Army of Darkness: Remix/hybrid version in the works.

I'm a big fan of the 81 minute theatrical version we all know and love.

When I heard about the director's cut, I was excited, but that version(I first saw via the Anchorbay dvd release) was disappointing as it missed the great one liners we all remember from the theatrical cut( "Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun") and the pacing dragged and the ending was blah.

Then I found out about the International Cut which was longer than the U.S. version, but contained the U.S. ending. I thought it'd be the best version of the film, until I discovered it was missing not only the memorable one liners from the U.S. version, but the windmill sequence was drastically cut and less amusing than the U.S. version(despite being longer at the beginning of the scene than the U.S. version).

So frustrating!

So my plan is to create the ultimate cut of the film that keeps the manic pace(and terrific one liners) of the U.S. version, while adding a bit more footage the International Cut uses, and even throwing in two exclusive television version scenes.

The finale at the castle will be a tough one though, as I'm going to have to compare the theatrical vs international version to see where they differ. In general. The theatrical packs more oomph from what I recall.
