Dino De Laurentis? Ahhh. I thought you were implying you didn't like Paul in that one, either. (Though I'll admit that Stewart was a -perfect- Gurney. Even if I thought the 'weirding modules' were a tad hokey.)
It had no notions of keeping the story intact; in the AJ Dune, Leto would have been castrated in a bullfight, and Jessica conceived Paul with a drop of Leto's blood. There was also something about the emperor living on a planet of gold with an identical robot clone, and big reality-altering shafts of light emanating from Arrakis causing it to turn into some wandering, collective-mind world.
Chunks of this found their way into Jodorowsky's later Metabarons comic, safe from meddling with the Dune franchise.
For my part, I find the Lynch Dune amusing, at least. The costuming and scenery were generally pretty good, although the Sardaukar looked cooler in the Miniseries (as long as you got past the big poofy chef-hat-things). Sardaukar in the Lynch Dune looked like angry Devo fans or something.

They turned Paul into Shinji Ikari. >_>
