And there may have even been a second run of 70mm prints with the revised standard cut. The collectible film cells that were sold in the mid-90s include frames of shots that were supposedly not in the 70mm version. I’ve combed over a ton of the cells on eBay and found that the Eastman film stock edge codes printed in from the 65mm internegative (blue on black) have two circles, meaning the film stock that the previous generation was printed onto was manufactured in 1979. (The cells themselves were newly made, the actual positive print stock has 1995 edge codes.)

Maybe other countries got the revised version on 70mm, since it was released overseas later…
