Ok… so idk if anyone else noticed or not but the recent ROTLD BD from Shout Factory has it’s end credits edited to match the replacement song they couldn’t aquire for this release. The song in question is The Damn - “Dead Beat Dance” and the song they replaced it with is The Straw Dogs - “Young, Fast Iranians”. It wouldn’t be such a big deal but the thing is… the new BD looks fantastic and has better framing than the previous releases and less damage and just more detail thanks to the new scan. The UK Second Sight BD looks great but is not as nice looking and has too much chopped off in terms of framing. However, it does include the complete original soundtrack in PCM. Anyone here interested in fixing the end credits on the SF BD? I have both the SF and SS UK BD and between them both it could easily be fixed by someone who knows what they’re doing. I am not quite that advanced in editing or I’d do it myself.

Hey, the guy with the awesome user name and great taste in things is back!
And I fully support this idea. I’d do it, but don’t have the ShoutFactory BD yet!

Woah, it’s not often that you hear of a movie’s soundtrack being tampered with. I’d love to see this done. We could get a complete version with the original soundtrack and everything.

Hey, Guys! Nice to hear from you. I own both the Second Sight UK BD (has complete original unaltered soundtrack in PCM form) and the newest Shout Factory BD that looks much better. It has more information in the picture and is nicely cleaned up. I could provide the BDs if need be. Let me know.

PS: ray_afraid: Hey, long time no see, eh? haha

No takers in all this time? Haha I suppose I need to develope my editing skills a little to go ahead with the project personally. I still would love to see this finished. Needs it’s original Orion intro edited back in too.

I only have the MGM BD and Shout! BD for The Return of the Living Dead. Was gonna import the UK Second Sight UK BD for the OG cinematic audio in lossless. Always seems like it’s quite expensive.
Glad someone wants to take the better image from the SHOUT and then put the OG cinematic track with it.
Would make a loverly BD25.

Yes that is the plan. Waiting to either brush up on my editing or someone else to accept the job. Haha
