Why bankers make poor filmmakers...
4 August 2000
I heartily agree with those who feel that H2: The Sickening is one of the worst films ever made. I saw it in the theatre in it's initial run and was absolutely appalled. My friends and I left the show saying, in our worst Christopher Lambert voices "There Can Beeee Only Waaaan!" Anyway, I recently bit the bullet and watched the "Renegade" version and was very surprised at how good it actually was! There is now a coherent story, the flying wires have been hidden (for the most part), and it has a good ending! Along with the film is a short documentary about what happened to the film. Seems that the producers' idea to shoot in Argentina "went south" financially and the film was taken from the the creators and given to the Completion Bond company to finish. To paraphrase Erich Von Stroheim, "the man who cut that film had nothing on his mind but a hat." So, be brave--give H2 another chance--you might just like it.
