too bad no one is offering the japan laserdisc rip for free. there is a guy selling them at his site, bootlegs for sale is a no no especially here on these forums.

I refuse to pay money for something that should be shared with fans for free, or with just blanks and postage costs.

People who sell these preservations are the ones who will eventually get people in trouble who do it for love and make no profit.

supposedly this film was shot 2:35:1 anamorphic and even had a 70mm release with six track sound.

all you get on the dvd is a vhs quality fullscreen rip with a tame dolby 2.0.

the uk release has better cover art very much like the laserdisc cover, you can find it on amazons uk site but not in high res.

I like this movie i have it on vhs, Mark Hamill is awesome in this movie.

I also have the time runner vhs and wonder why there is no dvd.

 

I have a rip of that Laserdisc (and it is in 2:35:1), however, it has japanese subs over the image and it needs color correction. Would anyone be interested using this and commiting to a preservation project? I don't have the time to do it myself.
