THIS version would have been better left untold,

This review is from: Great Escape 2: Untold Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)
If you've already seen the original GREAT ESCAPE, then you shouldn't waste your time with this. GREAT ESCAPE 2 is supposedly closer to the real events, but that's still no excuse to bore the living daylights out of viewers. Here we have Christopher Reeve, Judd Hirsch (TV's TAXI) and Donald PLeasance as very poor stand ins for Steve McQueen, James Coburn and Charles Bronson. Probably part of this is that I slogged my way through the three hour version, each 90 minute part has a different director which probably didn't help matters. Part 1 is directed by Paul Wendkos and Part 2 by Jud Taylor. If you absolutely must watch this then try and find the 90 minute edited version. Don't torture yourself like I did. Maybe part of the claustrophobia of Bronson's character in the original may have been the prophecy that this movie would be green-lighted 25 years later.
