Had a little spending spree

High Crime is missing ten minutes from the ending. Just saying.

The Studio Canal version shows the drug courier landing at the airport, hopping into a car, then we hear the line “to the port” and then the film immediately cuts to the end credits against the port background. The climax, where the plot is wrapped and several seminal characters are killed, is missing entirely. All the footage from the port is missing, the last scene at Fernando Rey’s house is missing, and neither the original nor the alternate ending are featured in this version. It just ends in the middle of everything without any kind of wrap up or “closing shot”.

I absolutely cannot comprehend how this 93 min version came to be. It doesn’t feel like an alternative version or shortened version, but rather a faulty version where the last film reel was omitted by accident. The ending is just incredibly awkward here.

Antichrist is great by the way. I upgraded my dvd to that very same Blu-ray before Christmas. Also got Blazing Magnums too but never seen it yet.

I have a sour taste now that I know High Crime is missing such a big scene is there a release anywhere with the full film?

It would appear that yer best bet is the 2021 FilmArt release from Germany

According to DVD Compare it contains two versions of the film - 'the original version and a version with an alternate ending', it is uncut and has an English soundtrack (although the subtitles are only available in German)

Went to see the guy about the films, he said tbh there more around 14000, films, and he closing shop because of the council, and he been in the job for over 25yrs, council are closing all town hall shop and making them go outside onto stalls, anyhow I couldn't go ahead buying them because my friend who was going to half me has lost his job because their laying ppl of at his firm, and we are finishing early because we gone slack and slow. Losing 8hrs a week, equivalent to a days work,
Anyhow his last day was yesterday and today was packing them into boxes and on trays etc, so I had a very very quick scan at some only had half hr by the time I finished work and got over there, here is what I bought, I paid £30 for all lot, I pointed out some from the pics mainly shameless ones, he said there in his lock up, there about another 10, he going to ring me at the weekend when he dug them out, and all these are included in the price as well.

I recently bought the new version of that L&H box set which houses all 21 discs in one of those big fat single boxes and that was £25 so for that alone you got a bargain.
