Funny thing is, today it would be an HBO series. When you have that much material to cover, it just makes more sense to take your time with it.

I think there's something to what SC posted. The film was rushed. But then, so was Part III, and that was an almost complete disaster. So in my opinion, GF 2 was the greatest "rushed" film of all time lol.


I always thought that part I and Part III were rushed. For part II FFC demanded full authority, which, If I'm correct, was granted to him. That meant he decided how long the production would take. Considering all the research they made for writing the script, all the different places they went to shoot scenes and all the effort they put in desinging the sets, suggests they had plenty of time.
