Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid: Extended
by Leonenut
What is it about? The 2005 cut of this film was a travesty and deleted many great sequences, but added some really good scenes and shots in the process. These scenes were added back to the longer and better Turner Preview version.

additional information:
- This DVD was re-authored by boon23 with all new menus and cover art to even improve on the impact of this fanedit. Enjoy.
- Also it should be noted that the original version by Leonenut is DUAL LAYER and is available as such on the newsgroups. Boon23 found the length of video and the small audio track sufficient for a high quality shrink with DVD Rebuilder 7-pass. This is probably the best SL version of this you will ever get. A difference to the DL should be hardly noticeable, but of course the video was re-encoded.

I watched your edit and it plays great. I haven’t seen the movie for a while (bought the new 2-disc set but didn’t opened it yet), and the only addon I could see is the wife scene, due to the difference in color timing.
That would be interesting if you could find a VHS of the original edit, to reconstruct it in 16/9 / widescreen using both DVDs. I’m not sure what edit I prefer, I haven’t seen the new one yet (people told me not to see it, I just got the DVD set for the 2nd disc and have the LD anyway), and to what extent the original TC violate the movie (I had seen this one way back on VHS). If purists goes that the TC is bad, it probably means it’s the best version ever made ! I mean the director’s cut great, but plays a bit slow at many times. And I heard the new cut borrowed a lot from the TC.

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.
Rating criteria: image quality, sound quality, 3x improvement, overall.
Image Quality: 9 of 10
Sound Quality: 9 of 10
Improvement: 2 of 10
Overall: 5 of 10

I enjoyed this very much after my disappointment with the 2 Disc special edition.
Leonenut, unlike Seydor, respects Peckinpah’s vision and gives us the most complete and honest version of Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid available.
I am glad the most moving and memorable moment in the movie, Slim Pickens’ death scene has retained the original Bob Dylan score. It surprised me that Seydor used the vocal version in the 2005 version because Peckinpah was clear as to why he did not want to use it.
The image and audio quality of the DVD is great. I only noticed one small unsyncopated audio transition, which is hardly noticeable. BUT there is one big nasty cut towards the end of the movie where the beginning of a line is cut (Pat & Co approach Sumner). It is a shame that this one mistake comes so late in the picture because all before it had been perfect.
Still very recommended if you wish to see a version as close to the one Peckinpah himself showed for his friends at home.
