It didn't cost much, thankfully. Got it today.

Took a while to get rolling, as all three reels needed to be rewound. The projector also tortured me by munching up the leader on two reels.

I hate it when that happens. You cringe and cross your fingers hoping it will work...

This print is really pink and badly scratched. In spite of the WB/Kinney logo, it's the post '77 cut so far. (Watching this slightly out of order, so I haven't gotten to SEN scene with the kids yet to be 100% certain.) Curiously, the final reel has a WB television logo on the end, but nothing has been cut for tv.

I will attempt some screencaps from the DV tape, but it won't be a pretty sight!

Please do! Grindhouse THX!!
