Hi all,this is about fanedits that Couldn't happen-- even if you wanted them to (there's another thread for edits that "Shouldn't" happen). With the state of technology advancing the way it is, more things may be possible in the future, but for most of us, some edits just can't happen because of how fundamentally flawed the film itself is..
BTW for those of you up for a challenge, go for any of these.. Dare I say i dare you?
-I was watching Mad Max 3 (Beyond Thunderdome) the other day and was disappointed all over again-- like if only there was a way to fix this movie by removing those kids--it'd be so much darker and in tone with Mad Max 1 and 2-- but I don't see any way to. It just can't be edited into a darker film Minus kids
-the new Transformers films (Dark of Moon, Extinction -18% on RT)-- I'm not sure how one would even go about attempting to fix the later entries in this series. The acting is so bad, some characters so over the top, and the action (read shaky cam) annoyingly distracting, that you have nothing to work with to produce a better edit. That said there have been attempts made to fix these in the past and I'll check them out, but when the source is so horrendous it would take a miracle to make them even watchable. The benefit of tinkering with fundamentally good movies like Star Wars of Blade Runner is that you could never completely run off the tracks--if the source was great, your edit will be at least good. Not an advantage you have with Transformers, it takes a lot of courage to attempt a fix--respect!
What are some other movies which just can't be fixed?
