It was on my list because of the soundtrack, so when I didn’t hear the iconic track at all during the movie I looked it up.

Turns out that there is a re-scored version with a completely different soundtrack, and that was the version we got…

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04p5k25

. Featuring an exclusive new soundtrack curated by Zane Lowe.

I will be watching this movie again next weekend, with the proper soundtrack

    Yup. Before Drive was officially released there was a pirated “screener” copy online with a different, and in my opinion better, soundtrack. It enhanced the movie in a more effective way than what we got in the official release. Especially the elevator scene.

    Watched the movie again when it officially came out and went “wait a minute, this isn’t right”.

    Not even sure if the screener copy is still available anywhere.

    Me and my friend watched the same movie remotely. They were watching “into the wild”, I was watching “No county for old men”. I understood I was on the wrong one when they commented about the great soundtrack, since the second one has no music ;D definitely after thee first quarter, probably after half. By chance they were talking about the van in the scene where there’s a van smuggling drugs so I did not notice

    I accidentally watched A Quiet Place with the sound off. It wasn’t until the waterfall scene about 45m in that I realized something was wrong.

    Ah, the joy of sitting through about 45 minutes of 28 Days, before realising I’d downloaded the wrong movie when the zombies failed to show up.

    I watched “San Andreas Quake: Magnitude 10”, waited for a long time wondering where is The Rock before I understood I The Asylum tricked me. Later, I saw the real movie but it was less fun than the mockbuster.

      A lot of TV shows had their music replaced when they went to streaming because of song licensing crap, so it wasn’t super surprising that it happened to a movie too.

        Scrubs was absolutely ruined because of this.

        The time I spent putting the broadcast audio onto the streaming/dvd/Blu-ray releases to make them watchable was significant.

        NBC and owners of scrubs were the worst for it. Scrubs had an iconic soundtrack that picked songs for the exact mood of the story, but then licenses expired and they just chose cheaper songs. I don’t care how much it costs, when “I will try to fix you” comes on I immediately start tearing up.

        Edit: Found this - https://www.reddit.com/r/Scrubs/comments/2lmf7h/ive_made_a_list_of_dvdnetflix_song_differences/

        So many in there that are obvious just cheap replacements. This one made me legit angry:

        • My Ocardial Infarction (S4E13) - end scene; JD takes a deep breath as per Elliot’s advice, and handles trainwreck patient very well
          • DVD song: “All Kinds of Time” by Fountains of Wayne
          • Netflix song: Unknown instrumental

          This is why I have it pirated, as you say the soundtrack is a huge part of that show, just rewatched it again recently and I don’t even want to know what the streaming version is like.

      Music licensing is a nightmare. Music licensing across international borders is a ridiculous surrealist nightmare from which you can never wake; if you should ever want to enter into such endeavors find the nearest cliff and try to fly as that will be a less painful adventure more likely to find success.

    I watched the first half of “Nightcrawler” before I questioned why Jake Gyllenhaal didn’t have a German accent and the X-Men where nowhere in sight.

    I watched the movie Hush, a horror movie about a deaf woman, on mute without knowing until after it was over. I thought it was a really creative artistic choice

      I had something similar with a download of Eraserhead. The audio was corrupted, the best way I could describe it is running water with a ton of reverb slightly chopped. I thought it was an interesting choice and the ambience definitely matched the black and white industrial atmosphere. 30 minutes in, I realized it was a bad copy when someone finally spoke.

      I had a similar thing happen to me with Dark City. It took me 30 minutes to realize that the contrast on my TV was turned all the way down and that in fact, you were supposed to see something that wasn’t just really, really dark.

    I watched 90% of a movie with “narration” turned on, and thought that “this movie is really fucking annoying. Yes, I see that the actor just did that, you don’t need to tell me.”

      I never thought it happened to anyone else! Happened to me in Montreal few years ago.

      Went to the Bell centre to watch the Habs, get drunk, and then back at the hotel, Apollo 13 was on tv. Classic Tom hanks movie so I had to watch the Whole thing.

      It had narration mode turned on…. In French. The most confusing movie I’ve ever watched. And I’ve seen Apollo 13 a dozen times.
