A certain someone is asking some questions and providing some info on the workprint. I'll put this info here as it might help understanding of what exactly the workprint is.

"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.
