Running Scared - True Crime Edition
Its Find The Gun, Or Death ..
original film name: Running Scared
new film name : Running Scared - True Crime Edition
film studio name : Lions Gate
edit crew name : Elbarto1
Date Original Film Was Released : 2006
Date Edit Was Released : March 2009
Original Runtime : 122 min
New Runtime : 92 min
Amount of time Cut/Added : 30 minutes cut
Fanedit Details:
Anyone that has seen the original will remember that this film was a style over substance action film that (IMO) wasn't all that bad. However there were a few scenes and subplots that I felt didn't belong and either slowed the film down or took the focus off the main storyline. My intent was to keep the focus on the .38 by removing a few subplots and changing the schmaltzy tacked on 'twist' ending to something more plausible. This makes Joe a criminal and better fits his actions and attitude throughout the film.
The Changes: !!!-Includes Major Spoilers-!!!
Added New Intro Credits.
Removed "Flash Forward" Intro
Removed first scene of Oleg and Nick playing hockey in Joes basement
Trimmed some minor dialog and reordered a few 'flashback' scenes for better effect.
Complete Removal of the pedophile subplot from the film as I felt it just didn't belong in this film, even though it was a really good/creepy scene.
Removed any mention of Joey being an undercover cop (hence the title: True Crime Edition) because it just didnt make sense IMO and seemed like a twist for twists sake. Now Joey is a criminal through and through.
Trimmed and Restructured Pimp vs Joe Diner Fight and dialog.
Removed everything after Joe "Dies" in Wife's arms. No fake funeral, No happy ending
Added New Closing Credits.
Simple Color Correction to tweak the image more to my liking
Minor Image Noise Reduction to lessen the grain slightly
