This edit gives Reservoir Dogs a little TLC, without altering the structure or the chronology of the original film. Taking inspiration from Tarantino films that were released after Reservoir Dogs, I have introduced some subtle editing techniques relating to pans, zoom and cuts. Colour correction has helped reduced the magenta over saturation in the original and exposure has been bumped up very slightly. Perhaps the biggest change compared to the original film, is Mr Blonde’s cop torture scene. For this scene I have switched some aspects of this scene to monochrome, as a nod to Kill Bill Vol 1. Where new music has been introduced or changed, it is period correct, i.e. 1970’s. A couple of continuity errors have also been corrected

Wages of Fear improves the original structure of Sorcerer by introducing the prologue vignettes in a complimentary way, that feels more meaningful and purposeful, to help move the story along whilst also revealing important information about key characters, as their story in the present unfolds. Wages of Fear remains faithful to the original film in terms of editing style, music and overall pace but also layers some much-needed TLC over areas of the original edit that felt rushed or were jarring.

The film starts with Niander Wallace, CEO of Wallace Corp, consumed by the knowledge that a replicant was born, he plots to capture and reverse engineer the child at all costs. Key characters and the core objective are now introduced much earlier in the film, some scenes and exposition have been removed, which either didn’t move the plot along or were duplicated elsewhere. The balance of how officer K and Luv are portrayed has also been changed to give them both a menacing edge and some parity in their motives. Who is the protagonist or antagonist is left more open now. These changes, along with changes to the film score help to add a little soul, intrigue, brutality and tenderness, which rebalances the film and is a more rewarding watch.
