Universal came into conflict with Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert during the arduous post-production of "Darkman" (1990), which saw extensive editing and poor preview scores. Initial cuts of the movie by editor David Stiven performed poorly. Stiven was so befuddled that he wanted to cut 'Darkman' into a romance... show more

36 years ago, not 46.

Haha, yes... Just saw.. my mistake... Apologies!

So many great scenes in that movie. Need an extended edition now

“Darkman” is brutal, but worth a watch… especially if you’re a Raimi fan!

Math is hard

I can’t imagine not lyoving this movie.

online people think studio filmmaking is like a painter applying delicate brush strokes to a canvas. more like that painter is thrown into the back of a Uhaul with a dozen farm animals and must paint a masterpiece in 30 mins while they're driving down a bumpy offroad trail.

To this day I still say "Take the fucking elephant" if I'm impatient with a friend not choosing something.

Haven't seen it since it came out, but I remember it as an entertainingly over-the-top comic-book movie.

Also the main villain was up to that point known for playing a retard on Law and Order

That was back in the days when I went to see pretty much every film released. I had no particular expectations but liked it quite a bit.

46 years ago?

Not a perfect movie, but it had its moments. The villain who was supposed to be terrifying looked like a dork who got wedgies before he was stuffed in a locker in high school.

The fuck you mean 46

what was the original cut length before the previews

Forgot Jenny Agutter was in this

I didn’t know this. I thought the film was great and amazing. Also, I doubt Rami is ima position anymore to not approve an edit of his films

I loved it, had so many memorable shots, scenes and sounds.

We watched it often when we were growing up.

I love this movie

Its such a terrible film really. And Liam Neeson isn't really a very good Actor.

Black man

So the special edition Blu-ray has what - sixteen different cuts?

This has always been my favorite bad movie.

It was one of the dullest movies I’d seen up to that point. Terminally shitty.

So did Rami like the final cut even though he didn't have approval?

Luke Greenfield on why "The Girl Next Door" (2004) failed at the Box Office: "The Studio executives were expecting something the realm of 'American Pie' (1999) didn't know how to explain to them that it was going to be a lot more real and a lot more edgy and a lot more volatile and unpredictable. I kept saying that, and I don't think they understood it until they saw my director's cut." Greenfield's director's cut was met with mixed reactions from executives because of its adu!t content and dangerous situations. When they got to scenes such as Timothy Olyphant beating the sh!t out of Emile Hirsch and bloodying his face, I remember one of the studio people saying, 'Okay, this is f**king not 'American Pie'. We were really lucky [with the test audience]. We tested the director's cut, and it tested enormously high. So high, in fact, that hardly any changes were made. Arnon Milchon [the head of New Regency] and Tom Rothman, they were literally telling me it was a guaranteed hit. The movie was going to make so much money that it was going to be Arnon Milchon's next 'Pretty Woman' (1990). It was going to hit every demographic. Everyone was talking such an enormous game. Our movie, there was such a challenge, because we're at 20th Century Fox, which at the time was a very conservative studio. The idea that they had to go out there and sell an R-rated movie about teenagers and about a kid falling in love with a p0rn star? They tried. They spent money. They didn't know how to do it. I got in there and I was trying to cut trailers too. We had worked with some of the best trailer editors. In the end, what's really funny is that -- everyone knows this, no one is at fault -- the marketing destroyed the movie. Two weeks prior to coming out, we were tracking that the people who wanted to see the movie were 14 year old girls, The young males, 18 to 30, wanted nothing to do with the film. They thought it looked cheesy and stupid. Never in a million years were they going to see it. I cannot say I was not disappointed when the movie came out. It was a big marketing challenge and they couldn't reach that audience." ("The Juice Was Worth The Squeeze: Looking Back On 'The Girl Next Door'", Christopher Rosen, Huff Post, 2014)
