"A workprint was produced a few months before the project was taken from Dick and put onto 2 U-Matic cassettes for exhibiting to would-be composers, financers etc, and also so the crew could view it. (I was actually left in charge of this workprint over night. Oh if only i had a time machine!) The reason I ask is that we produced a HELL of a lot of footage after this workprint was produced as we were on our 'final push'. Dick spent a week storyboarding the unshot sections of the movie to be inserted into the working cut. I don't think a U-MATIC was produced of THAT workprint. It's a shame that i can't see all of the versions you have because I could tell you exactly was Dick's work and what was added after it was taken away."
Me:
And, let me guess, the break between the two U-Matic tapes the workprint was stored on was ...
Tape 2 starting when the Thief passes by the many language signs going for the Buddha Ruby.
