I have found a few more "quirks" with various videos in my PAL VHS collection. Here are the old and new ones along with a few screenshots to show what I have found.


1 Wrong audio

The 1987, 1988 and 1989 Fullscreen versions of ANH do not have the Threepio tractor beam line so therefore do not have the recognised 1985 Ben Burtt remix sound track.

How can something be wrong audio if it is the 1977 strereo 35mm mix?

If anything its the 85 that is wrong audio

Good point!!!

I suppose the correct statement is that it is the incorrect audio for the release year of the VHS tape. For once, it looks like they did us a favour by extending the life of the 1977 mix.

The trouble is that after seeing Star Wars at the correct speed on numerous NTSC releases of all variants, ALL Star Wars in PAL sounds wrong as I really notice the 4% speed up!!!
