Movie gets bad reviews and loses money. Somebody buys the rights to it, edits it ...

[Boojatta]

adds some new scenes to it, and distributes the revised version. Can you name such a movie?

4. What's Up Tigerlily?

Or, the whole genre of Science Fiction 3000?

[Frank Cannon]

7. Good one.

What's Up Tiger Lily was going to be my choice, but you beat me to it.

No one can salvage that POS.

8. Here's a typical example of the genre. Planeta Bur.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planeta_Bur

Russian space opera, brought back to life twice on the American screen. If you've seen "Voyage to the Planet of the Prehistoric Women" you've also seen Planeta Bur. Planeta Bur has no blonde beauties (example: Mamie Van Doren) lolling about the beach. But wait, if you've seen "Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet" you've also seen Planeta Bur. This time with a very elderly Basil Rathbone.

"Planet of the Prehistoric Women" takes place in the far future world of 1998. It is pitiful and amusing all at once. :)

9. Planet 9 from Outer Space

sorta fits the bill.

[Charlemagne]

10. I wish

It were the Star Wars prequels. My goodness those things were terrible.

There was the Phantom Edit.


But yuck, Lucas.

11. Dune. the David Lynch director's version.

[Lasher]

14. Rocky Horror Picture Show?

15. That's probably the future of all movies...

Instead of making so many new movies, the industry will remix old movies, synthesizing entirely new scenes and dialog using computer animation, similar to the way music is remixed and remade from original sources.

"Remakes" of movies will actually be remade using computer models derived from the original footage and "starring" the original actors. Movie purists and historians will of course be horrified.

But few people will be upset if Jar Jar Binks was transformed into an interesting character rather than an annoying one, or Anakin Skywalker somehow achieves the kind of super-human charisma that would explain his relationship with Padmé Amidala.
