Hey guys! We all know how Universal Studios had Best Brains re-edit and reshoot the movie, losing riffs and host segments in the process. Ever since I saw the deleted scenes on the Shout! Factory Blu-ray, I wanted to re-insert them in the movie.
Although little could be done to improve the picture quality of the host segments, the deleted scenes where Mike, Tom and Crow riff THIS ISLAND EARTH could be enhanced by keeping their jokes but replacing the picture with the original un-riffed film.
I then added the silhouettes back, taken from when Mike and the bots riff their own closing credits.
To help make the transitions with my reconstructed scenes seamless, I color-corrected the footage of THIS ISLAND EARTH to make it match its surroundings better. A friend of mine also rotoscoped the theater door for scenes where M&TB enter or leave the theater.
Since the deleted scenes included alternate versions of riffs, I included 2 audio tracks:
AUDIO 1 : original riffs from the deleted scenes
AUDIO 2 : re-dubbed riffs from the theatrical release
Finally, I re-ordered some scenes to accommodate the 3rd added host segment, based on their original placement.
