(Another question for those who have seen the extended cut)
Was “the film print” you saw completely devoid of the scratchy, jumpy cuts?
Reason why I ask was because the Grindhouse version we (Americans) saw featured a “deteriorated/chopped” print which included the missing reel,multiple scratches/jumps,etc.
I only remember about 4 cuts. As followed:
#1-The opening song, “The Last Race”, isn’t played in it’s entirety. Rather than a fade-out, it’s abruptly cut during the credits.
#2-The girls who scream in joy at Julia’s billboards from a distance quickly vanish thanks to the jump cut. Mike then drives into the frame and replaces them.
#3-At the cafe, dialogue is repeated from one of the characters from a different camera angle.
#4-(Towards the end of the movie) There’s a very brief black-out-then-cut to Zoe climbing out the car window to do the stunt. (I’m sure this was QT’s nod to distributed-film owners who quickly wanted to cut to the action for their film print)
Was all the above presented in the extended cut? Any new ones?
