this was the original film

Warning: Spoilers
I'm not sure why so many people on all sorts of different sites keep claiming this is some sort of hodge-podge thrown together after the "original" this is the original ... it was even spotlighted on entertainment tonight ... yrs ago ... they showed the scene where ron complains about the font during their preview of the film and then interviewed Christina about working with will this movie was screened for test audiences and bombed ... i mean - its in the Voice-over at the beginning of the film ... they tell you right up front what this movie truly is ... the original that bombed ... they then took the bits that worked ... the romance between ron and veronica ... the breakdown of the gang when ron spends more time with veronica ... the "bond" that champ has with ron its a totally separate and original film - and i really think it does a better job of capturing the 70s news vibe ... less silliness - the gang fight - the flute solo - baxter getting punted - those are all very funny ... but got away from what the title claimed to be i know its not fitzcarraldo - but i think there's a better story in this version
