Synopsis:

In the original movie, Kevin Spacey's character has such a jarring flip on conscience that it almost ruined what is otherwise a really fun movie. So I fixed it! I moved scenes around, added foley, learned some new techniques on Premiere Pro, and even recorded my own voice to fill in some gaps. I hope this redeems Doc and makes the ending more satisfying and fun for everyone!


Intentions:

I was very confused by Kevin Spacey's character's last-minute turn from evil to good, and especially because nothing new happened. So I removed all references to "last jobs", threatening anyone's family, and all Doc's knowledge of Debora's existence. Along the way I realized that the movie alternates slightly from fun and silly to rather gruesome, so I toned down the murders a bit to keep it fun.


Change List:

Added: Hardcoded subs to all sign-language scenes (English) Removed: Doc and Baby in garage "one last job" and "getting square" Foley: Footsteps, bag, hand-off, zipper, background noise Removed: Baby telling Joe "one more job, then I'm done" Removed: Some awkward dialogue during Baby and Debora's meet-cute Removed: Doc pressuring Baby to drive again Added: Shots of Debora while Baby decides if he wants to drive Removed: Doc telling Baby's backstory, which lead to being in Doc's debt Removed: Doc giving Baby his last paycheck and telling him they're "straight" Removed: Three really quick submliminal shots of his memories Shortened: Baby's flashback to when he's a kid Removed: Baby leaving the scrapyard, throwing away gloves, tossing burner Removed: Baby telling Debora he misses his mom Removed: Baby telling Debora he's done driving for good Removed: Baby telling Joe that he's done Removed: Doc threatening Baby and Debora if Baby doesn't drive Music: Lined up the word "kiss" with Baby and Debora kissing Added: Text wipe saying "One Week Later" Moved: Diner call with Debora to before Baby takes his next job Changed: Baby's dialogue so he's telling Debora *this* is his last job Removed: Debora saying she thought Baby was done driving Repurposed: Some audio from Doc as a phone call to Baby Added: Shots of past violence to show Baby's concerns Removed: Doc threatening Joe at Baby's apartment Added: Shot of Debora singing at the diner Removed: Imagined sequence of Debora in black and white Removed: The crew finding Debora's tape Removed: Doc saying "take this fool back to his shithole" Removed: Bats threatening to kill Baby Added: Tense violin audio to cover transition Removed: Bats double-tapping the guard. One shot is enough. Shortened: The running chase scene from 5:20 to 4:00 (-80s) Removed: Buddy saying "Baby you are a fucking jinx!" Removed: Bloody shots of cops being killed by Buddy Matched: The gunshots to a 4/4 rhythm like Edgar would have Removed: Cop saying "can you show me where you're shot?" Altered: Speed of rotation to cover missing dialogue Removed: Buddy saying "right there" when he shoots the cop Removed: ENTIRE ending before getting stopped on the bridge Overlaid: Sky Ferreira singing "Easy Like Sunday Morning"
