Anyone know if a widescreen preservation of Toy Soldiers has been done. The only DVD is full screen. Apparently some laserdiscs were widescreen.
Like this one: http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/07214/84816/Toy-Soldiers-(1991)
It would have to be changed to animorphic widescreen, but anything would be better than fullscreen. I’m surprised a DVD was never made since Sean Astin is so popular after LOTR.
thanks …
The PAL UK DVD is stated do be anamorphic widescreen. Also the Dutch and the Australian Discs stated do be 1.85:1 anamorph ...

Ohhh that could be good. My Oppo DVD player is region FREE
this Austrailian site says widescreen.

That happens in the USA a lot. When a film is a complete turkey the studio just dumps an unremastered pan and scan transfer to disc.
Or if you are lucky you get non anamorphic letterbox like the box office bomb the Rocketeer.

This is on my list of PAL DVD's to convert to NTSC, movie only though, I don't want or need the different languages and subtitles, is this movie any good? I have not seen it yet.
I've seen it a million times on VHS and TV in the 1990's. LOVE IT then. I haven't seen it since. I've ordered an AU version. Hopefully it is 16x9 as the specs say and it is a dual layer disc. I'd hate for it to be crammed on a single layer.
The AU and the GB Disc are stated to be on DVD 5 the Dutch Disc is stated to be DVD 9... The NL Version has less subtitles than UK and AU (both the same) but the NL Disc is stated to contain some trailers.
But the ofdb.de might be wrong on this differences. I don't think the NL Version is avaible anywhere... Never saw it in Venlo in one of the stores...
"I kill Gandalf." - Igor, Dork Tower
There are 1080i 16x9 versions floating around.
I have been trying to get an original copy of this movie ON VHS but the only copy I can find has been DIGITALLY MASTERED and looks like crap!!!!
I have this movie recorded off analog cable in the 90s (SLP mode (not the best)) and its got subtitles for most of the spanish and is beautiful.....
WHEN THEY PUT IT ON VHS THEY REMOVED THE SUBTITLES AND DIGITALLY COMPROMISED IT!!
I CANT FIND ANY VHS COPIES OF THE ORIGINAL ANALOGUE MOVIE and it pisses me off!!!!!!
I love this movie!! (But I guess im happy to have an analog copy @ all!! (That hasnt been digitally me$$ed with))
There's a UK release for this on blu-ray.
