THANK YOU!!! Thank you so much for doing this. This movie deserves the soundtrack from Tangerine Dream. I watched the Director's Cut last night and it was just...it lost it's magic. One day I hope we'll see the extended version with the Tangerine Dream Score.
I have the full musical score album - Tangerine Dream version - as well as the cut of the movie with their score. Can’t even listen to the Goldsmith score ugh.
Honestly it’s the best representation of sin. It’s beautiful and playful and the song makes it so innocent when it’s just spinning this web around her.
I have a similar feeling about Tim Curry's portrayal of Darkness/The Devil in this film; He's equally terrifying and seductive, repulsive and alluring. He makes you want run away from him, yet run towards him at the same time.
The black gown or the white? Both are beautiful. I've always looooved that black one though. Goth Lilly is a beautiful look. I used to pretend I was her holding up that necklace from the jewellery box when I was little. Would play out this whole scene. The one with the Unicorns too. This was, and still is my FAVORITE MOVIE EVER!!!!!
It would have to be someone tall and slender because I swear ... if I see another stout chick with ninja turtle calves in something like this I'm gonna be pissed
After Lili ends her dance, she peeks at her darkly beautiful self in the mirror, and she cannot help a dramatic pose, I love how Darkness makes his entrance with a similar dramatic pose.
0 dislikes. Thats because it doesn't matter whether you love or hate this movie, you can't deny how beautiful and well done this scene is. It hypnotizes me every time.
I don't consider myself necessarily 'sophisticated' but I do know what's good. I've seen plenty of footage of 'unsophisticated' Europeans. And actually, that Tangerine Dream soundtrack is extremely rare and very expensive even if you do happen to find it. I think it must have something to do with copyrights.
azbacnikorange Did all those instruments exist altogether in the exact same times in the exact same places? I doubt it. Not that any of it matters, anyhow, as this movie doesn't even take place in the real world, making all charges of anachronism pointless.
My favorite dance scene ever... hypnotically beautiful. I periodically watch this and sway back and forth as if I'm dancing 💃... ❤❤❤ Her and Tim Curry made this movie. Perfect casting choices.
The symbolism alone in this scene was awesome to say the least... subtle but sprinkled with obvious hints. Great movie... when imagination trumped CGI and special effects --- or affects. Somebody correct me!!!!
I love this so incredibly much. One of the best things to come of my childhood. Although, up until I was about 8, the Lord of Darkness scared the shit out of me.
This has always been my absolute favorite scene in this movie. Ever since I was a kid, I thought the dancing dress was so beautiful and elegant, and I've always wanted it. I watched the director's cut with Goldsmith's score, and this scene just didn't have the allure that Tangerine Dream gave it. I watched the American theatrical cut first, and it will always be the best in my opinion.
Ahhh... I've seen this extended version before and still notice that it's missing something ...I couldn't put my finger on it before but now I know exactly what it is ... its missing the flash at the point of transformation when she accepts the dress ... that part I think helps make the scene ... I believe the flash is caused by the friction between light and dark .. 2 separate energies colliding with one another causing a visible spark that begins from the darkest of shadows but even outshines light itself ... that flash is vital because in this movie light and dark hate each other with a passion so the flash is a common ground that allowed light to submit lili to darkness due to her decision in giving in to the temptations of darkness ... similar to a boarding sub-station ... had there been no flash lili would've been torn apart.
The moment of surrender... Sweet like a red wine but overwhelmed with Sorrow... to know that you are doomed... yet saved by the finish, therein lies the Truth of Insanity 🐎
Ohhhh....the Tangerine Dream score is SOOOOOO muc better than the Goldsmith. Goldsmith is good, too, I liked some of the other scenes with his music, but I have been in love with this song since I saw the movie back when I was fairly small. This song is magic. I wish they hadn't edited this scene and Tangerine Dream had made a longer song out of this
The Goldsmith score is somewhat softer and more subtle than the commanding TD version, sometimes TOO subtle. The scene where Jack apologizes to the mare is lacking emotion without TD's unicorn theme, but I liked how Goldsmith left Lili's search for Jack in the forest silent, even though I love the song TD had for the forest, the silence made it more menacing. The scene that you have to watch of Goldsmith is where Lili meets the unicorn and, just like all the old stories about the unicorn capture, she tames it with song...that scene is definitely worth it
I don't know, it should...I think the blu ray on amazon is the same as the ultimate edition dvd I have. the one with the Goldsmith is called the director's cut
4:26 That was scary watching the Lord of Darkness come through the mirror like that, while Lilly was looking at herself. I think she was supposed to be under a spell or something. But she was still nervous, which meant whatever the Lord of Darkness did, it didn't effect her the way he thought it would.
I watched this movie numerous times throughout my childhood and was always taken with the beautiful imagery and completely enchanted with the music. I am now an adult and still love the magic this movie enlivens. Thank you for posting this; I agree with you about the score; Tangerine Dream's score makes this scene and the movie successful. I have watched the other version and it just doesn't hold the appeal that this one does. Great comment Frostflame29!
i remember watching this movie with my mom's vhs copy. this was my absolute favorite part. i would dance around my bedroom like mia did along with her over and over lmao
ive loved this since i was a little girl with a beta deck at my grandmas house, i have the temptress tattooed on my arm :) one of my favorite scenes ever
This was one of my favorite scenes when I watched this movie as a kid. That music just grabs you and you want to twirl with Lili. Thanks for post it.👍👏❤
I love this dance scene :) I remember watching this movie as a kid, and I loved her evil dress LOL I love that she loses herself in this seduction dance
I'm guessing the dancing dress is symbolic of darkness, greed, etc enchanting her to give in just the same as when she was looking at the jewels that force was simply more covert until it was personified in the dress. Is there something that you're understanding in this scene that I'm not seeing?
I’ve discovered that some versions of the moviedo not get the music to this scene correct, or as I remembered originally. THIS IS IT! Thank you for confirming my reality:)
I love the Tangerine Dream score version. I love the vision and beauty that went into this. There's nothing that attracts me about "evil". It's always about the height of emotion, which can be beautiful all by itself. Thank you for leaving this up. It's one of the most epic parts of the movie.
Here because my mother named be partially after this amazing character !! I love Legends and it will never get old to me ! Now 26 and it is still my favorite movie !! 💕💕💕
+babbattaDAdentist Lilly with Jack is forever, it'll be better if there is another Lily of having a same name and was like Gaston(Beauty and the Beast) and Clayton(Tarzan) who's a rival to the other Lily and she was nicknamed Lizzy by them, but was into dark things and ended up being seduced and lusted by Darkness with both of their desires perfectly, but Jack and Lily got to defeat them, before they'll destroy the light, good point? By having two same named girls I get that idea from this anime show where two young men as rivals learned each other that they both have same exact names, but different last names who are racers. Watch the language, please say "freak im old as freak" the reason it's showing unprofessionalism and a limited vocabulary from a limited intellect so use only phonetic euphemism when commenting in the future, okay?
What is scary and dark about this scene is how evil one can be quite tempting and seductive with whoever it is trying to seduce, no matter how innocent that victim appears at first, and now when she suddenly appears wearing that dark outfit, I'm like "What has he done to her?" One moment she was still in torn rags from earlier, then the next she is in some kind of room and suddenly seduced by some kind of dark enchantment once a dark figure starts dancing around and absorbs her into it.
I think the "Tangerine Dream" score soundtrack is better matched in this magical movie than "Jerry Goldsmith" boring score. A director or European cut with Tangerine Dream would be great.
this scene has always been my favorite one out of the entire movie, it's also the only part that stayed with me when i was younger, it left such an impression of me when i was so small. i couldn't remember the name of the movie but i would keep insisting to my family that the movie was real and keep telling them about his scene "you know the movie with the princess and the unicorn, the one with the black dress that is dancing and then the princess is wearing the dress, THAT movie!! that was he one we saw!! she was so pretty, the dress i mean well the princess too but the dance was REALLY pretty!!" My family had no clue what i was talking about until we saw the movie in a Walmart bin and pulled it out and shoved the movie into their faces and said "this!! this is the movie i kept telling you about all those years ago this one!!!" I was soooooo young when we fist saw this movie i think i had just barley turned 4 or 5, ahh the nostalgia of it all, oh and we bought the movie lol XD
Made with love, I can see. Thank you! :-) I also wish that the film had that incredible dance scene--and Darkness' entry--with a longer, Tangerine Dream score. :-)
Thank you for posting this! The Tangerine Dream score is definitely far superior to the Goldsmith score (that could just be because the Tangerine Dream version was the first I had ever seen as a child) but the Goldsmith version ruins it for me, it's just not the same hahah (:
To Michael Delving. Oh! For a moment I thought the one other person was trying to talk about if this scene had been with a different score. I wouldn't even liked if it wasn't neat to listen to if I saw that scene without the goldsmith scene.
The 80's was the grand opera of mankind's existence in cinematic originality and music - timeless and enchanting this score is - it personified the scene in exemplary fashion and mystique ....... I had the luxury of growing up as a child in the 80's and I cannot be more articulate on the accomplished marvels of the decade in cinema and music. The 80's is The Legend!
Thank you so much for doing this! I too think that European version of the film is better but dislike Jerry Goldsmith's score. Tangerine Dream all the way! If I had the time and patience I would make a fan version of the film that uses the European version with Tangerine Dream's score. My favorite part of the European version is the fact that they do not show The Prince of Darkness til much later in the film, which I think gives him a much more dramatic entrance than showing him right off the bat. Plus Lily and Jack do not kiss til the end of the movie in the European version which I think gives that final scene much more impact
I came to find this today because the Olympics' closing ceremony reminded me of it. The difference is, in the Olympic's version - the darkness wins with it's false light.
I tried telling my daughter about this movie. SHES 15 and has never seen it.We went to watch it and I didnt know what had happened. Everything was different. The enchanment and magic had been replaced with something kidsy and cheesy and corny and boring. I didnt know they had changed it and took out the score and sound and changed scenes some. But it so drastically and tragically affected the quality of the movie. THIS IS THE VERSION I WANTED HER TO SEE. THIS IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL VERSION.
This dance music was hypnotic. The other two versions (director's cut and European) just don't rise to this quality. Luckily I still have an old VHS version because I can't find it on CD.
Perfect! I agree, Thank you for preserving/editing the best part of the whole movie! Whole-heartedly agree: "However, the dancing dress scene works much better with the Tangerine Dream score that was released in the United States in 1985. The European version is much longer, but the US release's Tangerine Dream score is superior... "
Best scene in the movie by a light year. Can't tell you how much this effected me as a youth. The combination of music, dance, lighting and implication is masterful.
Thank you for putting this together! TD’s score enhances the otherworldliness/mystery/magic of the setting for me. I find the orchestral score is too familiar & basic to build a powerful mood, so much so that the movie is mostly unwatchable with it. This dance is one of my favourite scenes in film. Not only is it stunning, captivating, hypnotic etc., it quickly & effectively shows half the process of her seduction through action (2min, 20sec). Had Darkness simply tried convincing her of his world view via dialogue (yawn) the film would have lost a great deal of magic And now, Lily looks evil! It would have been clumsy had Darkness simply given her the dress & then we see her wearing it in the following scene c/w make up. Great story telling!
For the life of me, I CAN'T understand how anybody could think the Goldsmith score is better than the Tangerine Dream one. The UNICORN theme that Tangerine dream produced MADE this movie. It's the theme the gives this movie LIFE. Just watch the scene when're Jack goes to ask for forgiveness from the unicorn and compare the 2. The tangerine score can bring you to tears while the Goldsmith score does nothing. I have nothing against Goldsmith but his score does not fit this movie. It's bland and generic and doesn't fit. AND THAT'S THE TRUTH. NO ROOM FOR DEBATE. IT'S THE FACT!
Yeah, but in that scene...Goldshmit it hundred times better. The way the dark dancer moves, FITS with the arrange, the rhythm...It was clearly done for THIS scene, the dancer was dancing HIS music lol This one, from Tangerine, is slow and boring. Feels like one of those fan made music videos where you just edit with some music you like.
ja, is true...exactly like a fanmade video...but however the song fits or not in this particular scene, the tangerine dream song is fucking beautiful is like medieval meets the 80´s, but the jerry goldsmith it´s totally been made for this scene, the moves and the pauses fits perfectly the tones of that song, even if it´s a little bit disney goes dark sound like.....i do prefer the goldsmith....and dont forget about the backround sounds, in this one you can hear the abrupt cut of the music , till the next scene comes, toooo fan made for me!!!....and in the goldsmith´s the brackround sound and the song becomes one..itself.sincronyzing each other
Cmel F. I think the tangerine dream score gives the film a more.magical.and dreamlike feel - there is nothing about the goldsmith score that sets the spine tingling. I wish they would re release the theatrical version but they won't because RS doesn't understand what is good in his own movies.
Totally agree! The Tangerine Dream version of the scene where Jack asks forgiveness is so moving, and brings me to tears every time. Beautifully done. The Goldsmith score does not even compare.
I almost dressed as her for Halloween but instead decided on Jessica Rabbit which won 1st prize in costume contest ..but ..... That dress & hair?makeup would be FABULOUS to Don!!!
At Last! I have tried to buy this version on dvd and failed but now I have this and I am truly grateful! Thank you so much Michael Delving for posting this clip. I am complete!!
One of my all time favorite scenes in a movie. it is PERFECT Shadow Self symbology. Thank you for remixing this. I bought the Bluray specifically to use THIS scene in a class I teach not knowing they changed the soundtrack, and though I liked having the additional footage, I did NOT like the Goldsmith song here. It just doesnt give you the same emotional impact AT ALL. Watch both versions back to back, the one with Tangerine Dream and the one with Goldsmith and you can see how very much the tone of the movie is impacted by the score!
Amusingly, I like the goldsmith songs just about everywhere BUT here. Here it seems hypnotic and illusion-like, the goldsmith dancing dress scene lost that.
My mom took me and a friend to this movie... We had to leave because I started crying when the small demons stole the unicorn . My bad Joe if you're out there. HA
This was a movie beyond its years it was such a beautiful love story about the forces between good and evil and the power of true love ❤ the soundtrack was absolutely amazing! 🦄🦄
THANK YOU!!! Thank you so much for doing this. This movie deserves the soundtrack from Tangerine Dream. I watched the Director's Cut last night and it was just...it lost it's magic. One day I hope we'll see the extended version with the Tangerine Dream Score.
By far one of the most under rated movies in existence. The Goldsmith score was simply and truly awful, I'm not sure what anyone was thinking?????
I had the cut with this song on it, shame I lost it over the years of moving :/ this is my absolute favorite movie, right next to the Last Unicorn
Very true. Best version of this scene.
I have the full musical score album - Tangerine Dream version - as well as the cut of the movie with their score. Can’t even listen to the Goldsmith score ugh.
I bought it on dvd hoping for the tangerine dream score but nothing... it was so upsetting
Never has the seductiveness and hypnotic power of evil been more convincingly portrayed.
Yeeesss! Weaknesses exploited--her noble lineage/accustomed to wealth/finer things (jewelry, luxuries)-- "sold herself to the devil".
For sure
Thats how evil is suppose to be portrayed, sweet, seductive, beautiful
I know right, the way they did this was incredible I don't get how more don't see it that way.
So tell me... have you ever danced with the devil?!
I really like how the 80s knew how to make things look creepy yet still beautiful. No cgi overload.
Missing those days
@Aung Ramen not dying, it has been dead for some time now
Couldn’t have said this better myself.
Yes, died out...alongside creativity and talent. The 80s was the last decade of true fantastic cinema
This movie was 3 years before CGI existed.
Honestly it’s the best representation of sin. It’s beautiful and playful and the song makes it so innocent when it’s just spinning this web around her.
👏a very poetic way to put it, and yes I agree
I have a similar feeling about Tim Curry's portrayal of Darkness/The Devil in this film; He's equally terrifying and seductive, repulsive and alluring. He makes you want run away from him, yet run towards him at the same time.
Just when I thought this scene couldn't get better....I love this version...and all these years later, I STILL want that dress..
The black gown or the white? Both are beautiful. I've always looooved that black one though. Goth Lilly is a beautiful look. I used to pretend I was her holding up that necklace from the jewellery box when I was little. Would play out this whole scene. The one with the Unicorns too. This was, and still is my FAVORITE MOVIE EVER!!!!!
Me too!!! Loved this part and the music
Not the dress wearing type but to have it on display would be awesome.
This song is so hauntingly beautiful it's perfect for this scene
So beautiful and evil 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤😈🖤🖤🖤😍😍😍😍😍😍🖤🖤😈😈🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤😈😈🖤🖤🖤😍😍😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🔥🔥
That dress silhouette would be one awesome cosplay.
I have it's so beautiful and romantic 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ oh my god the all the sliver is so beautiful
It would have to be someone tall and slender because I swear ... if I see another stout chick with ninja turtle calves in something like this I'm gonna be pissed
@@locknezmunster actually Mia Sara is only 5'4, a short girl could indeed pull this off. Especially if she were slender.
@@alicegraham1571 agreed ... ...no offense to the slender impaired tho
My mom tried it, the back part kept falling forward lol
It was a love story better than fifty shades of grey and twilight! Labyrinth and Legend my favorite childhood movies! I miss the 80s so much!
Mines too
Me three!
I agree! I also loved The Lost Boys❤
@@JUSTxAxTEASE Cry little sister
I'm glad to have been born in the 80's my childhood Rocked
The dress dance scene with Tangerine Dream score was hauntingly beautiful.
To be honest this dancing dress was fukn scary for me as a child. Now i enjoy this scene very much. Great imaginary and beautifull scene
Same here.
Same
...well ‘Meg the swamp witch’ still is the baddest scariest b*!ch to this day in my view!!!
Ooof same.
It was terrifying but so cool!
This has got to be one of the best directed scenes in a fantasy movie.
After Lili ends her dance, she peeks at her darkly beautiful self in the mirror, and she cannot help a dramatic pose, I love how Darkness makes his entrance with a similar dramatic pose.
0 dislikes. Thats because it doesn't matter whether you love or hate this movie, you can't deny how beautiful and well done this scene is. It hypnotizes me every time.
Hypnosis is just like nice word for Rape....
First saw this on Cable, summer, 3AM on a Saturday at age 15. Didn't know if I was dreaming or tripping.
I know right. Me too...
First saw this yesterday, October, 9:00 pm on amazon prime video, age 15
Whatever you do NEVER see the directors cut version of this movie. Without the Tangerine Dream music - this movie is not the same.
I don't consider myself necessarily 'sophisticated' but I do know what's good. I've seen plenty of footage of 'unsophisticated' Europeans. And actually, that Tangerine Dream soundtrack is extremely rare and very expensive even if you do happen to find it. I think it must have something to do with copyrights.
azbacnikorange Goldsmith's score is no less "anachronistic" than Tangerine Dream's, which isn't "pop" in any definition of the word.
azbacnikorange You do know that Tangerine Dream are European, don’t you? and calling them “synth pop”… I cannot take you seriously, I’m sorry.
azbacnikorange Did all those instruments exist altogether in the exact same times in the exact same places? I doubt it.
Not that any of it matters, anyhow, as this movie doesn't even take place in the real world, making all charges of anachronism pointless.
I liked both for different reasons. in the darker scenes the Tangerine Dream fitted in wonderfully, however here it doesn't quite fit.
God what a beautiful movie, a beautiful scene. Childhood favorite that stands the test of time!!! Dark and romantic
I love this movie. To this day, that hoof hitting the ground gives me chills....
My favorite dance scene ever... hypnotically beautiful.
I periodically watch this and sway back and forth as if I'm dancing 💃... ❤❤❤
Her and Tim Curry made this movie. Perfect casting choices.
This is one of my favorite parts in the film. The dancing is so beautiful with the perfect song. The light tempted by darkness.
Gawd this is darkly BEAUTIFUL.
JTRW very
Mia Sara actually danced the scene
Indeed, but language please.
Win her! Charm her! Make her one of ussss...😀💜😀my favourite scene of all time! I love legend! ❤️
The symbolism alone in this scene was awesome to say the least... subtle but sprinkled with obvious hints. Great movie... when imagination trumped CGI and special effects --- or affects. Somebody correct me!!!!
Effects
What is the symbolism?
@@vs71597 Vanity and "self love", notice how everything in this scene looks so dewy and glistening.
So much better with the music. Almost has a carnival sound to it.
I think that's an astute observation.
+phoenix ashes Well, the original score sucked hard. Carnie? Just fabulous.
gizzycat cat agreed
the ending of Hellraiser 2 has that as well.
True
I love the Tangerine Dream Soundtrack I wish they would release this exact version of the soundtrack
2018 and this scene still holds up
BEAUTIFUL & magical! This is my favorite scene. I wish I had a dress that would dance with me😄
Same
The music, the dance, the evil cherub, the footfalls of the hooves.
Ridley Scott sure does know how to set a scene. Brilliant
I have both versions, they came in a set. The Tangerine Dream is always the one I watch.
I wish I could explain how fascinating it was when I first saw this :(
I love this so incredibly much. One of the best things to come of my childhood. Although, up until I was about 8, the Lord of Darkness scared the shit out of me.
One of the best parts in this movie.:-)
This has always been my absolute favorite scene in this movie. Ever since I was a kid, I thought the dancing dress was so beautiful and elegant, and I've always wanted it. I watched the director's cut with Goldsmith's score, and this scene just didn't have the allure that Tangerine Dream gave it.

Remember seeing this as a kid the movie should have scared me but I was fascinated by it. Truly classic
Major sleeper of a film. Just incredible and fascinating in every way. One of my all time favs!
Ahhh...

Tangerine Dream MAKES this movie. I have both versions, and was SO disappointed with the directors cut solely because of the soundtrack.
Eh. Jerry Goldsmith's score is far superior
@@itsamekevinNo it isn't
@@justinratcliffe947 yes it is
Amazing acting, very beautiful dance scene.

i remember watching this movie with my mom's vhs copy. this was my absolute favorite part. i would dance around my bedroom like mia did along with her over and over lmao
The brief glimpses of the living statue is sooooooo perfect in it's creepiness. 🔥🎃🔥
Really well done scene absolutely memorizing and hauntingly beautiful
ive loved this since i was a little girl with a beta deck at my grandmas house, i have the temptress tattooed on my arm :) one of my favorite scenes ever
Loved this scene when I was younger still love it to this day
The dress honestly scared me as a kid but now I understand what was going on in the movie
This was one of my favorite scenes when I watched this movie as a kid. That music just grabs you and you want to twirl with Lili. Thanks for post it.👍👏❤
Glad you enjoyed!
Superb choreography, Mia Sara's timeless beauty and Tangerine Dream's flawless sound! Priceless
This movie is so underappreciated. This is such a cool movie
I love this dance scene :) I remember watching this movie as a kid, and I loved her evil dress LOL I love that she loses herself in this seduction dance
Samus Aran really you love that she loses herself in the seduction dance It's supposed to be evil thing
But, that was the purpose/point. That's how evil works...
Me too
Same!
Only took me 44 yrs to realize what this meant. I understand now. 😮❤
I'm guessing the dancing dress is symbolic of darkness, greed, etc enchanting her to give in just the same as when she was looking at the jewels that force was simply more covert until it was personified in the dress.
Is there something that you're understanding in this scene that I'm not seeing?
This scene has always been my favorite of any movie
One of the greatest fantasy scenes of all times in a film. Captivating, beautiful, dark, surreal, and seductive. Lilly's glance at 4.17 is stunning
such a perfectly fantastic scene. the aesthetics, directing and cinematography in this movie were all so top notch.
wow!! so much better, never new they released two versions
I’ve discovered that some versions of the moviedo not get the music to this scene correct, or as I remembered originally. THIS IS IT! Thank you for confirming my reality:)
This is the best version of this scene.
I love the Tangerine Dream score version. I love the vision and beauty that went into this. There's nothing that attracts me about "evil". It's always about the height of emotion, which can be beautiful all by itself. Thank you for leaving this up. It's one of the most epic parts of the movie.
I honestly think this is my favorite scene of all time. It’s so weird and creepy but cool.
and Mia Sara, you could drink her up, she is so delicious.
She is sooo beautiful!
cant argue with that!
Here because my mother named be partially after this amazing character !! I love Legends and it will never get old to me ! Now 26 and it is still my favorite movie !! 💕💕💕
sweet, innocent princess being seduced by dark desires, loved this movie as a kid with all them 80s fantasy movies......fuck im old as fuck
+babbattaDAdentist Lilly with Jack is forever, it'll be better if there is another Lily of having a same name and was like Gaston(Beauty and the Beast) and Clayton(Tarzan) who's a rival to the other Lily and she was nicknamed Lizzy by them, but was into dark things and ended up being seduced and lusted by Darkness with both of their desires perfectly, but Jack and Lily got to defeat them, before they'll destroy the light, good point?
By having two same named girls I get that idea from this anime show where two young men as rivals learned each other that they both have same exact names, but different last names who are racers.
Watch the language, please say "freak im old as freak" the reason it's showing unprofessionalism and a limited vocabulary from a limited intellect so use only phonetic euphemism when commenting in the future, okay?
do you know of other movies like this?
No, idea.
The dark crystal, the labyrinth are from the same time. Never seen anything quite like Legend though
What is scary and dark about this scene is how evil one can be quite tempting and seductive with whoever it is trying to seduce, no matter how innocent that victim appears at first, and now when she suddenly appears wearing that dark outfit, I'm like "What has he done to her?" One moment she was still in torn rags from earlier, then the next she is in some kind of room and suddenly seduced by some kind of dark enchantment once a dark figure starts dancing around and absorbs her into it.
I cant accurately describe how I feel when I see this. I have loved this scene and been mesmerized by it since I was 4 years old ❤
Best scene in the movie.
I think the "Tangerine Dream" score soundtrack is better matched in this magical movie than "Jerry Goldsmith" boring score. A director or European cut with Tangerine Dream would be great.
this scene has always been my favorite one out of the entire movie, it's also the only part that stayed with me when i was younger, it left such an impression of me when i was so small.
i couldn't remember the name of the movie but i would keep insisting to my family that the movie was real and keep telling them about his scene
"you know the movie with the princess and the unicorn, the one with the black dress that is dancing and then the princess is wearing the dress, THAT movie!! that was he one we saw!! she was so pretty, the dress i mean well the princess too but the dance was REALLY pretty!!"
My family had no clue what i was talking about until we saw the movie in a Walmart bin and pulled it out and shoved the movie into their faces and said "this!! this is the movie i kept telling you about all those years ago this one!!!"
I was soooooo young when we fist saw this movie i think i had just barley turned 4 or 5, ahh the nostalgia of it all, oh and we bought the movie lol XD
Made with love, I can see. Thank you! :-) I also wish that the film had that incredible dance scene--and Darkness' entry--with a longer, Tangerine Dream score. :-)
Love this scene! Now here's my quote for the night: "DANCING WITH A PHANTOM DRESS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA!!"
Why
Why it is beautiful at the night
Excellent Editing. I Agree Completely with your assessment of the two versions. This score is superior in its creativity and contemporary charm.
Thank you for posting this! The Tangerine Dream score is definitely far superior to the Goldsmith score (that could just be because the Tangerine Dream version was the first I had ever seen as a child) but the Goldsmith version ruins it for me, it's just not the same hahah (:
Glad you enjoyed, Carolanne! And I quite agree: the Goldsmith version of this scene is terrible.
Precisely! But what is the Goldsmith version?
Joseph Bonczyk it's the music in this clip: ua-cam.com/video/OAIf0Sy-3rs/v-deo.html
To Michael Delving. Oh! For a moment I thought the one other person was trying to talk about if this scene had been with a different score. I wouldn't even liked if it wasn't neat to listen to if I saw that scene without the goldsmith scene.
Carolanne Irvine bruhhhhh saaaaaame
The 80's was the grand opera of mankind's existence in cinematic originality and music - timeless and enchanting this score is - it personified the scene in exemplary fashion and mystique ....... I had the luxury of growing up as a child in the 80's and I cannot be more articulate on the accomplished marvels of the decade in cinema and music. The 80's is The Legend!
Thank you so much for doing this! I too think that European version of the film is better but dislike Jerry Goldsmith's score. Tangerine Dream all the way! If I had the time and patience I would make a fan version of the film that uses the European version with Tangerine Dream's score. My favorite part of the European version is the fact that they do not show The Prince of Darkness til much later in the film, which I think gives him a much more dramatic entrance than showing him right off the bat. Plus Lily and Jack do not kiss til the end of the movie in the European version which I think gives that final scene much more impact
Couldn't agree more, DJ Lishus!
I came to find this today because the Olympics' closing ceremony reminded me of it. The difference is, in the Olympic's version - the darkness wins with it's false light.
I have strong nostalgic feelings for the TD version, and the Bryan ferry closing credits song. Shows a decent Zelda film would be possible:-)
"Enticing... especially when the hoof comes out of the mirror.EPIC!!"
I tried telling my daughter about this movie. SHES 15 and has never seen it.We went to watch it and I didnt know what had happened. Everything was different. The enchanment and magic had been replaced with something kidsy and cheesy and corny and boring. I didnt know they had changed it and took out the score and sound and changed scenes some. But it so drastically and tragically affected the quality of the movie. THIS IS THE VERSION I WANTED HER TO SEE. THIS IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL VERSION.
This dance music was hypnotic. The other two versions (director's cut and European) just don't rise to this quality. Luckily I still have an old VHS version because I can't find it on CD.
I kinda like it better with this music instead of the original.
Me too.
vashthestampede1132 thank goodness I’m not the only one lol
Perfect! I agree, Thank you for preserving/editing the best part of the whole movie! Whole-heartedly agree: "However, the dancing dress scene works much better with the Tangerine Dream score that was released in the United States in 1985. The European version is much longer, but the US release's Tangerine Dream score is superior... "
Best scene in the movie by a light year. Can't tell you how much this effected me as a youth. The combination of music, dance, lighting and implication is masterful.
Thank you for putting this together!
TD’s score enhances the otherworldliness/mystery/magic of the setting for me. I find the orchestral score is too familiar & basic to build a powerful mood, so much so that the movie is mostly unwatchable with it.
This dance is one of my favourite scenes in film. Not only is it stunning, captivating, hypnotic etc., it quickly & effectively shows half the process of her seduction through action (2min, 20sec). Had Darkness simply tried convincing her of his world view via dialogue (yawn) the film would have lost a great deal of magic
And now, Lily looks evil! It would have been clumsy had Darkness simply given her the dress & then we see her wearing it in the following scene c/w make up.
Great story telling!
For the life of me, I CAN'T understand how anybody could think the Goldsmith score is better than the Tangerine Dream one. The UNICORN theme that Tangerine dream produced MADE this movie. It's the theme the gives this movie LIFE. Just watch the scene when're Jack goes to ask for forgiveness from the unicorn and compare the 2. The tangerine score can bring you to tears while the Goldsmith score does nothing. I have nothing against Goldsmith but his score does not fit this movie. It's bland and generic and doesn't fit. AND THAT'S THE TRUTH. NO ROOM FOR DEBATE. IT'S THE FACT!
I completely agree
Yeah, but in that scene...Goldshmit it hundred times better. The way the dark dancer moves, FITS with the arrange, the rhythm...It was clearly done for THIS scene, the dancer was dancing HIS music lol
This one, from Tangerine, is slow and boring. Feels like one of those fan made music videos where you just edit with some music you like.
ja, is true...exactly like a fanmade video...but however the song fits or not in this particular scene, the tangerine dream song is fucking beautiful is like medieval meets the 80´s, but the jerry goldsmith it´s totally been made for this scene, the moves and the pauses fits perfectly the tones of that song, even if it´s a little bit disney goes dark sound like.....i do prefer the goldsmith....and dont forget about the backround sounds, in this one you can hear the abrupt cut of the music , till the next scene comes, toooo fan made for me!!!....and in the goldsmith´s the brackround sound and the song becomes one..itself.sincronyzing each other
Cmel F. I think the tangerine dream score gives the film a more.magical.and dreamlike feel - there is nothing about the goldsmith score that sets the spine tingling. I wish they would re release the theatrical version but they won't because RS doesn't understand what is good in his own movies.
Totally agree! The Tangerine Dream version of the scene where Jack asks forgiveness is so moving, and brings me to tears every time. Beautifully done. The Goldsmith score does not even compare.
This is my favorite part in the movie it just goes to show how tantalizing and tempting things can be .
The Tangerine Dream version is so much more enthralling.
The pure artistry and detail put in to the makeup, scenery, and costume design is phenomenal!
Between Tim Curry and David Bowie women were having epic fantasies in the 80's. Probably some of the guys, too.
... classic-styling drifting through gentle currents on electric-wings. Tangerine Dream spun pure-gold...
Tangerine score all the way! The directors cut was on tv last night totally ruined the whole experience i remembered from chilldhood
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 having grown to this magical fantasies 80's and 90's movies alike.... Thank you kindly THIS VERSION ESPECIALLY 🖤🤘
I almost dressed as her for Halloween but instead decided on Jessica Rabbit which won 1st prize in costume contest ..but ..... That dress & hair?makeup would be FABULOUS to Don!!!
Well, there's always this coming Halloween...
That is much better... bravo! director wins this round...
Very underrated.
At Last! I have tried to buy this version on dvd and failed but now I have this and I am truly grateful! Thank you so much Michael Delving for posting this clip. I am complete!!
my fave scene yu can actually get lost in this x
One of my all time favorite scenes in a movie. it is PERFECT Shadow Self symbology. Thank you for remixing this. I bought the Bluray specifically to use THIS scene in a class I teach not knowing they changed the soundtrack, and though I liked having the additional footage, I did NOT like the Goldsmith song here. It just doesnt give you the same emotional impact AT ALL. Watch both versions back to back, the one with Tangerine Dream and the one with Goldsmith and you can see how very much the tone of the movie is impacted by the score!
Amusingly, I like the goldsmith songs just about everywhere BUT here. Here it seems hypnotic and illusion-like, the goldsmith dancing dress scene lost that.
My mom took me and a friend to this movie... We had to leave because I started crying when the small demons stole the unicorn . My bad Joe if you're out there. HA
This was a movie beyond its years it was such a beautiful love story about the forces between good and evil and the power of true love ❤ the soundtrack was absolutely amazing! 🦄🦄
God, that last shot of her eyes is perfection. You know right then she was seduced.
This song makes me want to dance exotically lol 😅
I think for me just dancing free with no conscious...
