Maybe its a matter of choice but i really like the colors on the criterion Bond's but especially DR No. There is no way to say if the colors are correct. When ever a transfer from film to video is done the operator makes the color decisions or tweaks if any. At least as far as i know the way they did it in the old days.
The restored CAV boxset of Thunderball i really like the color on too. But if i had to wager a guess they timed it with a IB tech print for reference as it kind of has that sort of look. Not sure about the DVD as i don't have the older one.
Live and let die clv letterbox in the US was pressed twice. The earlier had the defective audio. When buying it on ebay or lddb the sellers wont usually help you in finding out which version they are selling so you could end up with a ruined bad disc. This title had the isolated score so that was the only reason i tried to find an unaffected copy to no avail.
I am led to understand that the older bond catalog pre Brosnan had only 3 ac3 releases i wonder if captain solo has those. He said he had the rarest ones and those were the rarest and last pressed ones in the USA. Though the world is not enough japan laser is so rare that it sells for thousands in comparison.
Little to no difference between TWINE and the DVD except having it on laser to brag about. Unlike say X-men which had a different cropping of the picture on the laserdisc than the DVD.
There was no DTS flavor separate release for that either. Unlike Goldeneye and tomorrow never dies which both got dts and dolby ac3 in japan and the states. The USA even got a pan and scan laserdisc release of goldeneye i still laugh about that why in gods name would you get that instead of the letterbox release,lol.
I don't have the early foxvideo releases of the catalog titles with the mono mixes of the earlier films retracked into stereo and usually bad laser rot, and time compressed and made pan and scanned and i don't know anyone who has those laserdiscs. They seem to be avoided for having legendarily bad transfers or something. I always wondered if those were the same as the ones hbo showed in the early to mid 80's.
