“[Intention:] To make the best possible version of Stanley Kubrick’s final film. One that can stand with Kubrick’s other classics such as A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, 2001, and so on.”
“This Octopussy cuts the worst special effect: gone is the hot-air balloon in the final battle. In a franchise famed for using real effects over special effects, that balloon was an awful stage prop! It cuts over the top bits: e.g. no swinging on a vine like Tarzan. It cuts the worst sexism bits: no ogling the bosom of Q’s lab assistant, and no “good with figures” joke about the minor Bond girl.”
“To compare the two versions of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers that were filmed in CinemaScope (2:55) and one in a “flat” widescreen (1.77). respectively with full annotations explaining how and why EVERY shot in the movie differs.”
