There are some interesting scenes put back into this extended version, but as a film it is far inferior to the original Lynch version. The additional materials has been edited in amateurishly, with a laughably cheesy narration threaded throughout the film, and a spectacularly B-movie style intro composed of hastily cut-together still paintings (replacing the already-cheesy Princess Irulan intro from the original). Watch the original first, so that you can appreciate the visionary elements of Lynch’s work, then watch this to fill in some of the gaps.

A really good war movie from 1978. Not just guns and action, it has a strong political subtext about African politics of that period, which is still relevant to the present day. With a stellar cast of Richard Burton, Richard Harris and Roger Moore.
