Yar, you be here: Cops and Robbers > Customer Reviews Cops and Robbers Customer Reviews (1 - 3 of 3 Reviews)Good Movie, Zilch Video
Two New York City cops have had enough of the 'system' and decide on a high level robbery. This theme is presented in a somewhat light hearted manner along with interesting photography of the work-a-day person life. With the video (and current tv version) the story line is still there. But apparently the plodding nature of the film prompted cutting and editing by someone who had little sense of the feeling and flow of the movie. Many scenes have been awkwardly shortened, remixed or completely removed. Hopefully an original copy still exists on the premium cable channels. Such a Shame...
This is one of my all-time favorite films. I waited years and years for it to come out in video, only to find out that the VHS version was the same version that had been unmercifully edited for commercial TV. I agree with the disappointment expressed by a previous reviewer, and can only hope that the complete version (with its exquisite ending) will be included if and when it comes out on DVD. That would be worth five stars to me! Insult to Injury
ON TOP of the 2 previous reviews about cut scenes,awkward edits ad nauseum of this classic movie, this VHS version is also SPED UP!! This is an outrage.Now the rocket scientists a UA feel that we should have a movie that we paid for shortened not only by edits but by speed.Cliff Gorman sounds like Mickey Mouse in some scenes.Even the ending was butchered.Why are these people in charge of production? I know the attention span of most Americans is about 5 minutes,however I want what I paid for!
