Boogie Nights – Full Frontal Edition

For a movie that celebrates the excesses of the 70s adult film industry, an extended cut makes absolute sense, and it almost the essential way to experience Boogie Nights. I loved getting to watch this packed-to-the-gills version of a great hangout movie, put together seamlessly for maximum grooviness. My only quibble would be the Becky and Jerome sequence dragging on a bit too long -- it's a moment of actual tragic violence and drama in a movie whose moments of seriousness are otherwise entirely leavened by comedy or irony. A bit of trimming of that scene could leave the tone completely intact and get the viewer to the car crash a bit faster.

However, that's a very minor tonal nitpick that doesn't change the fact that this is the only version of Boogie Nights anybody needs going forward. A terrific job. Neglify, "you've got the touch."

wow what a fan edit.
i loved this movie when it was released but i dont get to watch it much anymore due to my wife's disgust for the movie(i think she caught me looking a heather Graeme).
i love the thought of the deleted scenes added, but they dont really add a whole heap and there is a reason for them getting cut out of the movie.
i love the ham and cheese deleted scene as it is as badly acted as a real porno but just the whole scene is funny and well worth adding it back in.
it a very well edited fanedit, as i said earlier i am a big fan of the film so i knew were all the scenes were added but as normal it is edited perfect (normal for neg) there were no bad audio cuts and yes the movie does feel longer but i will be watching this cut again as i had a really good time with it and i highly recommend this edit.

A simple, but well-executed insertion of deleted scenes. They were a bit jarring, however, assumingly because of the worser video quality - and, more importantly, the audio quality. It's unavoidable, so maybe I'm being harsh in docking stars for it, but I think it's worth noting if you're interested in checking out the edit though.

As mentioned in the listing, this edit is NOT meant to replace the original. But, if you're a fan of Boogie Nights, you'll appreciate the work done here and probably enjoy the bloated runtime.

Boogie Nights since it was released has always been a personal favorite of mine! So when I saw the deleted scenes from my purchased special edition , I determined "from my point of view" - having these scenes placed back in makes the movie more FUN ...if...you are a big fan! Yes, I know why PT Anderson cut them out, but if you loved the movie, saw those deleted scenes, and WANT them put back in to enjoy a longer movie - then you want this fan edit!!!

Sure, most of the additions are incidental material...but some folks like that. HOWEVER I must point out adding the sub plots with Dirk learning about the death of his younger competitor, helping Becky, and then experiencing the Car Crash - really make this complete for me!!! The other scene with the improv of the gang getting high, as shown from under the coffee table was hilarious! That is IMPROV and a welcome addition, too.

As for the fanedit technicals - I thought the edits were clean and produced with the best technology and skill possible! Please contact me if we can make arrangements for me to obtain a copy of your most superior quality version you have!

Thanks again -

I’m not sure how the director could have left these deleted scenes behind. Neglify spreads apart the film and firmly inserts these segments to create a deeply satisfying edit. This version isn’t merely about length, with swollen storytelling spewing irrelevant junk at us—no, oh God, oh my God, no—the inserted scenes flesh out the characters as they probe and thrust their way toward their sad climaxes. Highly recommended—come check out this release. It’s an epic ride.
