Out of interest has this new HD release been advertised anywhere, or just popped up as an extra purchase option out of the blue?

Only in the UK AFAIK. It seems Entertainment Film Distributors (who are still around) are the main producer and current rights holder for everywhere but the US. Slipstream did get an extremely limited theatrical run here by a small distributor that not only went belly up not long after release, but also allegedly did not file a proper copyright and thus went PD shortly afterwards.

Didn’t Entertainment Film have a successful run on VHS and dvd releases as EIV, Entertainment In Video, with the almost the
same logo.

EIV is Entertainment Films home video division and were the ones who put out proper releases as Slipstream was always under copyright in the UK.

It’s possible the 1996 Uruguay act could take it out of PD in the US since it’s not even that old and was copyrighted as an international production.

I have noticed some ghosting on the dark blue glider night scenes around 47 minutes in, or maybe thats alway been there?

Super bummed I can’t see it but this gives me hope a blu ray release of some kind is on the way.

Does the new streaming print open with any logos, or does it cut straight to the opening credits?

It opens with the ENTERTAINMENT Film Distributors logo.

Any chance a rip of this exists? I know it ain’t the ideal way to get a hold of it but I would love to see this new restoration. If/when it gets a release in North America I will be getting it day one.

If anyone is located outside the UK and wants to watch the new restoration, feel free to DM me. Pretty sure the film and its restorations are in public domain outside the UK until proven otherwise.

Did anyone get ahold of the LD? I can sync the audio to the remastered version - if its any better

Has the audio from the streaming release had complaints?

I don’t know about complaints, but the audio from the laserdisc would be lossless.
here is a comparison of the video of the US vs UK streaming versions.

The audio is mono on the amzn .

if the LD is not available there’s plenty of dvd versions out there with the stereo mix

I pm’d you, ifjg.

Thank you.

I bought a laserdisc copy from ebay.
Having lossless stereo tracks (with dolby surround encoding)
will be much better than a lossy mono track.

Hey SLIPSTREAM fans,

The Slipstream soundtrack is back in print on CD from Dragon Domain records. I have no affiliation with them, just thought I’d let people know.
