SCENES CUT/TRIMMED/EDITED

1 Removed Katana complaining about the sentencing of Connor and Ramirez

2 Removed most of dialogue with two henchmen now they are told to go to earth and kill Connor then they leave with no silly laughing.

3 Removed more more laughing when two henchmen find Connor and joined the 'MaCleod' line to what was left to flesh it out slightly also removed the 'lucky guess' line as it is now redundent.

4 Removed dumb and whiney 'let me have him, but i want him, its my turn' lines

5 Removed closeup of henchman laughing after shooting at Connor on metal stairs.

6 Removed police car arriving and then being blown up by 1 shot from henchmans gun and more laughing. makes fight scene flow much better

7 Removed a small laughing scene after Connor gets hit by the back of the truck. didnt remove all the laughter as henchman thinks Connor is dead so is justified in laughing a little bit. also helps with continuity a bit.

8 Removed stupid comedy scene where tramp asks for a light from flying henchman and gets blown to smithereens.

9 Removed 'shithead' from Ramirez's 'farewall shithead' line.

10 Removed Connor/Louise sex scene it now looks like they just kiss.

11 Removed another shithead line after a punk congratulates ramirez on his 'threads'

12 Removed the 'Psychic Cook' TV ad.

13 removed Katanas 'this sure doesn't look like kansas' line and the silly split screen tv/Katana shot of the punk looking at him. now Katana just looks at the punk and then grabs him.

14 subway train sequence heavily cut to slow it down to a more sensible speed ie 140mph, all scenes of people flying around in the coach have been removed. (really really pleased with how this came out)

15 Taxi scene heavily edited to remove stupid/redundent dialogue

16 Drunk woman and plane safety video removed.

17 Removed Ramirez's introduction line from the MAX entrance. now Connor just asks which direction vegas is.

18 removed Louises 'outstanding' line after Katana is run over, it was just plain dumb.

19 Removed the 'always play the favourite' line cos again it was stupid.

20 Removed Katanas 'then again maybe not' line after killing David Blake. He wouldnt of cared what Blake thought.

SCENES ADDED

the Connor/Louise/soldier fight on the way to the control room.

I never did understand that sex scene. How much of a whore do you have to be to have sex with a guy like 15 seconds after meeting him?

 

[nOmArch]

indeed, it was a little silly, give me the scene from HL3 anyday of the week

to be honest i dont think any amount of editing could save this, ahem, movie and i just used it as an excuse to learn the basics.

i think i could of done a couple of the cuts a little better but considering what iw as working with i think i did a pretty good job. also i really need to learn about sound editing/remixing/insertion/crossfading as that would help a LOT in one of two sections. you'll probably hear when you see it where i did a bit of editing on the sound ie could of been done better but as its my first effort im overall happy with the result.

i'd appreciate your feedback if/when you do see it!!

:lol: LOL HAHHAHA yeh, ol' Connor musta been wearing that phermone spray i keep hearing about! Haha

I can see it now:

Highlander 2 deleted scene -

Connor (talking to himself) : Wow, that lady is fine. If she is going to have sex with someone, it must be me! (Sprays phermones on shirt) There can be only one!

nOmArch, i think it's safe to say that we've all had to go through learning sound blending. It's a painful, but essential skill in fan cutting. I'm sure you'll get better and it'll become second nature. 8)

[nOmArch]

Just to let everyone know, Version 2 has gone out to Boon and AvP today. the sound issues have been fixed and i have rebuilt the menus as the original were, to be honest, crap.

I Think I Understand What That Sex Scene meant. Virginia thinks Connor is so God-like after being aged backwards and returned to immortality that she tried to be Mary to Martin Scorsese's Jesus. Now let's hear how the director of the original product (not to mention Renegade) explains their meaning????
