New submission from moi this week from my archive.
Gunney Highway was made at the same time as Fallen Hero (my Gran Torino Heartbreak Ridge mashup).
While making Fallen Hero, it was clear to me how badly the 80s humor had dated in Heartbreak Ridge. Further, I found the character of Spike/Mario Van Peebles, to be intensely annoying.
Gunney Highway removes over 20 mins of dated humor and corrects a number of continuity error in the sequencing of the cadets' training. This edit also tightens up some of the action for better impact, together with some minor scoring adjustments to deliver a classic Clint movie with the grit one expects, while retaining sufficient credible homor witout the 80s cringe factor.
There will be further WRAITH VAULT submissions in the coming weeks since my live editing and Godfather revisions are delayed due to real world issues in abundance plaguing my creative juices and available down time.
I trust this will please those who find this Clint entry to now be "improved" as I intended and not as I found the original to be; Stuck in Time!
