Taking a day’s break from my trilogy transfer, I’m doing a DVD of The Making of Slipstream because this is one documentary that hasn’t been released on DVD at all (they really should’ve put it on the widescreen DTS R2 release), which has some big ties to Star Wars, starring Mark Hamill & produced by Gary Kurtz who also produced Star Wars.

25 mins long, it was made at the time of filming so all the interviews are from 1989, the back of the VHS box even says “For free distribution only. Not for sale or hire.” and where did I get it? eBay…

I’m doing PAL & NTSC versions (it was filmed in PAL) and it’ll be completed tonight, unfortunately I won’t be able to post anything out just yet, I’m ill should be better later in the week though, hopefully.

LOL...I remember this movie. It was a bit slow, but I liked the concepts. Hamill's character was quite unlike Luke.

I didn't know Kurtz had done it, but then again, I was very young when I watched it.

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

and the official region 1 release was crap quality, a good film like this deserves better.

There is also a bootled dvd but no official release of time runner.

There is an offcial release of the guyver.

If you ever get that Time Runner disc, please send it to my friend Justin. =D

I this thread still active?  I would REALLY LIKE to get a copy of The Making of Slipstream...  Anyone who has a copy of it, please PM me.  I have a list for trade.  (Not for profit, of course.)

This was one of those films that had tons of potential-great director, great cast, great producer, and I just can't help but wonder what happened with this production.
