Conceptual improvements/advancements of edit over original: I have loved “The Phantom of the Opera” ever since I was a little boy. Seen the Broadway Show twice, read the original book more then once, seen/own the original 1925 & 1929 black and white movie, seen/own the MGM movie with Robert Englund, and of course own Andrew Lloyd Webber’s movie version. When I bought the DVD and found that they had not included the deleted scene, which was written just for the movie, I had always wanted to add it. Also, I always thought that the Enter’Acte should have been in there. So there you go…

Pauley, you must have walked out of the room, because the Enter’Acte from the show IS in the movie (most of it, anyway)…you hear it right before “Masquerade” when the gala is beginning and the fireworks are going off over the Opera House (this is immediately after the Phantom is on the rooftop singing his last lines in “All I Ask Of You”). Enter’Acte is definitely in the movie.

….and I finally just got around to downloading this, and this was a big mistake, Pauley. Not only IS the Entr’Acte part of the movie as I previously described, but you reinserted the “No One Would Listen” deleted song into the WRONG place in the movie. This is the info I read here and there online as to where it originally was placed in the film:
“I read that it was supposed to be after the masquerade scene, immediately after Madame Giry tells her story. It was supposed to add more depth to the phantom’s love of Christine and make him a more sympathetic character, but the director felt that it slowed down the action too much and cut it out of the movie. If it hadn’t been cut out it would have been after the story of how he came to the opera house. If you look closely you can see that draped over the back of the chair he sits in is his RED DEATH costume and if you look close enough on the desk that holds the DON JUAN set box, there is the RED DEATH mask.”
This was a bad boo-boo edit, I’m afraid.

I am an extended edition buff and have a big collection of original ones and all the fanedits from here.
Many extended editions do not add anything to the movie, just add more useless scenes. I will rate the ones here.
