…it’s brighter than either of them. It looks pretty grainy to me…
Maybe this is same source or just close to your record.

Probably only with Russian audio.
I don’t have it.
Sorry for the delay! As promised, here’s some screencaps and I’ll share the rest of the equivalents that are shown here: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Predator-Blu-ray/316/#Screenshots
This is definitely (and thankfully) from a different master than the one that was used on the UHE. To my eyes, it looks quite close to the MPEG-2 version but has considerably more grain and slightly more detail - although that could be down to how the MPEG-2 screencap was obtained.
Opinions?

Those screens look excellent!! The people actually look like people instead of wax figurines!
Those first 3 from the trailer look so cool!
Super 8mm Derann
SUPER 8 FILM REVIEW by BFCC - British Film Collectors Convention
A professional film director; “it is amazing that this sort of quality is obtainable from Super 8.”
http://www.bfcc.biz/predator.html
Quote:
The super 8 prints were printed “open mask”; ie. same as the 35mm negative to 35mm print and were projected in theatres with a 1.85 to 1 mask in the projector gate.
Picture quality is just superb with pin sharp focus throughout and excellent colours although with a very slight blue tint, but that is to be expected with most Derann features nowadays.
…and have to admit I agree it is up there with the sharpest of super 8 print releases I have seen, accompanied with a dynamic stereo recording to enhance the viewing experience. …and left me with the same impression and impact as it did in the actual cinema back in 1987!
I don’t recall anything creeping into the top and bottom of frame on “Predator” that you really shouldn’t see (like microphones, etc.), although I do remember that on the heat camera effect “Predator Vision” shots, you ocasionally see words like so-and-so VIDEO, etc. in the extreme bottom of frame!!!

Do I sense a potential preservation waiting in the wings? 😄

Judging by these photos it looks like a bit on the sides are missing, but not enough to make a huge difference. If this were scanned, it’d be cool to see it cropped to the proper widescreen ratio (maybe at 1.66:1 if 1.85:1 ends up removing too much image).

We already have 4k BD - perfect home video release for 1.85:1.
So, I’m more for preserve this film as uncropped - Full Frame.

Do you see how much is lost? Sure, the whole frames were not intended to be seen by us, “mere” mortals (read: director’s composition and such…) but hey, if they are available somehow, why can’t we have a chance to see them?
Full Frame film cells Vs 1.33:1 DVD

It’s almost IMAX like. And LOL at Arnold’s grenade boobs. 😉
Where were you in '77?

Is the 4K master actually used for the standard BD? Cause I can’t do anything in 4K.
And I didn’t mean as a replacement of releasing the scan open matte, obviously the full super8 frame would be the priority for most people. I just think that, if it looks good enough, watching it in widescreen would still be great (and for me personally, preferable 😃).

Nope, it’s the 2010 Ultimate Hunter disc.
Do yourself a favor and get in on the 4K UHD action - that one looks amazing 😃
