This fanedit definitely improves the narrative, especially the sequel’s terrible pacing. It makes it a better version than the 2 original films.
Also, as long as the viewer remembers the 2 original films, the non-chronological narrative here works fine. I’m not sure that it would work on a first viewing, though.
I didn’t like the many “Chapter” title cards. This is a film, and although it makes sense for some films to have “Acts” or “Parts” title cards (also not a huge fan of these), having more than 20 title cards is way too much, they’re just cluttering the screen space all the time. Also, many times the text appears in the middle of a scene (instead of at the beginning), that’s a big no-no.
Sidenote: this city (even though it’s small) never did even a bit of sewer maintenance for more than 100 years? If they had, hey would’ve found all that’s down there. I don’t believe the water would still flow if the sewers were to be left to crumble.
