10 Movies That Have Special Editions Worse Than Star Wars

10. Sin City: Recut, Unrated, Extended

While it certainly wasn't helped by having fewer, less interesting stories, what really stopped Sin City: A Dame To Kill For from living up to the 2005 original was the narrative structure. Like a Russian Doll, A Dame To Kill For begins its stories in the first half, then concludes them in reserve order in the second. While characters do pop up in various ones, the whole thing feels a bit disjointed. The first film felt like it was intended to be told in this order, whereas the sequel was cobbled together (which is kinda true). A special edition of the first film for the DVD serves as proof of how much of an impact the narrative has on the film's quality. As well as adding in eighteen minutes of previously deleted footage, Recut, Unrated, Extended reedits the sequence of events to present the different yarns as individual short stories. It's intriguing, but robs the film of feeling like a definitive, complete package. The Yellow Bastard segments in particular don't work too well running straight through; just like Hartigan and Nancy we need to have felt time pass since Roark Junior's first attack.
