I hate to do this but my bootleg version is MUCH better than the DVD I got from Rikter. The quality that I got was horrendous. Not to mention the fact that there is more than 2 hours of footage on this DVD which can severely reduce the quality. I'm giong to put the version I have on VHS to DVD-R.
Can you describe the version you have? I know the one I've got on DVD-R isn't the "Angrysun" thing Rikter has, so I wonder if it's the same... I would post a screenshot of mine, but my crappy old DVD-ROM doesn't read DVD-Rs... Anyway, here are some characteristics of mine:
- it starts with R/G/B bars visible for about 1/3 second; then, after about two seconds of blackness, the Falcon blasting off into space, with some visible distortion and a few seconds of "wobbling" sound. A huge video player PLAY is visible and disappears as Chewie starts roaring.
- when the transvestite robot cook is shown in closeup, "her" dress is pink; when it's smaller, it looks washed out and is rather like pale violet.
- in the virual porn sequence, just before the naked "angel" sings "How can we lose this minute", or something like that, the zoomed image of her face sort of jumps-jumps-jumps, like a game with very low framerate... I don't know if it's this transfer, or something intentional?
- the "radioactive" instruments held by the gay rock band that the Imperial officer watches are very blurred in many shots and look more like bright pink blobs.
- when the beatnik band plays and one of the Stormtroopers elbows another, a white line "cuts" them for about a second.
- when the dolt pretending to be Tarkin-lite announces a curfew, the picture goes to hell for about a second; there's noise, lines, his face becomes a red blob. It returns to normal as he says "all inhabitants".
- it ends with 20th Century Fox TV logo
