Hey there,
I thought the boxers had polka dots?????????? <GGG>
That was the right answer to the question in the game on the second DVD,
anyhow, and that's what I thought I saw when I found the secret clip......
Forever Peace,

Since DPP had plenty of time & no one forcing them
: into bad choices as to the PCut, THESE goofs are
especially irksome &
: unforgivable.
Yeah, I feel that way too. If they were going to do their
own version in the first place, why in God's name didn't
they try and *at least* make it error free? Surely they had
the time, since the release date was their choice, so what
was up with releasing a version with at least the same
number of goofs, if not more, as the rush job? Granted, they
fixed the HG goof, and thereby set in stone the notion that
all Watchers are brain-dead, but that was pretty much a
given anyway... <g>
:
:
: I didn't notice that. (Though the ending doesn't work for
me in any
: version.)
I'm wondering now if it's on the DVD version, or if it was
left in somehow (oh, gee, another accident) in the version
that was earmarked to be converted for pan and scan -- or
whatever they call that process. <g> Gerry (?) said it's one
of the 'hidden' clips on the DVD, not part of the actual
fight. In the VHS version (and how many versions of Endgame
would *that* make?)(and are there any other differences?)
it's there: a clear, full face shot of someone who isn't
Duncan or Kell. Or AP or BP, for that matter. <g>
I haven't seen the DVD, either disk, and after renting the
VHS from Blockbuster I was more than content to wait for a
taped copy of same from a friend. Who may or may not get
around to it this year. <g> I have less than no interest in
paying money for that version -- especially since I've got
the theatrical now.
The only things I really liked, and wished had been in the
theatrical, were the added footage in the Kell fight (not to
include the mirror!Duncan moment <g>) and Methos giving
Duncan his sword back. They can keep the extra Rachel stuff;
I much preferred the spookiness of her finding her picture
skewered on a sword to worrying why someone who worked in
that loft was tippy toeing around, looking scared out of her
gourd, for no good reason. And the chatter in the loft bored
me senseless (like I cared about Faith's supposed fashion
sense?)(for a haute couture designer, they surely dressed
her like last year's news -- and don't get me started on the
acolytes' attire -- or were they a posse? A gaggle?
Brothers? <g,d,r>
Ah. And my most favorite add-on. Kell and Faith supposedly
insulting each other. "Fuck you." "I've already had you."
"Not really." Show of hands? Anyone out there who *hasn't*
used that, or some close variation thereof, at some point in
their high school or college days? Thought so. Anyone used
it since they grew up a tad? <weg> First, shouldn't that
have been set *after* she had been with Duncan, not before?
Considering Kell's delicate sniff of the air in her vicinity
(ick), followed by the 'you've been with him' comment. Or
was that a generic 'him'? She certainly *looked* like the
last cheap hooker in NYC, so hey, maybe it was one of her
other boys. <g>
It was nice they fixed the disappearing coat thing & showed
: how the men got from bottom to top during the fight, but
WHY would they
: reuse footage in such an obvious way? Especially, when
they had all the
: time in the world to actually sit & WATCH what they'd
patched together!
Shrug. Beats me.

Ha! ha! You're right, of course. I suddenly remembered. That makes it even
more hilarious then. :)

I realize all of that. But, it should still be clear which version--theater
or PCut--is the basis for what shows up later, ad nauseum, on regular TV.

Um, I doubt it for HL:EG. (Did ANYONE catch HL:EG in mid-air???) Sci-fi
movies aren't usually shown in the friendly skies, & I don't see any reason
this particular one would have been a rarity.

Can't be any worse that the non-AP dubbing for DM in the new final scene of
the PCut. (The only way THAT could have been worse was if they'd used a
woman--w/ a Southern accent & a bad head cold.)
