Synopsis: 

Everybody loves Deer Hunter, but it was way, way too long, with so much in it that really slows the movie down and shifts your attention from the main focus. The Deer Hunter: Skinned is a cut down, slimmer version of a classic.

Intentions: 

Of all the fan-edits that seem to be repeatedly done for different franchises, I couldn’t think of a film that I wanted to do that someone else hadn’t done already. That was when I remembered The Deer Hunter. Everybody loves it, but I couldn’t help but think that it was way, way too long, with so much in it that really slows the movie down and shifts your attention from the main focus. With that in mind, I present The Deer Hunter: Skinned – a cut down, slimmer version of a (supposed) classic.

Change List: 

Roughly 45 minutes have been cut. Despite this being my first fan-edit, this is not a shoddily edited package cutting all the bits I think are “boring”. Having studied film at university, I like to think that I know what I’m doing in this regard. To this end, I have included an audio commentary which should give a satisfactory explanation of all of my edits. If anybody disagrees with my edit – and I’m sure that many will – feedback/discussion will be very much appreciated.
