Project info:
“No Escape” is a forgotten action movie of the '90s; albeit it’s not a masterpiece, it still deserves an high definition restoration; the PAL DVDs are horrible, as they are cropped at 1.85:1 - while the OAR was 2.35:1 - with a quite bad quality…
Video is taken from an HDTV broadcast, 1920x1080 2.35:1 25fps; it is slowed down to 23.976fps; initial credits are replaced using the original ones from laserdisc, as the main logo title; laserdisc video is used also to replace the logo part that intrudes into the picture and so is used as a “patch”!
Main English audio track is taken from laserdisc, PCM Dolby Surround; it is converted from 44.1KHz to 48KHz to be BD compliant; all five languages (plus English) are taken from the PAL DVD; they are all Dolby Digital 2.0 tracks; they are converted from 25fps to 23.976fps.
Subtitles for all five languages are from PAL DVD.
A 28 minutes “making of” is included; it is converted from PAL 25fps to HD 23.976fps; audio is english and subtitles are included for all the five languages.
