Waterworld Sci-fi TV cut

Is there a better quality source than the crappy 2nd disc on the dvd special edition? something in HD maybe?

 

The link in the listing is not working for me

I remember seeing the movie on the TV channel 2BE two years ago. I didn't record that, but...

1) It probably wasn't this 'Sci-fi TV cut' you speak of, anyway

2) Would have Dutch hardsubs

3) I only had analog TV back then, so it would've been a letterboxed DVD capture gone through analog

Though I have no idea what this specific TV cut actually is,

maybe I might remember if it had the differences?

And obviously I have no idea how it even looks like on the official DVD.

If this ever reruns again on 2BE, I might be able to record it digitally,

and now the channel is also in H264. (which is a huge improvement over

the old MPEG2 stream, because it being low bitrate)

Though I'd need to be reminded, since I don't go check their

TV guide that often. It would be anamorphic, but it would

be hardsubbed in Dutch and not in HD, and like I said,

it probably isn't this TV cut you're looking for.

I am still looking for a Bravo or E Network cut broadcast years ago that had a hybrid cut of the film, it used the theatrical and inserted extended footage for the fist half of the film. I had a copy but lost tape it actually existed.

The Ulysses Cut is probably still around. It's fullscreen and about Laserdisc quality, but it's watchable. It's not entirely the Sci-Fi version though, it's has every single "deleted" scene he could get his hands on, from several different sources.

I still find it hard to believe that the official release can look that bad. Has anyone ever uploaded any clips of it in motion?
