Yes, yes, yes! I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time! I love the original Crow film, it being my favorite movie. City of Angels i’ve looked past but never hated and I honestly didn’t know just how much of the film had been cut. I’ve always hated Harvey Winestein and now knowing all this makes me want to judo flip him into a river. Happy 200th episode!
I think I already mentioned about Crow films that never got made in your City of Angels video game videos. I recently came across this page which goes into some detail about them, if you are interested:
81 differences, including
* 36 scenes with an alternative course of events
* 10 re-cuts
* 22 scenes where the Theatrical Version is longer
* 2 mirrored scenes
Difference in time: 19:14 min
The new cut is as close to Barker’s original vision as is possible. (some of the footage was destroyed over the years) This tells a more complete story and makes much more sense.
The original story sounded way better than what I saw on TV on FX a long time ago. Blade Runner and numerous other movies have been reedited to their original glory after years of syndication and VHS theatrical versions so there’s hope. I also hope Blair Witch 2 gets redone too, I saw the theatrical on a premium movie channel, because I always love a good psychological mystery. Also, screw Harvey Weinstein. I’ve hated how he did/has tried to mess with this, Snowpiercer and many other films for the worse.

Congrats, sir, on number 200! I enjoy watching and hope you continue on strong!

Nightbreed was cut heavily? Wow i liked what I’m guessing was the cut version so I wonder how good the uncut version is.

I caught the uncut version on netflix yesterday. It was alot more cohesive and didn’t have that silly ending where the doc got resurrected.
Really?
