Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Theatrical Cut

The best I've ever scrounged up was that old DVD that Warner Bros. released that was non-anamoprhic and had the film on both sides.  It was the very definition of cheap.

They've subsequently released a special edition DVD and Blu-ray but only have that wretched extended cut.  

Anyone know of a way to get a nice transfer of the theatrical cut, perhaps somewhere outside of North America?

I prefer the extended as it was more reynolds cut and less of Costner's ego's cut

Yes. There was at one point, but it's not very good.  I deleted it a while back.

The EE does not really harm the film, in my opinion, but I can see why people would want the theatrical.  Are there alternate takes like Amadeus?  If not, editing the BD would be the way to go.

There are about 3 alternate takes which are not in the EE as in the TC.

Got the HDTV version for you, it is not stellar and not in english but it is a start with some colour correction and a play plus an english soundtrack we are in business.

 

Damn, did they have a pink setting for scanning in the 90's????? 

Ugly looking thing!

Going to try a few changes and make it more rich and golden, and also make it look more like film and less like video (I can make the original available and take ideas on CC)

Nasty pink

Colour Correct

Close to final colour/lighting

I thought I was the only one hoping for a better version of the theatrical cut.

The whole devil worship plotline is awful.

Anyone have an English 5.1 or preferably 2.0 mix I can try and sync?

Just a heads up, when we cut that non-anamorphic, DD2.0 release of the theatrical version in the U.S., the U.K. release was anamorphic with DD5.1.

There's probably PAL speed up, but a PAL to NTSC conversion of this disc would probably work quite well.

Edit: Scratch that:

Alternatively, there appears to be an English R2 version of the film that is single-sided dual-layered, in PAL with a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack. So what is the catch? The British version features the almost requisite BBFC cuts, removing 29 seconds from the movie.
