Wth, this looks 100x better than the theatrical release i just reviewed. One of my biggest complaints was the coloring was awful. Looked like it was shot on a phone while this looks like Cinema.
@@rossclarksonHKSC I wish the fights were longer; I loved the released cut and I think your cut will probably be even better, I can see it, I loved Undisputed. You should post footage of your cut, but TLK is very strict when it comes to using content from the movie, so perhaps use a different thumbnail and a title that doesn't highlight the movie's name "The Last Kumite". Man, your cut seems much better, much darker as well.
Why weren't you involved in postproduction? Did you have a fall out with the producers? What would you do different to the story, training montages, length of the fights, etc?
@@prestigeworldwide1754 They no longer talk to me, This is Sean's first film. He just has no experience so no point. He should stick to reviewing basketball games on RUclips.
@@rossclarksonHKSC How would I do that? I just want your cut to be available somehow because I don't think my contribution to the film was very worth it and it seems like your cut is promising from what I see and hear....
@@rossclarksonHKSC They are not responding, and it's safe to say they wont.. It's very unfortunate your version may not see the light of day due to the producer, all though I hope so. If it won't, is there any other way I can see your version?
@@rossclarksonHKSC Good to know, thanks! Do you know when we can see your cut? I really enjoyed the theatrical version and thought you did a great job. Film is well shot.

Without Stan Bush and Paul Hertzog it's pointless.
True.
I'm not allowed to use their music..
This clip is wonderfully dark, more brutal and more serious. That's what I wanted to see. Sean David made a childish trash film out of it.
You're correct..
It’s a tribute to 80s movies, not supposed to be that dark.
@@martinddhyj It's a tribute, not a copy..
I agree what you say, this looks way more serious, This colour grading lifts the movie to a better level, no doubt!

The color grading in this Director's Cut Reel video is even worse.
@@theblackesteyesthedevilseyes I respectfully disagree. At least this LOOKS color graded
@@ThornTheaterReviews This colour grading lifts the movie to a better level, no doubt!
Will this version have longer fight scenes? The fight scenes in the theatrical version felt short.
The fights will basically be the same. Better colour, more emotion, different editing & music.

It's a long story, Yes I had a fall out with a producer. In my contact is a director's cut, I don't think it will ever be released.
@@rossclarksonHKSC im sorry to hear, will you make a video on this, and perhaps the producers could reply
@@prestigeworldwide1754 They no longer talk to me, This is Sean's first film. He just has no experience so no point. He should stick to reviewing basketball games on RUclips.
@@rossclarksonHKSC i see but if you get your own explanation video out that might push the backers to demand from Sean to see a directors cut.
@@prestigeworldwide1754 They block and threaten me if I say anything.
That's almost kafkaesk... like some of the famous Rainer Werner Fassbinder movies... 😲
So is there a reason your cut will never be released? Would've liked a film directed by a real director instead.
You'd have to ask the producers...

@@fitnam9015 No, sorry.
Great job
Ross, I’m not sure how this is that much different from the theatrical version? Other than the music, it’s pretty much the same.
It will have unseen footage, different music, better colour, and a more coherent storyline, a different feel.. this is only a showreel..
@@rossclarksonHKSC Good to know, thanks! Do you know when we can see your cut? I really enjoyed the theatrical version and thought you did a great job. Film is well shot.
@@macGyver722 I don't know if they will ever release it.. That's up to the producers.
