Legend

[JN News]

Has anyone here seen this movie with Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, & Tim Curry? I loved the old VHS version. But the DVD sucked ass because of the fact that they left out "Loved By The Sun" by Tangerine Dream. The only good thing about the DVD version was the music video, "Is Your Love Strong Enough" by Bryan Ferry as a special feature.

Also, can anyone tell me anything about the Blu-ray version of this movie? I'm thinking about buying it off Amazon, but I don't want to make the same mistake when my mother bought me the DVD version of this movie.

I'm not really into fantasy much but there's something about 80s fantasy that I love. The production values were more creative before everything was CGIed to hell. It's not one of Ridley Scott's best but this, Labyrinth, and Willow are the premiere of that era (not a huge Dark Crystal guy).

The amount of times I’ve seen this movie for a movie I’m not particularly a fan of is quite high.

It’s a forgotten Cruise gem tho, nestled between his breakout roles and his majors, it’s a weird marker of time.

I got the Legend Blu-ray for my 43rd birthday from my twin sister on Friday, November 15th, and the Theatrical cut was just the version that I had been looking forever for the past decade. It's just like the VHS releases, only better.

Bumped for reasons of a question.

We all know that Tim Curry played the villain in this movie. Of course, he's a natural at playing villain roles. But my question is this. He plays the role of "Darkness". He looks more like Satan. He even seems to be portraying as if he's actually Satan. Does anyone here know why he's called, "Darkness" instead of Satan? He basically portrays The Devil. But why is he Darkness instead of Satan? Thanks in advance.

It's a PG rated film.

Rights issues. It's like how Jordan wasn't in NBA Jam.

Good point. Now that I realize it, we can't really blame them if any mentions of Satan would be deemed inappropriate for children. The MPAA wouldn't be able to afford any form of backlash of any kind from anyone.
