I know you intend to make this project NTSC 4:3, but do you know where I can find an anamorphic video of the awesome T2 teaser? It is only 4:3 on my french T2 DVD and slightly cropped.

There was a TV spot teaser for "Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear" where Leslie Nielsen spoofed the Terminator with the "I'll be back" line and his left eye glowing red. If someone has this on tape it would be great to add this to the project.

Besides, the Anchor Bay 2002 DVD and the recent Disney UK Zone 2 release are really poor transfers, so I don't see the point at using them as sources for a dvd preservation.

This project is only interesting if we manage to get our hands on a much better transfer. I was hoping for some recent tv airing captured with a dvd recorder or even some hdtv sources (my expectations are a bit high, I know). But I remember watching the film a couple of years ago on french television and it was much better than the crappy dvd's availables.

That's great news!

I'm glad that I'm not the only one interested in a decent dvd of this film.

The three comic books would be a really great addition as a bonus in a gallery features.

It is the european poster. Here is a high-res version of the picture

That would make a great dvd cover don't you think?

That must be the dvd released by Anchor Bay a few years ago. It's NTSC allright, but it's a single layer dvd with no anamorphic transfer. It's currently out of print too.

I always have some very fond memories about this Walt Disney production. Alas, there are still no decent dvd available. I bought the uk zone 2. Image format is 2.35 but like Star Wars OT, it isn’t an anamorphic transfer. The picture is very grainy too. And zero bonus, not even a trailer.

Does this film has been aired on tv recently? Is there any hope to get a better copy somehow?

Dvdrama, a french website, has juste posted a short review of the upcoming dvd's here..

Alas, there is no screen capture because Lucasfilm seems to have forbidden the french press to do so.

I don't have time to translate the whole review, but they talk mainly about the poor video quality with compression problems, spots and grainy picture. 5/10

One of my Fav movies. I watched it just the other day.

This post reminded me of my excitement when I heard the Original unaltered trilogy was coming out on dvd before GL crushed my dreams by not making them anamorphic.

According to this article on a french website, the Z2 french dvd's of the OT will be anamorphic with 16/9 compatibility.

Well, I can't think of a lot to ask about given that Toby's view while inside Jabba was pretty limited. But I'm definitely curious to know what other roles he may have played in the film, if any. Often with extras in the production (especially little people) they are called upon to play other bit parts or perform other functions as well.

I wonder if Toby was there when they shot the sequence where Jabba's dancer fell into the Rancor's pitt half naked.

From the Star Wars novelization published in 1977 :

"They're coming through!" Luke groaned. The Princess turned carefully to stare across the gap. "This must be a single- unit bridge, with the controls only on the other side." Reaching up to the point at the panel holding the unreachable controls, Luke's hand caught on something at his waist. A frustrated glance downward revealed the cause¡ªand engendered a bit of practical insanity. The cable coiled tightly in small loops was thin and fragile seeming, but it was general military-issue line and would have supported Chewbacca's weight easily. It certainly ought to hold Leia and himself. Pulling the cable free of the waist catch, he gauged its length, matching it against the width of the abyss. This should span the distance with plenty to spare. "What now?" the Princess inquired curiously. Luke didn't reply. Instead, he removed a small but heavy power unit from the utility belt of his armor and tied one end of the cable around it. Making sure the wrapping was secure; he stepped as close to the edge of their uncertain perch as he dared. Whirling the weighted end of the cord in increasing circles, he let it arc across the gorge. It stuck an outcropping of cylindrical conduits on the other side and fell downward. With forced patience he pulled the loose line back in, then recoiled it for another try.

Ooo, off topic, but if there's a place to get the 1977 Oscars, they've got to have 1968 too, right? I've never seen Stanley Kubrick's acceptance speech for 2001.

2001 wasn't even nominated for best picture. It only earned best special effects. So, I don't think there was a Kubrick's acceptance speech at all.

Yeah, but they kill everyone on the planet before leaving! Quite unlike the "Star Wars" stormtroopers, these blokes seem to never miss!
