Can someone look into getting the 35mm prints of the naked gun trilogy blu rays are subpar.

Maybe not so much naked gun 1 but definitely the sequels grain reduction and not much care is pathetic. I’d really like to see someone get the film prints of all three and do a 4k scan of them if possible doesn’t have to have any Dolby vision or hdr just a 4k scan if possible.

Paramount will probably release a 4k eventually. Likely a dnr mess but u never know. They did a fine job with ferris bueller 4k .

Speaking of ng3 that’s the only one that hasn’t got a laserdisc treatment yet .

Well it’s a toss up with them sadly with every Addams family and Wayne’s world you get planes trains and automobiles.

The Naked Gun films aren’t exactly the amazing visual experiences that the Blu-Rays are just so unwatchable. I mean I just watch them on DVD. I doubt a 35mm scan would be the head and shoulders improvment that we’re all clammering for.

Please stop asking for stuff like this and fixing DNR and Dolby Vision and whatever else.

This review of police squad the complete tv series blu ray set basically makes it sound like the naked gun trilogies blu rays are complete garbage. https://bluray.highdefdigest.com/81692/policesquadthecompleteseries.html

You shouldn’t blindly take a single review as a definitive take on quality, esspecially when they don’t supplement it with any visual comparisons. Also the only mention of the Naked Gun movies is this:

It’s honestly a shame the movies don’t look quite this good on Blu-ray.

which doesn’t exactly equate to “complete garbage”

Likely you’ll be staring at film damage instead of dnr if u got a print anyhow

I just looked up their review of the first movie and if the review for it and the even worse reviews for the sequels are any indication. they used the dvd scans which might as well have been upscales.

If ya don’t have them u should see for urself, personally I think they look pretty good , I didn’t notice much dnr. They got decent reviews on bluray.com
Universal has released much worse looking blurays.

Let me guess it was a case of it was used for the opticals wasn’t it if so I guess I could let it slide it kinda comes with the territory of older films no way around it really. I just wish it could line up with the video quality of the tv series on blu ray which is a good deal older than the films. 😦

FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF isn’t on 4K UHD! MADNESS!
Digital and Streaming don’t fucking count either.
NAKED GUN, NAKED GUN 2½, and NAKED GUN 33⅓ would be great to 35mm scans. In 1080p AND 4K.

Are you saying you’d be willing to update the naked gun trilogy if you could find way to gain access to the film prints etc.?

It doesn’t matter anyway the trilogy might actually be getting uhd blu ray because the dreaded reboot is planned with Liam Neeson ironic considering this is mainly a Star Wars forum.

Why are you asking in so many places? At least wait a week between each time you ask.
