Synopsis:
An exploration of the dark and miserable Basin City and three of its residents, all of whom are caught up in violent corruption.
Intentions:
‘Sin City: Extended Theatrical Edit’ takes the extended and additional scenes from the official ‘Extended, Unrated, Recut’ version of the film, and puts them back into the order of the ‘Theatrical Cut’ of the film. I know a version of this exists somewhere, but I couldn’t find it, (I didn’t look too hard to be fair, and I wanted to try making it myself).
Change List:
I believe there are 10, either extended or additional scenes in the ‘Extended, Unrated, Recut’ version.
That Yellow Bastard has Hartigan being taken to hospital.
Hartigan being talked to at hospital by his wife, attorney, cops and nurse.
Hartigan calling Lucille while in prison.
Extra dialogue from Shlubb and Klump about the Ferrari as a heist vehicle.
The Hard Goodbye has Marv getting Gladys.
Marv telling Weevil to spread a rumour around town.
The Big Fat Kill has extra dialogue in Shellie’s apartment.
Extra dialogue with Jackie Boy and crew driving around in Old Town.
Extra dialogue with Jackie Boy and Dwight in the car driving to the Pits.
Miho kills Manute and some henchmen in the Alleyway.
I also added ‘Extended Theatrical Edit’ to the title card and ‘Recut by Dregs’ at the end of the intro credits.
Additional Notes:
In my first edits of this I had the talking scenes to Hartigan in the hospital in the same order as the ‘Extended, Unrated, Recut’ version (Wife, Attorney, Cops, Nurse, Roark, Nancy). But I was recently re-reading Sin City and Roark speaks to Hartigan first, not his wife. So I’ve just made that change to reflect to GN.
(I plan to make a 5.1 audio track in the future)
