Johnny Mnemonic
Comparison:
International Version
Japanese Extended Version
Release: Jul 27, 2010 - Author: Glogcke - Translator: Habek - external link: IMDB
The cyberspace action movie "Johnny Mnemonic" is one of those films whose budget you can not really see in the film. Maybe, the budget was used for the well-known actors and therefore there was only enough money for making a B-movie-like film in the end. - Keanu Reeves, Dina Meyer, Ice-T, Dolph Lundgren, Udo Kier and Takeshi Kitano who is popular in Japan have important roles. Because of Takeshi Kitano's role, there was a different edition released in Japanese cinemas and DVD-shops than in other countries. But there have not only been added new scenes, instead the original version seemingly was used for another version in Japan. The difficulty of Johnny willing to get back his memory is less important her. Instead the film focusses on Takeshi Kitano's ambivalent character. Due to the different version and the fact that the japanese edition is much longer, there are several other advanced scenes or new scenes included. Also, there has probably been some pre-censorship in the US to get an R-Rating in the cinemas. At least, there have been cuts in 2 scenes, since they original version was used in Japan and not only has the international edition been enlarged, but the scenes mentioned have also been included here. That has been marked for readers who are interested only in a specific edition.
Due to the specific edition, there are many uninteresting cuts. There is one shot longer and then another. Many scenes have been completely changed, therefore a 1:1 comparison is not really possible. - Those scenes are mentioned, but since nobody will be interested in that, there is not too much written about them. Changes of content are mentioned of course.
There is also a different soundtrack in the Japanese Edition. Rock music and more complex film music have been used in this edition. In the Normal Edition, you often hear keyboard tones that are probably there to create a huge atmosphere. Because of the Rock used in the OST, the music has a rather rapid effect. - The soundtrack is not mentioned often in this comparison.
In the end, there is the question whether the enlarged japanese edition makes the film any better? Indeed, the new action and the changed soundtrack make the film a bit better. But you can say: If you also disliked the film before, the japanese edition won't have a really huge impact on your view of the film. But if you liked the film, you should definitely take a look at the Japanese Edition, since it is simply better than the International Edition.
In this comparison, the Japanese laser disc edition by Emotion has been used. Having the longer edition on the Japanese DVD is probable, but not self-evident. Because of problems with the master disc, the American DVD-release might also be used. Sadly, we did not have the Japanese DVD but we think that it will also contain the longer edition.
Nevertheless, if you want to buy the three DVD mentioned above, you will have to pay through your nose: The DVD will cost 50-60 dollars without mailing expenses und there is not even a DD 5.1 sound, but instead english DD. 2.0 Surround. But after all, the japanese DVD is regional code 2.
For this comparison ,the hinternational Theatrical Edition and the Japanese edition on the laser disc by Emotion have been used.
The time measurement goes after the international DVD.
Due tue the cuts and the use of alternative material you cannot really tell how long the cuts are all together, but if you ignore that problem, you have the following:
