Movies That Should Have Been Epic

[Aractus]

How was Blade Runner a terrible movie?

It wasn't, but it wasn't a blockbuster success either.

If he's thinking what I'm thinking, he probably meant the original theatrical cut which was so fecked over by executive meddling that it became almost a travesty of what it should have been. The principal offense, of course, was Deckard's voice over which pulled the rug from under the entire film in the final scenes.

Incidentally, there are rumours of a Blade Runner 2 floating around, as well as a BR/Prometheus crossover.

Deckard's V/O was Scott's initiative. The major offense to the theatrical cut was the ending.

Here's my next one:

LEGION (Exorcist III)

Although I haven't read the book, I understand that Legion doesn't have an exorcism in it, and it was tacked into the movie at the studio's instance. If they had trusted W.P.B. then they would have had another blockbuster like Exorcist I.
