original movie: THE ROCK
intention: get rid of annoying jokes and some over the top scenes.

status: audio and video editing and encoding finished.

Description:
Now this is a true fanedit, a fanedit for true fans, because it does not change so much from the original movie but to get it rid of some annoying parts that bug you when you watch it for the 3rd or 4th time (or at least they bug me more and more).
What I always disliked about The Rock were the lame joke comments from the statists and the funny comments that felt sometimes so displaced ("I hope you are insured."). Still I really dig this movie, it is for me one of the finest action movies ever created with a great pair of stars, really adding a lot to each other (Connery and Cage). My fanedit is 10 minutes short to the original and from the preview I can say it is faster paced, because less distracting. I spent a long time over a scene which I never liked: the rollercoaster mourge scene. And the final decision was: it's gone. Now there is a little problem in taking it out, I know, but in fact it only clarifies an already existing logical problem. Find out yourself or not at all what I am talking about. I would have loved to cut the bomb drop on the rock, but that was plotwise not possible.
Finally I have THE ROCK like I always wanted to watch it. :)

To be released pretty soon.

Current details:
2h runtime, English, German, Spanish, Russian, English subtitles
Animated menus, CBB info.
I am not sure if I will have any place left for extras. If there is ther will be some.

Maybe downloadable from Fanedit.info

The Rock is right up there in the top end of my league of great action films, so will be interesting to see this. As you say, it has a sprinkling of irritating moments.

To quote the great Chuck D of Public Enemy,

"Here we go again!"

Yet another CBB issue that I am waiting for with baited breath. Hurry up, huh? Can't hold my breath forever!

I just sat through the Rock like 2 weeks ago.
I was stunned by how much I originally liked it and how painful it is now.

You're exactly right, there are some lame attempts at humor that fall flat. Really really flat.
Lines that should never have come out of peoples mouths are in that film.

I can never blank out of my mind Sean Connery saying "Losers whine about trying their best. Winners go home and f*** the prom queen."

I can't wait to see how this looks.

Just watched this again this weekend, and enjoyed it. But, yeah, the bad jokes have got to go. I did like the prom queen line, though.

Can't wait for this one.

Imo to greenish, I'd change to a more "earthy" tone, title itself looks good with its "Solid metal plate finish".

Second I'd change the front pic, it looks somehow like "Olympia addicted to the Matrix", if you know what I'm suggesting here...

Keep it coming, Chief!
