Product: Chiefs [Region 2] (1983)
Rating: 1.0
Bad Chop Job
"Chiefs" is a made for TV mini series that runs about 4-1/2 hours without commercials. I was hoping to replace my damaged VHS tape copy with a DVD copy. I was greatly disappointed in this copy as it is badly butchered. Not only was it cut down with many segments chopped or eliminated, the editing was a horrible job. It's as though a 5 year old with scissors was turned loose. There are cuts in the middle of scenes, one even in the middle of a conversation. Portions were removed such that some of the subsequent story made no sense, or did not portray the same message as would have come across if the film had been left in its original length.PS if anyone knows of a full length copy out there I'd love to hear about it.
