And with the coming of the rain in the end Arrakis will now be ruined. The worms will die, the spice will cease to flow, the ruination of everything people have fought and died for will come to an end... bad form!
@philippines1987 correct. The date I was referencing to was from a book called Harlan Ellison's Watching who in 1989 was the only critic who commented favorably to this fantastic epic. Thanks for pointing that out.
WHY?!!! I was willing to forgive this movie for all it's faults, but this scene just totally killed it. Not accurate to the book, and not accurate to the point Frank Herbert was trying to get across. FAIL!!!
@Gazzl33t I believe it refers to an extended cut released years later on laserdisc. It's not a director's cut as Lynch had nothing to do with the re-editing, and in fact his name is usually removed from this version and replaced with "Alan Smithee."
l remembered the Siskel & Ebert review of this film, searched, and found it on YouTube (Siskel: "confusing beyond belief"). Seach for "Siskel Dune".
Question: I only read the novel once, a long time ago in a city far far away, but I don't recall the Guild Navigators being tank-dwelling Moby Dick types. The screenwriter(s) made that up, right?
@Hunpecked 3rd stage navigators do live only in the spice tanks and their bodies are deformed thru massive amts of forced spice evolution . towards the end of the dune series of books the last of remaining navigators disappear into space cos they were no longer needed ; machines had been created that had limited prescience that could pilot just like the navigators so now they were no longer needed . edrik one of the navigators gets killed by havin his tank broken
@Hunpecked it was said, that because of the spice, their body god deformed - as they used those tanks, they didn't need to move, so then their hands and legs got reduced, while heads expanded for the developing brain. But afaik it was more clearly defined in the prologue books (battle for Corrin (o))
AWw... dont knock it... The sets were awesome. And honestly when I'm reading the books these are the faces I picture. No, there's no way it wouldve rained THAT day in Arrakeen. But it made for good imagery. The SYFY version looked way too modern for the anti-computer universe of Dune. And I didn't really care for the way they miscast Leto II & Ghanima.
Alan Smithee simply edited what David lynch had directed...A CLASSIC!!! It was edited into an abortive mess for the original release, but Smithee managed to restore what was lost.
@GrandFunker "Alan Smithee" is a pseudonym directors use to distance themselves from films. Lynch simply edited his own work. There is no actual Alan Smithee.
I watch this movie every few years. I have the DVD in my bottom draw, the last two books of the Frank Herbert run, which was finished by his son, and kevin is among the best fiction ever written (sand words of dune and hunters of dune, second only to what was written by Frank Herbert himself).
I have always loved this movie. I had it on VHS for years. I use to watch it 2 or 3 times a week when I was a young man (early teens). It is in my humble opinion the greatest sci-fi/fantasy movie ever made. I have also read the book it is based on, it is true that alot of details from the novel are left out but still it is an EPIC movie!!!!
@LORDTIGERBLOOD I watched this in '87 when I was a wee lad. being in the Bahamas I didn't get my hand on the Novel until 1997. Read it three times since then. Watched the DVD in 2007, won't watch it again until next year.
if i had a little sister i would make her follow me around, and then whenever i do anything amazing like kill sting or it rained, she would say " and how can this be... for he is the kwisatz haderach"
you know if they put there minds to it and made a MMO for this movie i wounder how many would play it!! hell i remember when i was a kid i loved it on the big screen and the board games for it and later PC... HELL the remakes of it and TV show even pawned just as much
@zackhanscom Look, I doubt you've even seen the god damn movie, and no no one thinks everything Lynch does is a fucking masterpiece. Either you like it, or hate it, but its not up to you to deem this film horrible, or make that rash of a generalisation. Read the book and see the film. Don't pan it based on one fucking scene.
I think you got that right. Shai Hulud would have damned it. Leto II would have damned it. Luckily Frank Herbert didn't live to see it. If it was meant to be hated then it is certainly a masterpiece. I hated every minute of it until I saw the sandworm open its mouth. That is when I realized that it must be a farce.
So either you can appreciate the humour or you can't but it is really not worth hating.
@StimuLAZ I don't hate it. For me it is just kind of there. Nothing really worth commending about it, but the Sci-Fi remake was ten times better, but no its not a farce. They tried their best, but Lynch screwed it up. Although, Frank Herbert did write one of the drafts for the script.
This movie looks so amazing, never saw all of it but going to buy it ASAP. Iv been reading up on it and even thought half the people say it was a fail, I think most people like it. It influwenced so much, games, book, other movies. It was a very important film. I never read the book so I do not know if the movie is acerate in the sence. It like many others was just one of those amazing movies from the 1980's.
They changed the ending to make it Hollywood material. In the books it is not a triumph where he "ends war and brings peace". It is the total opposite, where he brings on the Jihad that kills billions and sterilizes entire planets, and he is powerless to change his destiny and the fate of the galaxy, because he knows that as horrible as the Jihad is it is the only that humankind can continue to grow and avoid decay and extinction.
Yup Alia is definitely a creepy little kid in this movie. But Paul's mom is SMOKIN HOT! Well...not at the end where she's all bald but earlier in the movie....dam.
Loved the book, and this movie met the expectations to the full. Still looks so fresh and modern after withstanding the test of time. It is somewhat a blend of Flash Gordon and Star Wars. Thank you for sharing it. :-)
@Death2Fanboys I am not Harkonnen but you are welcome to a thumbs down from me.
Not all people think like you, and if they did then they would be very predictable and boring. In fact there would be nothing interesting to talk about. Conformity is hell.
spoiler alert!! Spoiling each ending! Dune: paul becomes emperor. dune messiah: paul goes blind and kills himself. children of dune: alie dies, leto II gets sandtrout skin, becomes superhuman, becomes emperor. god emperor of dune: leto turns into sandworm
And where the hell did that voice-over at the end come from??? That's not the voice over on the movie! It sounds like something out of a fucking western!
I adore this version of "Dune". The Weirding Way interpretation by David Lynch is excellent. A sonic weapon, derived from certain tonal qualities of words, that can cause such destruction. And Paul, being the Kwisatz Haderach, embodying that truth. "My name is a killing word." I will always <3 this version.
No this movie is a cult classic for the wrong reason! it's one of those movies with a cult following like Showgirls that gets often watched alot for people to laugh at how bad it is. I'm glad they are remaking it again for the big screen again in a 3 or 4 parts to do the book justice and it will ignore this abortion. I detested this movie and raped my favorite novel. It's basically Showgirls in Space than a true adaptation.
Yes, ok maybe i'm a bit hard on this movie since i am a hardcore fan of the novels since i was 12 and i was very disappointed in this movie when i saw this at 16 and rewatched it 2 years ago in it's extended cut. I mean i do have a love-hate relationship with this movie, i love that it has some decent visuals despite being laughable at times, a few decent actors in roles, decent action scenes and of course a great score which might be better than the film itself. I
What a mess. Not even the Smithee version, but the whole thing. Lynch basically bastardised the book. It is NOTHING like this. This is recreating the Mona Lisa with crayons.
@hivelocity100 Agreed. The fact that Frank Herbert himself actually liked this movie just doesn't seem to matter to a lot of these so called "real fans". It's incredibly rare when an author actually approves of a film adaptation of their work, so it really couldn't be all that BAD of a movie. lol.
He approved of this movie? but that ending was retarded as hell, i mean i think Lynch went overboard with his ego on this movie with that ending on killing the worms, stopping spice productions and stopping space travel that is conventional. Lynch did disowned this movie because he wasn't happy making the movie when he didn't want to do it except for money and to pave way for Blue Velvet for De Laurentiis.
But Lynch hates this movie, he refuses to talk about it, he would walk out of interviews if Dune is ever mentioned and refuses to sign it in autograph meetings if Lynch fans bring their Dune DVD cause he might destroy it. It's a painful memory for Lynch! please read the book, it's much better than this mess of a movie.
I guess your a Lynchhead, if you ever show up at a movie festival with David Lynch and even have his movies especially Dune on DVD for him to sign them he will sign them except for Dune which he loathes it that much and you'd be saying "You forgot to sign Dune" and he'll say "Fuck that shit, fuck Dune, i'm David Lynch" which is true. He even walks out of interviews if this movie is ever mentioned because it's a painful memory he wishes to forget, i'm glad they are remaking it
@hivelocity100, it's just too bad that Dune is just too damned involved to make into a movie. I've heard Lynch wanted this, at one point, to be shown as a six hour mini series. It's still an amazing movie. I watched it with my girlfriend the other night (her second time, my 10th or so), and I nearly cried during the some scenes because the music and visuals are so stunning.
The Matrix and Avatar are the same thing as the Dune books! for any fan of the book you'll see some similarities in both movies to the Dune books. Both Matrix and Avatar have outcasts on exotic worlds, fall for alien girl, joins up with tribes to become one of them, fight against enemies who want hold of a precious substance, both have messiah figures, etc. you get the picture fans of the Dune books.
I suppose your a Lynch-head, i'm a hardcore fan of the novels since i was 12 years old and thought this adaptation was a disgusting, senseless and vile parody of the books than an actual adaptation. It's nothing more than the Ego of Lynch put on film when he did this hideous adaptation and was the wrong man for such a movie. The Matrix was better and more entertaining than this boring and gross slop, read the fucking book and it's better than Lynch's ego-trip of a movie.
@takethat925 Its called the worst movie of 1984 be cause thats some marketing bullshit, be cause it is actually the best. It really fucking rocks! It is so rich and exotic. Dune is the best movie ever.
@takethat925 It's called the worst movie because the audience had to really pay attention to it. The fans of the book loved it, calling it one of the best adaptations of a novel. I have never read the book and it took me a second viewing of the film for me to fully understand it. However, i think it's one of the best Sci-fi films ever made.
@takethat925 It's only been proven a success with the passage of time. David Lynch has disowned this movie, due to the studio taking over and not giving him final cut. Truth be told, there are a LOT of problems with it. Universal refused David Lynch the right to make it three hours, and forced him to cut it to just over two. That's a good reason why a lot of the movie makes no sense. It's great for the visuals, but otherwise a betrayal of the director's vision.
I've been a hardcore fan of the Dune books since i was 12 in 93 and loved them, i watched the movie on video as i felt hurt inside and cried at the end when i was 16 in 1997 even when it rained since it was Lynch's invention not Herbert's . Then i saw the extended cut on Sci-fi in 1999 for it's nearly the same shit for a piece of shit adaptation and still an ugly mess that i hated and felt bored watching it and confused as i felt like putting a gun near my head. I admit the soundtrack is cool.
I hated both the mini-series and Lynch's Monstrosity! the only good Dune is Children of Dune and THAT is how Dune is done right unlike those 2. I can't wait for the new 3 part big screen Dune adaptation which shall do the first book justice and should be done by a director who is talented and cares about the book unlike Lynch who never read the book or cares about it.
A real awful rape of a great book this movie was, it should have been directed Alejandro Jodorosky or Ridley Scott to do this movie but NO they hired David Fucking Lynch to do it, he doesn't know jackshit about the book and he screwed it up by making it a Lynch movie, not a Dune movie. I'm glad it bombed in theaters with audiences and critics, he disowned it as it's his "Heaven's Gate". I hope the new 4-part movie will do the book justice than this $47 million mess.
@Johnlindsey289 If you're talking about the 4 part miniseries...then only the last two parts are any good. But god, the costumes, they will make you cry. Now, on this movie, at least those were cool and made sense. the perfect dune movie might have to be made by the fans...lol
I'm talking about Pierre Morrel's upcoming 4-part big screen movie coming soon to theaters which should be better than this turd of an adaptation. I This movie is just a senseless piece of junk that is one of the most expensive turkeys ever made for it makes no sense and was poorly acted, muddled scripting and bad visual effects. The book made sense but this movie was just terrible.
@M8DMAN I think the same. It's like the Lord of The Rings, they had to adapt it. And also think some of Lynch's ideas were genius, they are not in the book, but fit well, like the weirding module and folding space. The novel doesn't deal with this issues in the same way :) Some purists think not, but I agree, the original is unfilmable
@M8DMAN Indeed. There are some descriptions of the clothing in the books, Lynch's film is closer to that, the miniseries was too "fashion" to me, it doesn't depict functional clothing like the movie does. perhaps they consulted Jean Paul Gaultier, like they did in "The Fifth Element! XD
Herbert approved of this travesty? what he was thinking? would you compare these movies to the Dune novels for similar themes? Stargate, The Matrix, Avatar, Star Wars and Star Trek movies, The Dark Crystal, Serenity, Chronicles of Riddick, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds etc. and i wish they never hired David Lynch for this movie because he was never meant to do blockbusters and he never talks about this movie as he hates it.
@daricsoldar Yep, she was Virginia Madsen, she played Princess Irulan. In the book, she's also the historian who wrote the books concerning Muad Dib's historical dids, I think that's why they choose her to do the narratives in the film. :)
At 3:34 when Feyd does that really quick gesture at Chani, that always cracks me up. Sting was awesome in this movie. I wish he would do more films, as he actually has some acting abilities to go along with his singing talents.
Although the 1984 version of Dune did not follow Frank Herbert's writing of the novel, it does hold a special place for me (and I LOVED all of the original novels); I think the visual style, casting, and even the mu

I adore this version of "Dune". The Weirding Way interpretation by David Lynch is excellent. A sonic weapon, derived from certain tonal qualities of words, that can cause such destruction. And Paul, being the Kwisatz Haderach, embodying that truth. "My name is a killing word." I will always <3 this version.

it's a great film.
Bad movie adaptation.
Hell this movie alone created the RTS genre in video games and has one of the most interesting game campaigns ever.
Hate it if you must, but atleast acknowledge it's better than todays hollywood trash.

No this movie is a cult classic for the wrong reason! it's one of those movies with a cult following like Showgirls that gets often watched alot for people to laugh at how bad it is. I'm glad they are remaking it again for the big screen again in a 3 or 4 parts to do the book justice and it will ignore this abortion. I detested this movie and raped my favorite novel. It's basically Showgirls in Space than a true adaptation.

Yes, ok maybe i'm a bit hard on this movie since i am a hardcore fan of the novels since i was 12 and i was very disappointed in this movie when i saw this at 16 and rewatched it 2 years ago in it's extended cut. I mean i do have a love-hate relationship with this movie, i love that it has some decent visuals despite being laughable at times, a few decent actors in roles, decent action scenes and of course a great score which might be better than the film itself.

@hivelocity100 Agreed. The fact that Frank Herbert himself actually liked this movie just doesn't seem to matter to a lot of these so called "real fans". It's incredibly rare when an author actually approves of a film adaptation of their work, so it really couldn't be all that BAD of a movie. lol.

He approved of this movie? but that ending was retarded as hell, i mean i think Lynch went overboard with his ego on this movie with that ending on killing the worms, stopping spice productions and stopping space travel that is conventional. Lynch did disowned this movie because he wasn't happy making the movie when he didn't want to do it except for money and to pave way for Blue Velvet for De Laurentiis.
Johnlindsey289 1 year ago
@hivelocity100
But Lynch hates this movie, he refuses to talk about it, he would walk out of interviews if Dune is ever mentioned and refuses to sign it in autograph meetings if Lynch fans bring their Dune DVD cause he might destroy it. It's a painful memory for Lynch! please read the book, it's much better than this mess of a movie.

He even walks out of interviews if this movie is ever mentioned because it's a painful memory he wishes to forget, i'm glad they are remaking it

@hivelocity100, it's just too bad that Dune is just too damned involved to make into a movie. I've heard Lynch wanted this, at one point, to be shown as a six hour mini series. It's still an amazing movie. I watched it with my girlfriend the other night (her second time, my 10th or so), and I nearly cried during the some scenes because the music and visuals are so stunning.

The Matrix and Avatar are the same thing as the Dune books! for any fan of the book you'll see some similarities in both movies to the Dune books. Both Matrix and Avatar have outcasts on exotic worlds, fall for alien girl, joins up with tribes to become one of them, fight against enemies who want hold of a precious substance, both have messiah figures, etc. you get the picture fans of the Dune books.

I suppose your a Lynch-head, i'm a hardcore fan of the novels since i was 12 years old and thought this adaptation was a disgusting, senseless and vile parody of the books than an actual adaptation. It's nothing more than the Ego of Lynch put on film when he did this hideous adaptation and was the wrong man for such a movie. The Matrix was better and more entertaining than this boring and gross slop, read the fucking book and it's better than Lynch's ego-trip of a movie.

@takethat925 It's called the worst movie because the audience had to really pay attention to it. The fans of the book loved it, calling it one of the best adaptations of a novel. I have never read the book and it took me a second viewing of the film for me to fully understand it. However, i think it's one of the best Sci-fi films ever made.

@takethat925 It's only been proven a success with the passage of time. David Lynch has disowned this movie, due to the studio taking over and not giving him final cut. Truth be told, there are a LOT of problems with it. Universal refused David Lynch the right to make it three hours, and forced him to cut it to just over two. That's a good reason why a lot of the movie makes no sense. It's great for the visuals, but otherwise a betrayal of the director's vision.

I've been a hardcore fan of the Dune books since i was 12 in 93 and loved them, i watched the movie on video as i felt hurt inside and cried at the end when i was 16 in 1997 even when it rained since it was Lynch's invention not Herbert's . Then i saw the extended cut on Sci-fi in 1999 for it's nearly the same shit for a piece of shit adaptation and still an ugly mess that i hated and felt bored watching it and confused as i felt like putting a gun near my head. I admit the soundtrack is cool.

I hated both the mini-series and Lynch's Monstrosity! the only good Dune is Children of Dune and THAT is how Dune is done right unlike those 2. I can't wait for the new 3 part big screen Dune adaptation which shall do the first book justice and should be done by a director who is talented and cares about the book unlike Lynch who never read the book or cares about it.
Johnlindsey289 1 year ago
A real awful rape of a great book this movie was, it should have been directed Alejandro Jodorosky or Ridley Scott to do this movie but NO they hired David Fucking Lynch to do it, he doesn't know jackshit about the book and he screwed it up by making it a Lynch movie, not a Dune movie. I'm glad it bombed in theaters with audiences and critics, he disowned it as it's his "Heaven's Gate". I hope the new 4-part movie will do the book justice than this $47 million mess.

@Johnlindsey289 If you're talking about the 4 part miniseries...then only the last two parts are any good. But god, the costumes, they will make you cry. Now, on this movie, at least those were cool and made sense. the perfect dune movie might have to be made by the fans...lol

@M8DMAN I think the same. It's like the Lord of The Rings, they had to adapt it. And also think some of Lynch's ideas were genius, they are not in the book, but fit well, like the weirding module and folding space. The novel doesn't deal with this issues in the same way :) Some purists think not, but I agree, the original is unfilmable

@solnegrolunaroja Frank Herbert even enjoyed the film! To me the 1984 movie will allways be better then that Shitty sci fi Mini series.
One thing i loved about the film was the look of the still suits and the other costumes. The costumes in the mini series were just plain awful!
M8DMAN 1 year ago
@M8DMAN Indeed. There are some descriptions of the clothing in the books, Lynch's film is closer to that, the miniseries was too "fashion" to me, it doesn't depict functional clothing like the movie does. perhaps they consulted Jean Paul Gaultier, like they did in "The Fifth Element! XD

@solnegrolunaroja The book was pretty clear that the characters dressed in a modernised formal wear fashion.
Now the children of dune mini series was a lot better about the staying faithfull to the look of the novel.

Herbert approved of this travesty? what he was thinking? would you compare these movies to the Dune novels for similar themes? Stargate, The Matrix, Avatar, Star Wars and Star Trek movies, The Dark Crystal, Serenity, Chronicles of Riddick, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds etc. and i wish they never hired David Lynch for this movie because he was never meant to do blockbusters and he never talks about this movie as he hates it.
