The John Boorman re-cut of Exorcist II lacks a few decent scenes. Especially Louise Fletcher playing with her kids in the bathtub and the holy
communion scene.1. The Exorcist (Version You’ve Never Seen) – Excellent
2. The Exorcist (Original) – Superb
4. The Exorcist III – Very Good
7. Exorcist: The Beginning – Fair
5. Dominion: Prequel To The Exorcist -Sucked
5. Exorcist II (John Boorman Re-Cut) – Really Sucked
6. Exorcist II (Theatrical Version) – Sucked Harder.
So what would you call “The Exorcist Trilogy”? If you had to pick 3 of the films to use as a trilogy. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE 2 VERSIONS OF THE SAME FILM!
Mine would be:
Dominion
The Exorcist (Original Version)
The Exorcist IIIAlso, would there be any way to use the Izabella Scourpco possessed scenes in Dominion instead of CheChe? I mean use most of DOminion’s film, just have Sarah being the one who’s possessed?
Not only would it be extremely out of place but Sarah isn’t even in Dominion.
My trilogy is the same!
Yeah, but Clara Bellar plays a nurse. Izabbella plays a nurse. If you were to use the possessed scenes of Izabella, it would just be like Bellar’s character being possessed.
“Hey Chum (Ratboy),”
Hey Greg, nice to see you.
“where’ve you been?”
If you’re refering to the JAWS Board, Jake can go **** himself.
I can’t believe he allowed those two female newbies call me an “@sshole” and then publically slammed me and deleted my post when I fired back at those two bitches.
And that attention whore craving Becki is another one that really ruined the place.
I browsed the Board last week and saw that Becki shooting off her mouth and calling all the people that are against Rob Zombie’s Halloween remake “morons”.
How much do you want to bet that if I or anyone else fought back against her attack, Jake the @sshole will publically reprimend them and then delete their posts.
That place sucks now. It’s dominated by Rob Zombie sycophants, terrorist sympathizing liberals, hostile jerks that are allowed to attack other members on a personal level attention whore Becki spamming the forum with OT topics. That place is the slums.
BTW I read your post to me before Jake the @sshole deleted it. Thanks.
“How are you doing?”
I’m doing pretty well. I’m neck deep into a few fan edit projects of Jaws 2 and Jaws 3 but it will most likely be going on the back burner as the weather is getting warmer.
See ya around buddy !
Well it’s good to see you’re ok, Chum. Good luck on the edit. Just whatever you do, don’t make J2 look bad somehow in the process. 😮
Erm. OK. Bringing this thread back to its subject matter, my ranking is as follows:
1 – The Exorcist (original)
2 – TVYNS
3 – Heretic (yes, I rank it this high… it’s so bad it’s good!)
4 – Legion
5 – Repossessed
6 – Dominion
7 – The Beginning
8 – SeytanExorcist II was re-edited by Boorman quickly after the first release. Here is a list of changes in his re cut:
* A faster reworking of the opening theme is featured, with a bass rhythm similar to that in Richard Burton’s stoning scene.
* An introduction with narration by Burton and stills from both movies is shown; a shot of Burton climbing the steps to the chapel in the opening exorcism scene is added as well.
* In that opening scene, Burton’s momentary prayer to Father Merrin and the touching of Merrin’s picture is cut out.
* Generally, scenes are switched about so that all of those at the Institute are together and those with Burton alone are together. This is probably because they realized that the first two scenes at the Institute feature everyone wearing the same clothing, even though the original cut indicated that they took place days apart.
* The first scene with Linda Blair practicing her tap-dancing is cut out.
* Just about all of the first conversation between Burton and the Cardinal is cut out; only the very beginning and ending are shown.
* It is revealed that Burton is a psychologist.
* During the hypnosis scene, Burton’s line of “I know where she is†in reference to the palpitating Fletcher is cut out, since the next thing he says is “help me to find herâ€.
* Instances in which Burton voices his fascination with the demon Pazuzu are cut out: his line of “horrible…and fascinating†is cut to just “horribleâ€, and a later conversation with Louise Fletcher is cut short also, with Fletcher’s line “You’re obsessed with the idea†dubbed over the original “How about adulation?†as she storms away.
* More voice-overs of “We’re going flying†and such are added to Blair’s dream about Africa as she wanders to the edge of the roof.
* A couple of lines are edited out of the scene where Blair talks with the autistic girl and the girl’s mother walks into the room.* The cardinal and Lamont have an extended disscussion about going to Africa.
* The Communion scene in the mountaintop church is almost entirely cut out, as is part of Burton’s explanation for knowing the location of the missing body a few minutes later.
* Lots of snippets are cut out near the end: Fletcher playing with her children in the bathtub, Kitty Winn whispering “stupid bitch†under her breath, Burton telling the conductor “She is mine!â€, Winn and Fletcher stopping to help the injured man in the car crash, Winn telling the cab driver “Someone is dyingâ€, Burton telling the bus driver to go because Blair has to get home, and a couple others.
* Blair’s line of “Let me reach you†to Burton as he is slumped in the hallway is dubbed out.
* Stock footage of Blair from the first film is spliced in as she enters her old room.
* The “be joined with us, Father†bit is cut out entirely, dubbed over with the later “Kill her†line instead.
* The final three or so scenes are mixed around a bit differently, perhaps to cover up deleted lines. As a result, we don’t see Fletcher running around in the street yelling “Help!†or trying to get Winn out of the fire.
* The very end is totally different: Burton apparently doesn’t survive, and the shot with the roof falling in is mixed with a recording of him yelling “REEEEEGAN!â€. Thus, the entire last scene is removed in which Winn finally dies and Fletcher says goodbye to Burton and Blair. Instead, after the locusts disappear, we see a shot of Regan walking out of the rubble, another of Fletcher standing in a crowd of onlookers (originally the last shot of the movie), a cut back to a close-up of Blair, and then a fade to the credits.
* Lastly, the slow theme played during the ending credits is replaced halfway through with a rock version of the opening theme, which was used for the original theatrical trailer.
