Fanedit Film Name: LA Confidential Recut by Neglify
Brief Synopsis: LA Confidential with less focus on Bud White and Lynn Bracken and an ending more in line with the overall tone of the film.
Original Film Name: LA Confidential
Studio Name: Warner Bros.
Genre: Crime
Fanedit Type: TrueFan Edit
Original Running Time: 138 minutes
Original Release Date: September 1997
Fanedit Running Time: 126 minutes
Fanedit Release Date: November 2011
Amount of time cut: 12 minutes
Intention:
I absolutely love LA Confidential. But, usually when I re-watch it, I find myself skipping past most of the Bud White and Lynn Bracken scenes. I wanted to create an edit that would cut out the parts of their storyline that kind of drag the movie. As well, I felt like the ending was a little too upbeat.
Edit Details:
I trimmed almost every scene Bud and Lynn have together and cut the ending.
Cut-List:
Special Notes:
Thanks to Gatos and BlueYoda for previewing my workprint and giving great feedback.
Technical Info: Sony Vegas to edit, DVD Architect to create DVD.
Release Information: Dual Layer DVD & MP4
Special Features:
Isolated Music-Only Audio Track (DVD only)
Drinking Game subtitle track (DVD and MP4)

Edit Details:
I trimmed almost every scene Bud and Lynn have together and cut the ending.
Cut-List:
- Added FanEdit.org video logo. Added âRecut by Neglifyâ to the title.
- Trimmed the beginning and ending of Bud going to Lynnâs house for the first time.
- Cut out Bud and Lynnâs first sex scene.
- Trimmed their scene in bed together. Cut out reference to Bisbee, Arizona and cut it before Bud starts talking about the Night Owl case.
- Re-ordered the scene with Exley taking Inez out of the hospital. It used to come right before the above scene but now itâs right after.
- Cut out scene of Exley and Lynn at the police station. As well, trimmed two lines of dialogue between Exley and Bud right before this scene.
- Cut the epilogue. Now, after Exley shoots Dudley in the back and holds up his badge the film fades to black. The viewer is left to believe that Bud died when Dudley shot him in the head.
- Removed the upbeat music during the end credits and replaced it with Jerry Goldsmithâs main theme. (As well I added an extra music track in the credits.)
- Cut out the âBadge of Honorâ bits from the end credits as they didnât fit with this edit.
