The theatrical cut of City of Angels felt like a poor knock off of the original. This edit does an excellent job of restoring a better, more unique plot, The inserted scenes and stills certainly stand out, but they’re paced well and never felt like they could have been done better given the sources. Given how aggressively DCP had to rework things I’m impressed it flows as well as it does, and I heartily recommend it to anyone who’s a fan of the series.

I saw this film a long time ago only once and I remember hating it. It was basically a clumsy remake of the terrific Brandon Lee film. After seeing Cecil's Good Bad Flicks video about the film's troubled post production and how it was meant to be something completely different, I've been searching for a fanedit that would try to cobble together what the film was intended to be.
I have to say editor DCP really made some magic here. Although there are several scenes missing, he was able to recreate the missing bits with stills and music and well, the film is there. Vincent Perez and Mia Kirshner were great and had terrific chemistry. No wonder they went on to make great films after this. And I'd forgotten what a terrific soundtrack this film has. I heard Tim Pope saw and approved this edit and congratulated DCP for his work, and I can't think of a better achievement for a faneditor. Congrats!

This is a lotbetter than the very weak original. It’s still not great, but you managed to make it a movie that did not bore the crap out of me.
