Return of The Living Dead Part II

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know if there is a 1080i or 1080p version floating around on the net? I have a 720p version but really want a 1080 version, I would love to make a BD of this to go with the original, I already have the LD to get the original PCM from so this is not a problem and after I have seen what we could do with Fright Night Part II I think this could end up being really nice, well hopefully there is something out there.

Thanks

Man...this and RoTLD 3 are at the top of my list for most wanted horror BDs right now.  Fright Night II is on the list too but Team Blu is already taking care of that for us lol.

DJ, that's excellent news that you have the LD to pull the original PCM from seeing as much like the original film, it was also rescored for subsequent home releases. 

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any 1080 version floating around on the internet.  It does appear that amazon has a HD version available as well but I'm not sure about resolution or if its the same as the itunes version.

I would love to see Team Blu tackle this one and Part 3 when their tight project list opens up a bit.  Here's hoping....

part 3 in hd is only available in the r-rated cut. the uncut version is only available on dvd & laserdisc. please, don't mention the horrendous german bd. yes, it's uncut, but the quality is below everything. it looks a 480x360 lowbitrate xvid upconversion to 1080p *yikes*

Thanks for info, zeropc.  It appears that Part 3 is only a pipe dream at this point.  I was hoping that maybe there was an uncut digital version available somewhere else. 

Oh and agreed on the German/Austrian version, I have heard the same thing about this being a really bad upconvert although I have heard that the actual German release is also edited down by nearly 10-15 minutes in addition to being a really bad upconvert *double yikes*

It appears that the only hope now is for a Arrow or Second Sight release in the UK.  If that happens there's a good chance that it will be uncut as well.

There's an HDX version on VUDU for sale or rent, as well.

Would love a bluray trilogy of the first 3 but by the sounds of it above it might be a tough one.

That's good to know but useless if no one can cap it, damn I was hoping to do this project but if there are no 1080 versions on the net anywhere I am afraid this will be a no go.
