Comparing the Cuts: Legend (1985) – Iconicon Special

Ridley Scott's Legend (1985) was a difficult production that resulted in two very different theatrical releases: one for the U.S. audience with music by Tangerine Dream and one for the European audience with music by Jerry Goldsmith. In this exclusive premiere for Iconicon, Melinda Mock of RetroBlasting and Conrad Chambers of Movie Oubliette examine the differences between the two cuts, and discuss their experience of growing up in the 80s on opposite sides of pond loving very different versions of the same movie.
