Hello There,
Just wanted to post this edit I just finished up. I took a break from my Return of the Living Dead edits and did a edit of the new Godzilla movie. A friend of mine wanted me to take a stab at it and I gladly accepted. He wanted a better paced movie with mostly action but keeping the plot intact. I honestly didn't like this movie too much so trying to make it better is always something fun to do. I approached this edit with cuts already in my head before I started, dialogue and scenes that weren't satisfying were cut. Here is the cut/changes list:
Newer Intro
Deleted the lame intro from the original movie
Opening scene is helicopter arriving at mine
Removed "Philippines 1999" (cause after 15 years the two scientist look exactly the same and appear to wear the same clothes.
Cut Ford as a young kid at home with parents
Cut out entire power plant scene
Cut out Ford in school
No more 15 years later (this edit is all present time)
Ford does not see is family
New Title Credits "Godzilla Path of Destruction"
Cuts into Japan where ford picks up his dad at police station
Cut Serizawa being in the control center when power goes off
Cut Fords family watching earthquake in japan on tv
Cut Ford during the briefing of Godzilla by Serizawa
Instead Ford is heading to Hawaii
Cut Fords kid seeing Godzilla on tv
Again they don't exist as his family
Cut Ford calling his wife before he gets on the train
Now he just says "I need to get on that train"
Cut Fords wife putting their kid on the bus
Instead it cuts to Oakland and Ford is seeking medical attention
I did keep the bus scene on the bridge intact (his son is now just a random child on a school bus)
Kept a few scenes of Fords wife seeing destruction of buildings (in this edit she is just some random person that gets a few shots of seeing Godzilla and jet crashes)
Completely removed Ford in stadium (so no kid or wife)
After Godzilla awakens it cuts to the stadium and the jumbo screen
Movie ends after Godzilla roars
Goes to simple custom credits
Added the song "Godzilla" by blue oyster cult after original score ends. (sorry I had to)
That pretty much wraps it up. My friend came up with the name Path of Destruction so I kept it in there. Hope you guys enjoy it and hopefully soon I'll have the Return of the Living Dead parts 1 and 2 done for ya.
Thanks again,
Mike
