Additional Comment:
Most of the romantic stuff between Crockett and Isabella have been minimized. You can still see something developing between them, but we don't see them sharing their life stories over mojitos in Cuba. The romantic storyline between Tubbs and Trudy has also been minimized. Whether they're seeing each other or not is no longer clear (is it part of their cover or is it real?). When Trudy gets hurt, Tubbs stays with her at the hospital, so that implies there's something more between them. Gina, Trudy, Switek, and Zito are still around but don't have many lines. A lot of the "talky" scenes have been trimmed to keep the pace up.

The new intro uses the old theme song from the TV show using footage from the go-fast boat race.

There actually isn't a whole lot of action in this movie to begin with, but at 92 minutes it's a much leaner, more intense ride.

Baah i hated the original and loved the series on tv, but heres some questions:


A lot of the "talky" scenes have been trimmed to keep the pace up.....

But are there any storyline left at all then?
and what obout the Continuity?

in other words, does it still make sense or is it just a long chase with action in it now?
 
the story in my edit should still make sense even if you have never seen the original film. but it will have a different feel because some of the character interactions that were in the original were cut out. whether those cuts improved on the original or not is for you to decide.
 
Just watched the .mov ... a very good edit, but it seems to be cropped down from 2.35 to 16:9, resulting in some awkward shots. :)

Gekko did this with the Watchmen I believe, cutting off some title cards and credits. I have no idea why he did this, it really makes no sense.
 
gekko does not like black bars obviously. He did this many times. And he does not take much care if the focus is wrong caused by that.
 
Right, I was going to watch that Watchmen, until I read about the cropping! Didn't realize it was the same editor.
 
Anyone got any links for this still they could PM to me? Would love to see it as dont' mind parts of the original just needed an edit. thanks
