After years of watching The NeverEnding Story, I had become well accustomed to knowing when Gmork will appear on screen and what he will do. In other words, I was used to it and not scared of him anymore. But then watching this version for the first time and seeing a shot at 1:28 of Gmork that I had never seen before, I felt like "GASP!!! IT'S GMORK! HE'S BACK! HE'S STILL THERE. WHAT'S HE GONNA DO??" My fears were reawakened.

Violent Rainbow I mean, let's give early 80s practical effects a break, hm? Sure, some shots of the wolf look silly by modern standards, but it still holds up better than shitty CG would (and that technology was still on the horizon when this film was made).
@@heed-shot4971 Love that theme, use to play it on the keyboard. I wish they would make a direct sequel to the first one that ignores all the other ones and adapt the score from both versions. This music would be perfect if Ygramul showed up.
@@TothanCrawk No , I did not You meant a direct sequel with the same director , actors and the music as the first one But technically , The Never Ending Story 2 : The Next Chapter , starring Jonathan Brandis , is a direct sequel and though it is flawed , it is not as bad as some people say it is
I have both versions and in my opinion I prefer the old theatrical release because this one feels like an edition released because it would be good recieved because LOTR was successful.
@@nomenestomen3452 Seriously. Even as much as I love Moroder's Ivory Tower and Swamps of Sadness tracks, they stick out like a sore thumb after you've watched the original German version. Klaus Doldinger had already been doing Wolfgang Petersen's soundtracks for a decade and they "got" each other's vision. Imagine adding some random Moroder synth tracks to Das Boot... ugh.
@@JustPassingThrough27 Well because there's actual music playing, you can't even hear anything on the German version and it's no where near as dramatic plus the part where Falcor appears in the sky in the American version has a beautiful little hopeful burst of music this one has nothing.
@Doctor Who Fan The German one doesn't feel like anything, it's not despairing or ominous enough when Gmork is running for him, it's not hopeful when falcor appears, it doesn't portray anything right. Also Gmork's snarls even sound stupid, more like a wild board than a wolf.
@@ViolentRainbow There is no american version, just one in english language with different scenes and score . The film - as well as the book it is based on - is German
Keep your 'american version' with this shitty cheesy pop song where the sun don't shine. The German original is also closer to the book and 7 minutes longer. They totally cut out Artax speaking to Atreyu in the swamp of sadness when he drowns in the US dub, which makes the scene even more disturbing/heartbreaking. Klaus Doldinger did also an fantastic synthi score which you can HEAR btw from 0:05 on ("you can't even hear anything in the German version"). Maybe all the fat has already clogged your ears lol. How can somebody be so self-indulgent like you btw? And yes i took a look at your channel and was SHOCKED!! Are you still alive?
The soundtrack in the german version is far more menacing, its darker
I wish they would’ve had the clip of Gmork groaning when Atreyu was saved in the US release
Yes more of Gmork would be awesome cause he is so freaking cool and scary :D
1984

He is super scary!
In this scene, a German Recon unit becomes lost
in the pripet marshes in late Summer of 1941.
philippine movie trailer has that very important part when falcor saved atreyu from the beast, gomork... i had a dvd copy of the movie...
I call the German version The NeverEnding Story Extended Edition
That panting of the wolfdog Gmork is chilling 😮
Gmork looks like mr wolf from bad guys
1:28 that wasn't in the movie when I watch it.
Dustin Martin German version, it has a few more seconds or minutes added to certain scenes
Where can I find that?
Yeah because it looks so stupid Gmork looks badass in that cave scene but here he looks sooo fake and stupid

I think i like the other one better. This one ua-cam.com/video/rppJ6rCwPYI/v-deo.html

Päättymätön Tarinoita Saksa 1984
This must be in dvd format. The vhs version doesn't have the last scene of Gmork.
The German VHS version?
@@gmork1090
American vhs.
No, the German Version is longer as the english(International) Version, its uncut ^-^
@@L.B98
Oh.
@@rhaegostheskydragon1760 - 7 minutes longer. I think the score differs too
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FIND THE SWAMP SOUNDS IN THIS MOVIE I HAVE BEEN SERCTHING FOR YEARS PLEASE REPLY
What’s there a second wolf in that scene
iniduan boxie 1970s battle star galtica be safe in Christ
Surely these different versions were made by the same technical people?
I never new the German version had a totally different score. Isn't this… sacrilege?! The original score is more suited imo.
This is the original score, we all got the re-scored version. I think it’s only Germany that kept their original version.
Sacrilege?? This is a German movie dude, this is the original. It was a sacrilege to add this cheesy pop song to it as main score!!!

The American version of this scene is way more powerful.

Rockin' Resurrection Yes, my mistake, I stated that badly. I mean the English language version.
@@amidala904 The movie is on TV right now in Germany. It's primetime here. That's how I got to this vid
1983
The score for this scene in the American version is so, so much better. This one is really bad.
American version is way better
Violent Rainbow How ?
