Anything different from this to the finished film?
- The unused gunbarrel where Dalton made a jump
- A few scenes are extended that were later cut a bit
- The music is from previous Bond films since the score of TLD hadn´t been finished
- No Main Titles
- Necros voice sounds different (Wisniewski was later dubbed I think)
- Afghanistan Airfield action sequence is missing
One has to really know the theatrical version inside out to spot all the details in the workprint.
But what really interests me is the uncut Dr No workprint. :)
Not much, except that some lines are not dubbed. It does have the soundtrack as the scoring was done earlier in during production.
1) Dr. No's line I'm sure she will amuse the guards was considered too sexually suggestive, and has been redubbed instead to The guards will amuse her.
2) Shortly after, Dr. No's henchmen beating up Bond as he is sat at the table has been trimmed, introducing a dissolve to the next scene much earlier to cover the removal of violent footage.
3) Bond's fight with the chauffeur has been trimmed, including the removals of blows to the chauffeur when he is unable to defend himself. A knee kick in this fight was also removed.
PS. Do you have the working print of FRWL?
Yes, these cuts are in my version of Dr. No.
I have watched the workprint of FRWL but i don't have it.
The Cr and Sf workprint would be interesting considering those films were nipped and tucked quite a bit.
Also TWINE was said to run for like 3hrs when initially put together but Apted has said that the reason the cut was so long was because all the action sequences were put in totally uncut, apparently the pre-titles ran for just over half an hour.
I uploaded the workprint version of the gunbarrel on youtube.
Coincidentally, when I was browsing through Goldeneye videos on youtube, I stumbled upon a workprint version of the car chase between Bond and Xenia with the property of MGM/UA logo. I don't recall any differences but the video is from the same workprint as I have.
The Octopussy and Goldeneye workprints were given to me at the Commander Bond forum.
Don't we all? If only they were more readily available than they seem to be.
Sounds like a very good idea to me.
Sounds good - especially the '54 CR which I've yet to see in full.
What's interesting is that the workprint scene reminds me of CR, which was really rather violent, I suppose its no coincidence they had the same director.
