2 PM showing, 15 minute intermission, back to the car just before 7 PM... that was an experience!

The changes are actually pretty minor:

  1. The anime sequence that provides O-Ren's backstory is extended, showing how she got her revenge on the assassin who killed her parents, not just the boss who ordered it.

  2. In the original fight with the Crazy 88, she does an eye pluck and the rest of the fight is in black and white, this cut remains in color for the full run of part 1.

  3. Part One ends right after The Bride's speech to Sophie, "And I want them all to know they'll soon be as dead as O-Ren." Break for intermission. No cliffhanger.

  4. Part 2 opens with the Church scene, a recap of part 1 not being necessary.

  5. Added material after the end credits including a new scene set after the killing of Vernita Greene showing the end of the Pussy Wagon. Gogo's sister flies to L.A. for revenge.

That whole sequence is weird as it's, not kidding, animated in Fortnite and seems to follow Fortnite violence rules. Uma Thurman does return to do the voice of the Bride though.

Overall, it's a good flick, but I think I like the original versions better.

First, the second movie also has sequences in black and white, and because the big fight scene is now in full color, there's no precedent for the B&W footage, it just kinda comes out of nowhere.

Second, the cliffhanger at the end of part 1 is epic, it seems criminal to cut it.

Third, Fortnite? Seriously? They couldn't even be bothered to call the Pussy Wagon "Pussy Wagon", it's "😸 Wagon".

Edit The Fortnite clip is on the Fortnite YouTube channel:

My friend was talking about seeing this a month ago and then found out the new scene was made in fortnite and now refuses. We also thought that was dumb to do. It just seemed like he sold out to make a fortnite promotion more than anything and thats pretty awful. Besides that thanks for the list of other changes since we really didnt think there were any.

He was also talking about how bad Paul Dano is recently which was also in bad taste. I really hope he hasn't lost it in his old age... I really dont want to end up hating him over saying more dumb stuff.

The director reunited with Uma Thurman for a motion-capture short film called "The Lost Chapter: Yuki's Revenge," as created in Fortnite's game engine (source)

So... Unreal Engine?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, but with Fortnite graphics. Unreal 5 is capable of so much more.

Shit, they really did that? How the mighty have fallen...
