Just saw a 35mm print of the Road Warrior last night at the American Film Institute in Silver Spring,

Maryland (USA):

I had just watched the new avc encoded blu-ray with Jonno's LD audio capture

and I was looking for what the color timing was on this print. Whether it was the

old DVD/LD's yellow color timing or the new bluer color timing of the blu-ray.

I printed out these color comparisons from blu-ray.com so I could be sure I

knew what I was looking for:

Long story short , even though the first reel had gone a little pink, it was clear that the old DVD's color timing is the original, correct color timing. I asked about the print after and it was an original for the early 80s.
