You are our last chance! we can't see NTSC in Europe, I don't understand German as it is Germany the only country of the continent where they sell it! I don't even understand English enough not to miss a very important part of the dialogues! I need subtitles! We Know you won't fail us. Besides, if I am wrong, don't you think that we, the bunch of fans of your movie are not buying it the very day of release, even if we already have it from the internet? I have been looking for your movie for seven years, since the first time, which was the last time, I saw it on TV. Digitalize it WITH the Leland Crooke beginning and hang it on the web. Mr Beaird, if you ever read these pages be merciful. Maybe only if mister Beaird makes a major hit movie and becomes a major selling director some greedy executive will think about making a DVD of it: "Scorchers, from the director of Beyond The Limits of the Limits" and, maybe only in this one case, greed will become something to be grateful of. Scorchers is a wonderful movie but I am afraid we won't watch it again as it doesn't seem the producers are going to commercialize it on DVD. If you haven't seen the Europe version of the movie you have missed something really great and special: a five minutes speech of Leland Crooke looking directly to the camera during a long and slow traveling in one single take in which he scratches the surface of magic. Mahler's music is in romantic contrast with the zesty country rhythms of the Scorchers county.
On the whole, this film can be interpreted as an excellent essay about love of life and a fight for both of them in the lines of a great calling that everyone should seek. Love and talent for sale - Faye Dunaway is at her best! Vision of art as a miracle, something that escapes your grasp - Denholm Elliott and James Earl Jones should have got and Oscar for their dialogues and dancing :-) And finally, there is that great theme of life and death, justifying and reconciling both over the smoky waters of the Yellow River. Look how much there is to look out for: Love and lust - what a great tragic comedy in the lines of Emily Lloyd and Jennifer Tilly. To enjoy the action of the film watch it a few times, and pay attention to the tiniest details and motives of the narration. This is an excellent film and a must see when you are still in your early twenties! The roles played by a cast of excellent actors represent not so much traditional characters but rather TYPES leaving in this small Louisiana town.
