what kind of fanedit : TF
tagline: "You can't polish a turd." Nope, but I can make it smell a little less foul.
original film name: Godzilla
new film name : 'Godzilla : Zilla'
film studio name : TriStar Pictures, Centropolis
edit crew name : white43
Date Original Film Was Released : 1998
Date Edit Was Released : 2009
Original Runtime : 2hrs 10 min
New Runtime : 1hr 52 mins
Amount of time Cut/Added : 18 Mins
Cuts removed/added/extended :
Removed:
'Godzilla' credit. (It's not Godzilla - although they think it is later)
Knives do not fall in 'comic' fashion next to chef.
Nick does not sing in the van (but he had to when he arrived).
We don't see any pictures of Audrey while Nick works.
Removal of screwing up Nick's name.
Old Man does not say 'Gojira'.
Old man does not say 'Gojira' again.
No introduction to Audrey.
Nick's boss does not chat him up.
Audrey is not 'too damn nice'. She can be tough.
Audrey doesn't go gooey eyed at Nick on TV - so much.
Audrey's boss doesn't not notice Zilla walking past while on annoying mobile phone.
Animal only looks like he crapped his pants once.
No comedy from the Mayor in the helicopter with the sweets.
Roache does not express great distaste of the coffee.
No further coffee distain about American 'French Roast'.
More Mayoral comedy removed.
"We need bigger guns." No you don't.
Destruction of Chrysler Building by the Air Force no longer happens. Idiots.
"I think we got him." No you didn't.
Mayor doesn't get offered sweets again.
Audrey's first encounter with Nick has no gooey eyes and dialogue - no reminiscing of the past or allusion to their relationship.
No pictures of Audrey and Nick, Audrey spies the tape and swipes it.
Old man does not say 'Gojira'. Again.
Cut two stupid soldiers who don't notice Zilla's eye and noise he makes when standing!
Blubbing by Audrey all removed, Animal arrives and asks where she is.
Roache doesn't do an Elvis impression.
The Navy don't accidently blow up their own submarine. Idiots.
Nick jumps in an elevator but doesn't arrive at a floor with Zillas eating Popcorn.
Nick doesn't thwart the Zillas by throwing basketballs and gumballs on the floor.
After the explosion in MSG - no-one falls on the floor because:
No heart to heart with Nick and Audrey - Zilla just smashes straight out of MSG and they're all stood up at this stage - can't have continuity errors!
Audrey and Animal do not argue over directions at various points in the final chase.
When Zilla finally collapses - we don't get a rather forced 'comic' wheel go bouncing across the screen.
No celebration of Zillas death.
Finish on the egg hatching. I thought about cutting this, but it seemed far too abrupt.

Your intention for this fanedit:
Since my discovery of the fanedit scene - I've been fascinated with the spectacular results people have achieved by removing (and sometimes inserting) scenes from well known films. I found myself one night watching Emmerich's horrific version of Godzilla. It is crap. No doubt about it - but what I did find myself doing was thinking "I'd remove that scene, hmmm, I'd remove that plot, hmm, I'd cut that in a better place." I kept turning it over in my head and eventually bit the bullet.
My intention was not to make Godzilla a great film, but to remove the bits that annoyed me the most - the worst stinking crap eg. The love subplot, military incompetence, the failing humour. I wanted to make Audrey a heartless bitch as well or, much more selfish....Audrey and Nick would allude to the fact they were involved, but they don't get all googley-eyed about it and get back together.
Another intention was to rename this film 'Zilla'. In Godzilla canon - this creature is not Godzilla - but Zilla, an 'American counterpart' to the real Godzilla. This was working well until I got to the big news piece where everyone was chirping 'Godzilla' every two seconds. I couldn't remove that scene as it was too fundamental to the plot. So that didn't work out too well in the end.
This is my first fan edit - really, I was just doing it to see if I could. It's not well polished and I think there are certainly a few less-than-seemless edits - but it's a least a version I think I can enjoy - should I ever feel the need to watch again! I appreciate that there will be those that will just hate it whatever...fair enough.
Your way to achieve your intention: Removal of love subplot, military incompetence and jokes.
