Synopsis:

This edit focuses on the story of the Krays as adults and cuts out the focus on them growing up which slows the film down. With the focus moved to their adolescent mob life, the pacing is not fast and tight.


Intentions:

I always felt the film was too focused on their childhood growing up in the blitz, so this in mind, I removed most of their childhood and a few unnecessary scenes so it would focus on their adult criminal activites for what they really were known and famous for. This is a tighter, faster paced version of THE KRAYS – the famous criminal twins. The focus is moved to their adolescent mob life.


Change List:

Removed: Walden looking for the Krays father (Charlie Snr) Aunt Rose giving the twins the toy crocodiles The Underground (Bethnal Green) Violet Kray and Aunt Rose getting ready for the Krays Club Reggie Kray and his wife (Frances) arguing in the bedroom Ronnie and Violet walking through the cemetery Added: Updated – The film’s epilogue (which originally only explained the twins’ prison sentences for their crimes).
