The Drifter scene had some additional dialog as did the scene where the Mariner kills the mutated shark. The entire dynamic of time is stretched out as we see the Tomato plant used as a way to show how long the trio have been without food. ( Ah there’s that edited for content factor -)Īdditional scenes back on board the Mariner’s ship, show that everyone on the ship is recycling they’re urine. The scene was somewhat tainted, as instead of the word “bitch” the dialog was changed to “witch” of the Atoll. (Great stuff!) There’s also a funny scene where the Sky Boat’s Captain (Jack Black) informs Deacon on the attack that killed Joe his gunner. (Slime? What is this Ghostbusters?) There are some additional scenes at this point that show the Deez being rowed in pursuit of the Mariner, and the Deacon putting in his rusted out non-functional control tower as he mulls over pursuing the Mariner. In the original version, Toby says, “it looks like shit” in this version Toby says, “it looks like slime”. That really kinda pissed me off, as here we have a darker story yet the nudity is cut out?īack on the Deez, we cut to the scene where Deacon asks Toby how his eye looks. The scene where Helen, pleads to the Mariner not to kill Enola as she takes off her clothes was totally edited to cut out the full backside shot. Costner really trimmed out a lot of Hopper’s scenes.Īfter the getaway, the tone gets darker as extra dialog shows us how the Mariner really doesn’t give a shit about these two humans. This scene also introduced us to the Deacon’s accountant. New Deacon footage showing him golfing during the attack (viva, Apocalypse Now style) is pretty funny!!! The scene where Deacon executes a prisoner in his attempt to gain knowledge on the girl’s escape was improved by the editing, as the Deacon went into a sermon about Evolution. The raid on the Atoll is awesome as the Smokers show up to take the girl, there’s some great new footage of the attack. There’s also added new footage of Gregor formulating calculations from Enola’s tattoo, and preparing the escape Blimp. There are some great new scenes of the Atoll Council classifying some of the Mariner’s artifacts as weapons to push they’re the case for execution.
After the Mariner is taken the prisoner for being a “Mutation”, there’s some great new footage of Helen fighting in his defense, this only turns the Atoll mob Council against her. The scene with Nord is also expanded with new dialog describing that it’s August in Waterworld. There’s a lot of new footage of the Mariner as he bargains his dirt on the Atoll. They fear she will draw the Smokers to the Atoll. She has been causing a stir among outsiders with stories of the tattooed map to Dryland on her back for too long. In the “New Cut” we see a different side to the residents of the Atoll. SPOILERS AHEAD “WARNING” SPOILERS AHEAD, DANGER, DANGER, DANGER… Waterworld 2008 Extended Cut Review There are some fall backs in the Waterworld Movie’s soundtrack, but that’s to be expected. The new cut also looks very clean, there is no distinction in new footage looking old or thrown in. The last of the humans feared the Mariner mutation as a confirmation of this. He had an overall theme about Dryland, and how the people in Waterworld were all but dead or soon would be. It is clear that Kevin Reynolds had a distinct vision he wanted for the overall story. The new cut of the film is awesome and a much better edit of the actual film. Was this entire film going to be “watered” down? Unfortunately yes! Would it matter? Read on if ya dare!!! THIS FILM HAS BEEN MODIFIED FROM ITS ORIGINAL VERSION TO CONTAIN ADDITIONAL MATERIAL, AND EDITED FOR CONTENT.Įdited for content,? Ooooh Noooo!!!!! As the film started out I noticed right away that the scene where Mariner pees into the cup was edited. There was just one thing that bothered me as the film began, the disclaimer read, With over 40 minutes of additional material, I couldn’t wait to see this classic Sci-Fi film again. I have always wanted to see those scenes one way or another. Over the years talking to people about the film, I found out about the deleted scenes that were cut out. Starring: KEVIN COSTNER, JEANNE TRIPPLEHORN, TINA MAJORINO, MICHAEL JETER, AND DENNIS HOPPER
