Rock & Rule (1986 MGM Laserdisc)

Author

A rip of the 1986 MGM Laserdisc of 1983’s Rock & Rule (Also known as “Ring of Power” outside the US) which sadly is a pan and scan master (same as the 1984 VHS) but it has the best light transfer compared to the crushed blacks of the DVD and Blu-ray. DM me for link to rip.

Sorry, but if you’re going to share a file of a film you should have watched it at least merely once in some form in your life, yet I’d wager you know nothing about this movie, Luckykennedy. I mean, do you even know that this film is animated? Do you even know that is has sound?

J/K … I’ve been following (but not posting in) your R&R threads on Reddit for a couple years now. (I know this isn’t your first Rock & Rule post here on OT, ala “All the different versions”.) I’m hoping someone miraculously finds, and gives you a 35mm print of Rock & Rule to scan+remaster as it’s obvious no one would put more care into that than you would. (Too bad about the crushed shadow detail and such on the DVD+BD. :SadFace: )

I don’t have anything super to contribute here beyond my silliness-plus above so hitting “Post” now.

LightWave = fun times with gfx for me 😃

Is this the US laserdisc?

Edit: Nevermind the Embassy release is the Japanese. The one I’ve been looking for.

Yes, it is the US Disc. Both it and the Japanese use the same cut MGM made and was later slapped with the “Ring of Power” title in 1985 which was the version used for the Blu-ray but with the original title sourced from a tape.

I wish I could scan a 35mm print. I’ve heard of one being sold but I have no clue weather or not its a 1983 print or a 1985 “Ring of Power” print. I am looking for a Japanese LD which I hope someone here can help with. I had to wait a year for a rip of the US Laserdisc.
