No surprise that the Director's Cut does not appear to be remastered. There's not much they can do with it.

 

[B-ROLL]

So their not including the Jerry Goldsmith score? Or is that on the Director's Cut?

It's on the director's cut. Tangerine Dream is on the theatrical.

 

[Bryan^H]

I would have much rather had a 4K Dolby Vision HDR on this dazzling film with Dolby Atmos of the wonderful Tangerine Dream score.

But like the Bible says, You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit.

 

[dpippel]

Yeah, I'm also disappointed that Arrow isn't releasing this in one of the outstanding 4K editions. Bummer.

 

[JoshZ]

James Flower from Arrow Films posted a lengthy explanation on Twitter as to why they can't release this in 4K.

I may be wrong, but after reading through his tweets he seems to be talking specifically about the Director's Cut elements, not the Theatrical Cut.

 

[Lord Dalek]

He is referring to the Director's cut. It only exists in an answer print which barely had enough visual information for Blu-ray when it was remastered 10 years ago.

That being said, J-D-C Scope is the 4k equivalent of the Fargo woodchipper so I'm not surprised Arrow elected to do their restoration of the theatrical cut in 2k.

 

[Bryan^H]

The theatrical cut is the only one I ever watch, and I know that is blasphemy to some, but just the way it is for me.

 

[JoshZ]

But like the Bible says, You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit.

That sounds like a pretty serious case of "Do what I say, not what I do" from Old Testament Yahweh.

Ask 10 different people which is the best version of Legend, and you'll get 10 different answers (and there's only three versions ).

Seriously, everyone seems to have a different opinion about why their favorite cut is the best, and that's one of the things that makes this movie so fascinating.

This was on a postcard included in my copy of Tremors. I'm pretty sure this means that another postcard teaser, Inglorious Basterds, is coming...

I've never seen Legend before and I've seen pretty much all of the good, the bad and the ugly that Ridley Scott has made during his incredible career. It's obviously a cult movie. Is it as bad as A Good Year?

Inglourious Basterds must be their big fall/holidays release so I'd guess it'll be out in October or November.

I think if you're into mid-80's fantasy movies like The Dark Crystal, The Never Ending Story, or Labyrinth, you might enjoy Legend too.

I won't ever watch the theatrical again. Crappy editing, medioce Tangerine Dream score (Universal has thrown away the better score more than once: remember the TORN CURTAIN debacle?) Director's cut: more finely-tuned, with magnificent Goldsmith music.

 

[dpippel]

IMO the film is a glorious trainwreck no matter which version you're talking about, but it's worth it for Tim Curry's performance (and his amazing makeup) alone.

Watching this movie once was enough for me.

I'm going to add that is as close a feature film has ever gotten to the role playing game 'Dungeons and Drangons'. Emphasis on the underworld, and demons. But also goblins, wights, fairies, and unicorns. I think nostalgia, and the alignment of my role playing adventures at the time it was released is the reason I like it so much.

 

[Lord Dalek]

Theatrical (or more precisely the US Domestic version) is a complete mess. Not unwatchable mind you, but its really to go back to after you see what Ridley was trying to do before Sid Sheinberg put a boot on his throat.

I always thought Conan The Destroyer owned that title!
