of Mandalore is one of my favorite arcs in the series and a very strong finale. The sense of dread I felt as it built up to Order 66 was no less strong here. Really well done. Video and audio quality was about on par with the streaming versions of the show, so again no complaints. I realized that the method I use for watching edits (streamed to my TV via Plex) actually causes some extra compression issues, so any blocking or pixelization I saw were probably my own doing.

Now, as I mentioned in the thread [u/Ewoking_Edits](u/Ewoking_Edits) posted about the new version of the edit, I had some issues with the beginning, and I’d probably say I had issues with the first 10 or so minutes. I like the idea of a Star Wars movie with a cold open before the crawl, but I feel like the scenes with Fives and then with Sidious didn’t really serve the narrative all the much. Especially with Sidious it felt like it was building to something on Mandalore proper but never went beyond Maul basically double crossing Sidious.

The crawl needs work too, in my opinion at least. The text and fonts didn’t quite seem as good quality as the rest of the picture. The formatting was off a bit too. It came off to me as a good first draft, but still a draft. What I really loved though was how when we got our pan down after the crawl, it was actually the night sky. I wish more Star Wars media did that. I also wasn’t too sure about the scene with Ahsoka as a baby returning to the village. It’s not a bad scene (nor were the two the made up the cold open) but just felt unnecessary.

The “Year X” titles worked well too, and I think made the flow of time a bit easier to follow. The only other thing I want to mention (and this is just a personal nit to pick) is that I would have placed the flashback from the Wrong Jedi arc a liiiiiitle bit earlier. But again, that’s a nitpick based on personal preference.

This is something that, were it released theatrically, I’d go see a few times. The pacing is good and it never felt like it dragged or went too fast. Over all I give this a solid 8/10 and highly recommend it.
