Ok, so just watched Endgame... Some notes.
When did Duncan decide to all of the sudden suck and unlearn all his fighting skills and tactics against Kell?
Kell was horrible at sword fighting and fighting. Making Duncan an even bigger wuss.
Kell wore 10x the makeup Faith/Kate did. SCARY!
Forgot how hot Faith/Kate really is.
Connor martyring himself to Duncan makes him even more cool than he already was.
Kinda mad that the Flock all have persona cards, because they all sucked (except Jin Ke)
Just some rambling re-watching 14 yrs later.

All of the above is true, BUT, the fight scene between Duncan and the Flock, especially Donnie Yen, holds up well.

Faith getting naked holds up well also. Yes I went there, big surprise?

I wish the DVD release had both the original cut and the Director's Cut.

The copy I have contains both. I didn't know there were 2 different DVD's. Is there a BluRay edition?

You DO realize this was from the folks that brought us the Planet Ziest and the %*^@tards Corda and Reno? It could have been worse, but after the classic first film it all went tragically downhill. Although the 3rd film was quite better than the 2nd. I don't think Kell was bad at swordfighting, he had his lickspittles, err Flock, do his killing for a century. Just don't accept a dinner invite from him.

Mine has the Director's cut and an alternate cut (with some un-polished scenes), but not the theatrical cut.

I think that's the version I have, but I'll message you a scan. I seem to recall Lisa B (Faith) getting naked in the version I saw at the theatre, but I don't remember which ending they used. When it ran on The Movie Channel last year 3-4 times a week, they showed DMac walking away from the graves and did the fade to black. I prefer the Duncan/Faith tongue hockey ending. I was just mad they do not, in any version of the film I've seen, use Methos's deleted scenes or Kell's Illusions.

The original version has the Sanctuary being on Holy Ground, too. I saw it in the theatre only once and was never able to see that version again. I preferred the old ending because it made Faith be Kell's 666th immortal kill, the subtext being that Kell was trying to hit 666 before he killed Connor. But with the new ending, it makes his plan for Connor to be 666 instead.

I appear to be having trouble attaching the picture, but it's the general release dvd that had 2 versions of the film. And thinking back, the Watchers must have been really poor at the time. I recall they were using World War 2 vintage machine guns. Guess they couldn't afford an Uzi. In the Movie Channel version they didn't show Jin Ke walking into his sword, just the after image of his blade sticking in the wall. The film could have been sooooo much better, even with a small budget. Also I'm pretty sure Jin Ke could have taken out Kell, but he didn't even try.

I was looking for the theatrical version myself at one point, I don't think it exists on dvd. I have two different releases of the dvd -- one is the 2 disc set that says "all new ending" other other is a single disc that doesn't mention the alternate ending, and they're both the director's cut.
