Azumi: Director's Cut vs International Cut
Posted: 22 Mar 2006, 11:39
SPOILERS
1. Missing dialogue after the first mission
2. Mission briefing has been deleted. Instead a voice-over can be heard in the next scene (effectively ruining the use of music)
3. Several differences in the first big action scene in the forest.
- Missing footage of a frightened soldier
- Missing some action (Azumi killing enemies)
- Missing more action (Azumi leaps over Kanbei to dodge bullets )
- Deleting footage of Lord Kiyomasa preparing for fight
- All this leads to problems with soundtrack (music doesn’t match with the action as it should)
4. Sasaki brothers introduction scene is missing some dialogue. This dialogue is referred later in the movie, which makes the latter scene less fun.
5. Missing a scene where Azumi, Hyuga and Nagara go looking for the street performers.
6. Missing a scene where Amagi tries to convince he can still carry over the mission.
7. The ninja fight is missing some footage.
8. The scene where the old master and Ukiha are ambushed in the village is missing lots of action (including Ukiha fighting Saru) and some dialogue between Lord Kiyomasa and Kanbei.
9. Missing a dream sequence.
10. Missing a scene where Kanbei tells the old master how their fight would've been more fun if he wasn’t injured.
11. Bijomaru threatening Saru has been deleted
12. Missing a dream-like sequence of Azumi with her old team mates.
13. Missing a scene of a villain running away after the final battle.
