Just finished watching this edit, and I have to say it's pretty damn good.
It does a brilliant job of shortening the movie without feeling like anything's missing, and the music choices are amazing especially in the finale, which is a two minute masterpiece. While I'm not the biggest fan of the original, I found this to be a very enjoyable hour.
My only real complaint is that I watched this with my wife who'd never seen the original, and she was pretty confused by the swastika branding. She didn't really get what had happened even at the end, so that could be clearer. I also thought that the original intro scene of Hans killing the Jews under the floorboards was great, and it's a shame that it was cut, but I understand why it was cut, so I don't think it's at all necessary for it to be in the edit.

I felt that removing the entire "Jew Hunter" beginning was necessary to cut the time. It also left much to the imagination about Shoshanna. Even if I inserted a flashback later. You can thank Wraith for that brilliant idea. Thanks again for your kind words. As you know, Red Apple Crew is a collaborative effort. We all worked on all of the edits. So the credit is equal.
