Greg, I don't know why the Dickinson death scene was reedited the way it was. If you noticed, the Beekeeper's death scene was also reedited. He gets stabbed, the scene cuts away and then we see him with the sword protruding from his chest as he clutches at the bell rope.
(In the Director's cut, at the beginning of the assault, there's also one additional Mexican soldier in white fatigues who says, "Adalente!" )

What was a few extra seconds putting those parts in the final copy?

Correction: The 32 came from Gonzales, of course - not Goliad... In the night scene, Juan Seguin brings in a couple of wagon load of Tejanos and tells Bowie, "We picked up some men from Gonzales along the way." So that´s cut from the short DVD version...

It's just amazing that with all the Technology today that they can't touch up the bad film to transfer it to DVD...

It's just amazing that with all the Technology today that they can't touch up the bad film to transfer it to DVD... I think they could if they really wanted to. If they knew they could sell a lot of copies by doing so, it would be done in a heartbeat. But how many copies can you sell of an old western? I think that´s the issue. I´m guessing, of course, but it should be possible to make a decent restored version...

I have the laser disc of the extended version of The Alamo and was wondering if there was some easy way to tranfer that to DVD as the laser disc quality is perfect.

Well, they sell VHS to DVD recorders and DVD to VHS recorders but I don't know of any place (atleast here in the US) that sell Laserdiscs/Players/Recorders. So that'll be pretty hard to do unfortunately.

Nefarious Ned, by one of the Waynamo cannon on display at Old Tucson, AZ. This is one of the guns mounted over the main gate in the film.

Old Tucson is a movie studio/set open to the public for an admission charge. Sets from films like RIO BRAVO, GUNFIGHT AT OK CORRAL, PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID and THREE AMIGOS are there, as well as some television sets. (HIGH CHAPARRAL, BONANZA)
When Wayne wrapped THE ALAMO, the powers that be at Old Tucson came to Brackettville looking for props for their tourist attraction. Strapped for cash, Wayne sold all of the film's cannon, plus many other props. Old Tucson ended up having more memorabilia from the film than Happy Shahan at ALAMO VILAGE did.
Sadly, a 1995 fire in Old Tucson burned many of the old sets and buildings, including the building that housed THE ALAMO collection. All that remains today from THE ALAMO are the two snubbed nosed naval guns from over the Waynamo main gate and a couple of carriage guns. According to Rich Curilla, the Village is going to try and acquire the guns for permanent display. Let's hope the attempt is successful.

Rich told me that someone recently bought Aamo Village and is fixing the place up and that a movie is going to be shot there soon. Do you have any news on that?

Some fellow named David Jones (no kidding) is still negotiating the details of the proposed sale with the Shahans. It is his hope to restore the Village, the Alamo set and also to expand the place into a paying tourist destination with a hotel, train, carnival and enough activities to entice a family to want to stay over more than just one day. So far, it is all still up in the air. As Rich says over on thealamofilmsite, the champagne is in the fridge, but he has not opened it yet.
As to the film, it's come and gone. Here's what Rich has to say about it though, on thealamofilmsite:
O.K. As I promised, here is some information on the movie just completed at Alamo Village.
The working title is The Man Who Came Back. It stars Eric Braeden, Billy Zane, George Kennedy, Sean Young, Armand Assante, James Patrick Stuart, Carol Alt, Jennifer O'Dell, Peter Jason, Richard Jackson, Stefanos Miltsakakis, J. D. Hawkins and Brady Hender. It was directed by Glen Pitre and exec. produced by Braeden.
I would define it as a low budget, high prestige independent film. The company that produced it, Bowen-Walker-Cable-Castellanos Productions from Houston, made their last three movies at Alamo Village, each on a budget of around $100,000. This film was much much more, and, thanks to Eric Braedens participation, was able to draw stars like George Kennedy and Billy Zane, thus providing far greater marketability. It is being submitted to Cannes, and, if it wins and/or gets picked up by an acquisitions executive, it should do very well at the boxoffice.
The story takes place on a plantation in Louisiana during reconstruction, thus acquiring the sobriquet of "gumbo western." Eric plays a plantation overseer for ruthless owner George Kennedy, who refuses to acknowledge the Emancipation Proclamation and continues to brutalize his slaves. Eric's character arc takes him from brutal right-hand man to being the liberator of the no-longer-slaves once he truly sees their dilemma and feels their pain. Billy Zane playes a quirky and comical lawyer yes-man to Kennedy.
When the company decided to shoot the movie in Texas rather than Louisiana, producers Chuck Walker, Sam Cable and John Castellanos brought Eric Braeden to Alamo Village in hopes that they could do one week out of four here. After a sunset walk to the top of the Parson's Hill behind the Alamo, Eric fell in love with the village and decided to have Glen Pitre rewrite scenes so they could shoot two weeks here. Quite a coup for us, actually.
It was a very difficult production with several 19 hour days, but that's low budget indie. filmmaking. They all put their shoulders to the wheel and got it done on schedule. According to Eric, the budget literally doubled, but that had to do with the decision to use names rather than any schedule or overrun situations. Again, doubling a budget for star value can quadruple its income.
Eric Braeden proved to be a hard-nosed producer (needed on a film of this nature), but I really liked and appreciated him by the end. Glen Pitre is a very meticulous and artistic director, chosen carefully by Eric and Chuck Walker because "he was right for this project."
I really liked Billy Zane and got to be friends with him -- so much so that I no longer wish he had gone down with the Titanic instead of Leonardo de Caprio.
And, of course, George Kennedy was as wonderful a gentleman and professional as he was forty years ago when I worked with him on Bandolero! at Alamo Village. Due to his return, he is more correctly "the man who came back." His character gets dragged to death on Front Street at the village, and he had to lie on the hot street for the scene where the townspeople discover his body. Of course, a stunt double (Jackson Burns) did the drag (in three takes), but a picture double was provided who would lie on the street until they had to have George for the close-up. George, however, refused the use of the picture double and laid in the hot sun for nearly thirty minutes himself. What a trooper. The man is 82 years old, weighs 300 pounds and does not look particularly fat. Boy, is he big!
I handed him my Bandolero! script to sign the title page, and he grabbed it out of my hand saying, "Wow! Look at this!" Then he started going down the list of key credits on the fly page, his excitement obvious. "Ah! There's Billy Clothier," he said, "and Jimmy... and Andy Prine!" Made my day!
The film will be in post for about three to four months and then, hopefully, marketed internationally.

I just noticed something. One of the actors in THE MAN WHO CAME BACK is named 'James Stuart'. So, George Kennedy is once again appearing in a film with a 'Jimmy Stuart' , some 40 years after BANDOLERO.

Some fellow named David Jones (no kidding) is still negotiating the details of the proposed sale with the Shahans. It is his hope to restore the Village, the Alamo set and also to expand the place into a paying tourist destination with a hotel, train, carnival and enough activities to entice a family to want to stay over more than just one day. So far, it is all still up in the air. As Rich says over on thealamofilmsite, the champagne is in the fridge, but he has not opened it yet.
Neferetus, I hope all that doesn't happen. When you go to the Alamo set and Alamo Village, that's what's so great about it is that it is still in pretty pristine condition with no modern trappings to spoil it. When I was there in April, when I arrived there were two or three RV's parked at the gate of the Alamo (John Wayne's Alamo). When they left, I had the whole place to myself, and it was like being transported back in time. I'd hate to think of the place having a small RR track running around or up to it, whistles blowing, etc. The whole carnival thing would make it just that: a carnival. But I agree something might need to be done to make it more attractive to families. So maybe the carnival thing a couple miles and out of sight of the set would be fine. I'd just hate to see the whole thing turned into an Alamowood.

Rich Curilla told me about the sale of Alamo Village. He said they were gonna spruce it up and make it look like it did at the time of the filming. There was going to be a welcome center where the entrance is now, and a train would take the visitors on down to the set.

Hey bubbabob, I had some of the same misgivings about the revitalization of Alamo Village as you. But, without a major overhaul, the place---especially the Alamo compound---will likely not be there in another 10 years. Let's just wait and see and then hope for the best.
But you are right about one thing. There will probably be no more having the Alamo all to yourself in the future. With all the major upgrades come more tourists and with more tourists, more security. I'm envisioning the future may see a supervized group tour of the Alamo compound and no climbing on the walls. And that's too bad, if true.
