Fired the original director, editor, and then reshot (really late in the game) for new special effects. This turkey is probably the main reason why they really replaced the studio chief. Spending good money after bad is the studio system way. With so many clever film makers, how could they screw up a "paint by the numbers" title like this one? Too bad. They should have done a Sherlock Holmes on it, and reinvented the genre. How about a Wolfman who likes being a monster, and not a brooding hambone, who suffers-along with the audience-all the way through? They forgot that this was supposed to be a fun movie. Just my opinion, of course.
