Two differences between this Austrian version and the generally available American version are immediately obvious: they differ both in their length and in the language of the intertitles. The American version is only 1,883 metres long - at 18 frames per second a difference of some 7 minutes to the Austrian version with 2,045 metres. Whereas we originally presumed only a negligible difference, resulting from the varying length of the intertitles, a direct comparison has nevertheless shown that the Austrian version differs from the American version both in the montage and in the duration of individual scenes. Yet how could it happen that the later regional distribution of a canonical US silent film was longer than the "original version"?
The prevalent American version of Blind Husbands does not correspond to the version shown at the premiere of 1919. This little-known fact was already published by Richard Koszarski in 1983. The film was re-released by Universal Pictures in 1924, in a version that was 1,365 feet (416 metres) shorter. At 18 frames per second, this amounts to a time difference of 20 minutes! "Titles were altered, snippets of action removed and at least one major scene taken out entirely, where von Steuben and Margaret visit a small local chapel." (Koszarski)
From the present state of research we can assume that all the known American copies of the film derive from this shortened re-release version, a copy of which Universal donated to the Museum of Modern Art in 1941. According to Koszarski the original negative of the film was destroyed sometime between 1956 and 1961 and has therefore been irretrievably lost. This information casts an interesting light on the Austrian version, which can be dated to the period between the summer of 1921 and the winter of 1922. Furthermore, the copy is some 200 metres longer than the US version of 1924. If one follows the details given by Richard Koszarski and Arthur Lennig, this means that, as far as both its date and its length are concerned, the Austrian version lies almost exactly in the middle between the (lost) version shown at the premiere and the re-released one.A large part of the additional length of the film can be traced to cuts that were made to the 1924 version in almost every shot. Koszarski describes how the beginning and the end of scenes were trimmed, in order to "speed up" the film. However, more exciting was the discovery that the Austrian version contains shots that are missing in the American one - shots/countershots, intertitles - and furthermore shows differences in its montage (i.e. the placing of the individual shots within a sequence). All this indicates that Die Rache der Berge constitutes the oldest and most completely preserved material of the film.
看完了之后有一种感觉，星爷的大话西游那么好看，编剧刘镇伟的功劳要占一大半。
有星爷的标杆在，对比还是有差距，但值得从头看到尾，片尾曲雷娜的《祈缘》好听，可惜音乐平台找不到。
PS 达叔走好
作为网剧还行，不过也就2星半，炒大话西游的冷饭，但只有皮毛而已，好在男主和女主还行，达叔也不错，也是告别之作了。
At kinlong's apartment with xunlei just now
达叔不错
一星给马心瑞 很有灵性 这妞儿一定能火
结局是高潮。怀念的歌声，响起总是心潮澎湃。演职员表出来的时候，达叔加框了，热泪盈眶……
炒冷饭之作，石头版哥斯拉大战孙悟空。
达叔遗作……故事烂到爆。男女主特别男主太丑了。完全看不下去啊。蹭的过气的大话西游的热点……
月光宝盒下西洋学习回来，从单线前后穿越变成平行时空穿越了么→_→
男主颜值。。。太差了，相反女主超美！
2.5星 ，半星为了拉一点分。剧情合理，两主角脸不讨人厌，演技基本在线。有些片段场景能看到及格线以上的水平。就不能能把粗制滥造的特效妖怪去掉，写多点文戏的？这版紫霞虽然比不上朱茵，但是抛唐嫣九条街！
时长太短节奏明显太快，主角之间的感情升温的有点突兀，好在故事讲清楚了，逻辑也算清晰，就是感觉剧组有点穷，这点尤其可以在最后猴子的装扮上能感觉出来，但瑕不掩瑜，跟其他大话西游的续传翻拍比起来，这部可以给个及格分了，多加一分给达叔和最后的一生所爱。
强行贴合老版大话西游，但是至少讲了一个好故事，浪费了我八十分钟。
其实还行
两人感情铺垫不够，看花絮好像还有穿婚服的场景被删了
这比刘镇伟本人的炒的冷饭香多了
作为大话西游衍生的电影，这部可以说是合格了，比情癫大圣、大话西游3等等都要自然。这是吴孟达的最后一部电影，是很温暖又不失风趣的父亲形象，看到片尾有方框的名字，忍不住泪崩了。总体来看影片其实也有些欠佳的地方，特效并不出色，有明显的剪掉部分剧情的痕迹，但剧情倒是讲的通，和大话西游也比较贴切，最关键是女主给影片增色太多太多，灵动可爱，有着独特的个人魅力，是原版朱茵之外最好的紫霞，给人深刻印象。虽然没法给这片打出四星以上的分数，但还是很推荐看看的。
