Some people, me included, had som problems with thus part to start with...
Maybe there was too much dessert scenes. It had a great dwarf fight at the end and the dwarf being crushed by Mikes telekinesis power moving rocks is great - love it!!
But what did part IV miss??
I thing part IV missed lots by not having a brain-drilling scene. Yes, Mikes copy Tall Mans tricks and attack him fire by fire by projectiling a home made sphere at the end, but it isnt the same thing if it dont suck brain out!
Also, I missed scenes at mausoleums, there were TOO little of time spent in mausoleums, and that is something part 4 missed imo.
What do you guys miss in part 4??

nothing, i liked part 4 just the way it is, i take all of the Philms just as they are. Besides, P4 had that repeating, multiplying space gate scene and that was boss!

Cool, after first view back in 2007 when i bought the sphere ball dvd collection, I was let down by both the III and IV, but now lots of views later I often find myself in wanting to watch part III and IV the most. In the end the dept and humor of these movies lasts alot.
I wanted to toss the question around -- mostly people might say the dissliked this or that -- but what is there that they acctually miss... nothing in particular! Good to know you all are such hardcore phans, loving the movies exacly for what they are. Wanted to create som conversation, and thx for your answers.

I loved IV, I thought it ended the series well, (of course I'm hyped to see Ravager).
At the time, I wanted to see more of The Tall Man's background and I agree about the cemeteries, graveyards are always cool.
Looking forward to seeing more of the Red Planet in V.

I love all the films, but as with any artistic work that one spends a certain amount of time thinking about, all of them have small things that I would like to have seen done differently. In Part IV, I miss the breadth and depth of different supporting characters seen in I-III. Excluding Jebediah, there is only one major newly-introduced role in IV, and calling her "major" is generous. Jennifer is probably the shallowest, least-interesting, go-nowhere character in the whole series. She seems to exist only to give Reggie something to bounce dialogue against, and then spit spheres out of her norks. That was a cool scene, but if you think back to II, when Alchemy turned out to be a minion, she was developed to the point that it came as a shock. Jennifer has only two or three scenes before she is "outed", and we never really find out anything about her. Overall, I understand why they did this: they wanted to focus on the central characters, which is good, and give the sense of an abandoned countryside. But due to this, the movie kinda has the vibe that is like the aftermath of a party, when almost everyone has left except for the few hardcore drinkers who arrive first and leave last. You might love those guys, but the vibe is not the same as when the party is in full swing. I also miss the Gravers (who only get a brief cameo) and the lack of any new Sphere kills, which is shameful for a movie that begins with hundreds of them flying into the camera.

I see both the fight with the demon cop and the thing with Jennifer as two comic reliefs.
The rest of the movie needs Reggie to easy things up, as lots of serious stuff are in focus for the most of the time.
But, yes it could have been more woven into the rest of the story - since "two movies in one" can give the flick a slit personality. =)

I miss not seeing the purported scene involving Tim being lunch meat for those freezer zombies. As much as Don wanted him to be a reflection of younger Mike, he was a good idea on paper but a bad character in the movie. Kind of a precursor to Justin in Turbo: A Power Ranger Movie and the subsequent show.
