Going back to the OP, has anyone else made the "Top Choice" edits for FOD and FAFDM? I bought the German and US BDs for each and made the appropriate edits:
FOD:
- Removed embarrassing Tobis distributor title
- Replaced German titles with English titles - adjusting the faded color of the latter so the reds matched
- Did not replace ALL titles of the German version, such as the co-stars which listed their full names in the German version (such as Siegfried Rupp instead of S. Rupp)
- Used US title card for Technicolor/Techniscope. The German one is too cropped on the left.
- Ending still includes the Italian "FINE". The equivalent shot from the US Blu-ray is too ugly to use.
- Does not include MGM logo - film begins and ends with restoration credits
- English DTS-HD MA Mono only. I didn't include the 5.1 because I didn't see the point.
FAFDM:
- Removed Tobis distributor title
- Replaced German intro card about bounty killers with English intro card
- English DTS-HD MA Mono
I have a Mondo BD coming in the mail in the next week or so. I plan on editing it as well to insert in the English titles and text from the US remaster, and sync it to TheHutt's mono mix.
