the Tangerine Dream score is what i grew up on, so thats what i hear when i see this movie.

Even in that big costume, you can see Tim Curry strut. Lol

This movie is such an 80s classic.

Tim Curry is the best devil. This may be my favorite role of his. The costume department also swung hard on that costume.

I haven't seen many people react to this gem.

The 80s was a golden age of fantasy cinema.
Especially dark fantasy.

never forget the first time i saw Darkness as a kid i instantly fell in love with the design and effects.  such an incredible look that still holds up : D

The Director's Cut has a much longer transformation scene, it also is more quest-like in structure - Jack has to guess a riddle, as well as outsmart Mucklebones Meg.

While there are additional scenes in this version, the biggest difference between the Director's Cut and the American/Tangerine Dream Cut is that Lily's singing is part of the plot in this version. The reason Jack is able to guess Gump's riddle is because Lily was singing about it earlier. Well, Tangerine Dream's score didn't mesh at all with Lily's singing so every scene that involved her singing had to be cut.

This entire movie came about because Ridley Scott became obsessed with wanting to do a fantasy film. (In fact, a lot of decisions regarding this movie from him seemed to be born out of crazed obsessions he momentarily got from time to time.) So he basically hired the writer who did the film to give him a fantasy script with three requirements: (1) a hero named Jack, (2) a villain named Darkness, and (3) "the fastest steeds".

The script that was turned in would have been closer in scope to one of the LOTR movies than the end product; and would have involved Jack battling a dragon and giant spiders, Lily turning into a cat monster and siding with Darkness (including sleeping with him), and culminating in a massive battle between a literal "army of Darkness" and an army of fae. This was the script that "sold" the producers although they wanted massive cuts due to the budget required, and the ensuing script editors cut it down further eventually to its current version. Ironically, Lily turning into a cat monster was one of the last things to go. Even the early storyboards still had it.

CLASSIC! Tim Curry killed it with the voice and makeup as the devil

In the directors cut and the European cut Jack is “the man in the green.” An immortal Forrest spirit. So he couldn’t marry Lilly, because she’s a human princess. In the US version he’s just a man and walks off with Lilly at the end.

I think David Bennent did an ~amazing~ job acting acting as a child in the Gump role.
And the Slo-Mo drug effect in Dredd(2012) always makes me think of this movie.  Just beautiful.

Great movie and another great way to remember Tim Curries career

What stayed with me about this movie was it was beautiful in the theater.

May this movie catch like wildfire in the reaction channels.  Thanks for being the ones to start.

One of my favorite childhood movies, I'm so glad you checked it out in all it's glittery glory!

If you haven’t seen Fern Gully…Tim Curry plays another great big bad and we are blessed with comedic relief from Robin Williams.

This movie and 1983's THE HUNGER with David Bowie, Catherine Deneuve & Susan Sarandon are two I love doing a double feature of at my house.
Thank you for another awesome review. It was so great and the editing has been tight.

You could say she... Danced with the devil by the bright sunlight.
