Licence Revoked

Lastsurvivor has cracked the case!

A project that proved to be quite complex at times, altering Licence to Kill to work with a new narrative pays off here. Borrowing some elements of another editor helped point LS in the directions he wanted to take, and the result is a masterclass in editing and pacing that makes this Bond a skilled contender for the best entry in the series...certainly the best entry in LS' series of Bond edits to date just for the challenges and frustrations involved, and he managed to overcome them.

A solid film and a hard-fought victory in the saga of man vs the edit!

Bond is back and with Last Survivor's help, he has never been better!

Another thoroughly enjoyable Bond edit by LS. Gone is the action packed traditional opening. In its stead, is a darker, more intimate toned opening which continues through the rest of the movie as Bond embarks on journey of cold vengeneance. Only nitpick here, the pre-credit opening does feel a tad bit longer than normal.

Some clever edit magic done on the opening titles, such as inserting the License Revoked title card and the new scene replacement/transition through the camera lens -- marvelous stuff!!!

Lots of small trims/cuts to keep the tone consistant, most completely unnoticeable. The subplot of the love triangle has been expertly removed -- thank goodness! It was the most painful element of the original to watch lol.

Audio replacement work -- WOW!!! Last Survivor is now the reigning master in this department. I know he made changes but the movie gods help me, most of them went by me completely unnoticed until he pointed them out in his commentary. BRAVO!

And the commentary! What can I say at this point that I have not said many times before? Deeply informative and entertaining. What more could you want or need? Professional home media bonus content creators should take lessons from Last Survivor on how to do good commentary.

Highly recommended! A fan edit by one of our Best!!! You can not go wrong. :)
