Bumping again, only to ask if someone did in fact record that broadcast of Race For Your Life - you see, 4:3 is indeed the original aspect ratio for BOTH films - I have a 4:3 1080p .mkv of Bon Voyage but the uncropped 4:3 version of Race For Your Life is elusive as hell.

I have a 16:9 1080p .mkv of it (obviously cropped from 4:3, which means it’s lost almost a fifth of the footage!) but for some reason it’s almost flat impossible to find the original at that resolution, if at all. If it weren’t for that cam-cap a few posts back I’d think it didn’t even exist!

Thing is, the DVDs of both films not only crudely crop down to 16:9, but they’re also only at 720p which actually looks downright BLURRY compared to the 1080p versions. (It’s been mentioned a few times that the new master-copies are actually at 4K though, which I think we’d all LOVE to get our hands on…)
