Oh. My. God. Freaking everything is here. This is truly the Holy Grail. I’m just skimming through. Violence all intact. The 1917 title card is there. Vito revenge scenes are IN ORDER instead of being moved later during Part II like in the 1901-1980 version. Anthony’s ceremony at the beginning of Part II is there. Just freaking BEAUTIFUL. I can’t believe I’m actually seeing this.
Another reason to do a disc: the TV version had a different opening for 2.
Since this one has a 5.1 track (restored!!), does anyone have the original PCM track from the laserdisc? I’d be interested in syncing it for the release.
