My region friendly US bd has both director's cut and US theatrical viewing options. With different soundtracks - Jerry Goldsmith on one version and Tangerine Dream on the other. I always opt for the longer cut of the film but do love the Tangerine Dream music (I even own it on cd), is amazing that the TD music was supposedly created in just 3 weeks.
One odd thing about the Goldsmith score is that it uses exactly the same music as a Psycho II main theme at one point. I guess that since his music was initially rejected, Jerry thought that it was safe to reuse. Film score - 7.5/10. |
I have the American and the UK discs so I have the short cut and the long cut with the Goldsmith score and the short cut with the TD score but i'll only ever watch the TD version because THAT's Legend for me.
