Has anybody seen the new souped-up version of "Metropolis" yet?
This one supposedly is in color and has a rock music score.
Thank you,

Yes and it's pretty good. I wouldn't say they added full color --- just
some scenes are "tinted". The music helped alot (although the lyrics get
corny now and then). The subtitles have been redone and some footage
which was cut out of the original flick for America has been spliced back
in. This makes the film alot easier to follow.

Several years ago, I first saw Metropolis at the FOX Venice
( or was it the Nuart?) in L.A.. I was very impressed by both
the movie and the soundtrack. Later I purchased a copy of the
videotape, and was disapointed to find that the soundtrack was
different. Now I find there is a new soundtrack. Personally, I
prefer the first one I heard, which was primarily piano and sax,
a kind of Industrial Jazz that fit the visuals well, and appeared
to be composed specifically for the film. The videotape had an
orchestral piece that also was composed for the film, but I thought
it was awful. Does anyone know: 1. what the jazz version music was, or
2. where a video copy of the film with this soundtrack might be obtained?
