![]() Granted, Stan Lee and Marvel Studios are not fans of the cult favorite. It is also the all-time greatest live-action retelling of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm's forays into superheroing, and it is the subject of a new documentary showing at Comic-Con in San Diego this week, DOOMED!: The Untold Story of Roger Corman's Fantastic Four. Dr Doom's voice is different in both version.A Fantastic Four movie produced by legendary B-movie maven Roger Corman from the early '90s was made for $1.5 million at most, shot in three weeks, only exists because a studio executive was scrambling to meet a contractual deadline, and no one has ever seen it without breaking the law.In the Hong Kong release, he actually gets down on one knee for real In the UK version, he bends down on one knee by stretching himself, whilst maintaining eye contact with Sue. Reed's proposal to Sue is also different.However, he is not present in the Hong Kong version and The Thing seems to defeat Doom by himself During the final confrontation in the UK release as The Thing uses his foot to direct water at Dr Doom, Mr Fantastic helps by using his powers to direct the water from the fire hydrant onto Dr Doom.The words "A little heat?" do not appear, but are in the UK edition Dr Doom's line as he emerges from the fire is cut short in the Hong Kong release.When Dr Doom is engulfed in the fire at the end, his yell has him emitting a fiery breath in the Hong Kong release but this effects is missing from the UK edition.Dr Doom saying "Goodbye, Ben" is missing from the final fight scene in the Hong Kong release, but present in the UK edition.The Hong Kong version loses this scene and replaces it with one where the two are seen in a planetarium, whereby the scene ends rather abruptly before the pair kiss Reed and Sue rekindling their romance is shown in a scene with the pair walking and talking, with the Statue of Liberty in the background.There are reports of the Canadian version being affected also. For example, the UK release has scenes, dialogue and effects shots different to the Hong Kong, French and German versions. In the US/UK a modified version was released on DVD. ![]()
