True Romance: A Hyperviolent Cut

I'm a big fan of True Romance and this edit is brilliant. There have been a few 'Tarantino Cuts' over the years to varying degrees of success, but this leaves them all in the dust. I daresay this is the definitive cut of the movie. It's one thing to slap in the deleted scenes and reorder them according to the script, but to have that keen eye to know what to leave in and out to improve the narrative is next level. Then you've got an improved soundtrack, amazing additional VFX and properly done 5.1 audio mix.... there's nothing more you could want from this, other than a full length commentary track. Fans of the original should absolutely watch, non-fans should watch just for the masterclass in fanediting. Well done.

What a blow! When ask about what's my favorite Tarantino movies, True Romance always ends among my top 5 favorites despite it not directed by QT, Tony Scott is a legendary filmmaker, but the directing style in the original film is too "classic", I always felt that this story deserved a more boosted/Tarantin-Esque directing style. And True Romance: A Hyperviolent Cut lived up to my expectations, I'm not too much into the grindhouse grainy photography, but man it works so damn well here! The non-linear storytelling adds more punch to the narrative. The musical aspect was top-notch, with great choices of songs, perfectly balanced to capture the Tarantino essence without leaning into a jukebox movie. And of course, big cherry on top of that huge creamy cake, the extra-violence VFX, probably the best special effects I've ever seen in a fanedit, it's a real massacre, I was literally "blown away" by how professional it looked, especially that satisfying moment where Gandolfini's head went boom, but the most impressive one, was that huge hole in Clarence's eye, you really put some hard work in this!
Amazingly well-crafted edit! I can't recommend it enough for any QT fan.

Well, that's hard to rate. True Romance is one of my all-time favorite films... so I was very excited to see the Tarantino Cut. and I'm happy to say that it's a technically flawless cut and I enjoyed the additional VFX .

The music changes were fine for the most part - but Cypress Hill just doesn't fit the mood of the original film with all its rock(-abilly) influences. Also, cutting within one of the most iconic scenes (Christopher Walken & Dennis Hopper dialogue) is almost unforgivable in my eyes.

I would have liked to see the title cards inserted as in the original script - this could have helped smooth out the jumps between scenes. For example, the jump between Clarence and Alabama's first meeting in the theater and their arrival at his father's trailer is a bit abrupt. I wouldn't mind seeing a few scenes of the wedding, etc., before moving on to the next scene.

Even though this could read like a very critical review - it's based on the fact that Tony Scott already made a great movie.
You can see the effort that went into the edit and I really enjoyed watching the movie as close to the original script as possible.

By the way, I have no problem with the choice of the original ending. Eve if Tarantino has made his peace with the Scott ending today.

Im being pernickety here about this being a shade or two shye of a full on Grindhouse effort. These being heavy and dark shades, of course. Not putting anything on the table myself right now but with all these stars and the already sabotage happy vibe its an easy shot.

Definitely a massive improvement already in this draft, back canvas piece!!

This edit is a blast!
I really like the grainy look of the edit and the added songs makes this a lot more Tarantino.
The alternative ending without the voice-over and new music makes this the perfect ending of the film.
A big thanks for replacing the original Hans Zimmer score.
The out of order scene order also works great here in line with the original screenplay.

I still like the original version that Tony Scott made but I really think that this version is better and more in line of Tarantino's original vision.

Exellent Work here Krausfadr!
10 out of 10!
I really recommend this edit for every Tarantino fan out there!
