Since I have been behind on getting these out to you all I have decided to release them. Yes for Upload!!!

I am currently digging out some of my treasures which includes the KCOP Superman to come in NTSC.

NightHawks and Rare and Uncut Movie Collector presents

Original Network Television Edits

Some of these movies would have been lost forever if it hadn’t been for someone with a BETA or a VHS tape.

Starting in 1977 NBC kicked of the syndication of one and two day movie slots for blockbusters. These movies often were edited, extended and sometimes sadly cut for what was considered violent material.
However, the best parts are the extended cuts of movies such as Superman: The Movie and then ofcourse there are some really bad ones such as with horror films.

In the 80’s Television versions or edits became something of an art form. One particular edit I love is John Carpenters THE THING. The network added footage and even created a alternate start and ending. Sadly however most of he gore was cut. But you can’t have cake and eat it two. Some of the Televsion edits were also of bad movies such as Earth girls are easy.

Another Televison cut was Blade Runner which Rikter already released my transfer a few months back. See the “Blksvn Release Thread”

In the 90’s it continued with Waterworld and Far and Away and even Needful things which was specially edited by the director.

Sadly Today, only a few have been edited for television or extended. This includes recently the Harry Potters.

For fan preservation this is I think a forgotten art form ( and sometime crappy art form at that)

Releases - first up!!!

June 30th - <span class=“Bold”>JAWS</span> - The original televsion broadcast - 3rd Gen+ recrding from my VHS archives from a trade in early 1990.
With most movies, a lot more footage is filmed than actually ends up in the final product. JAWS is no exception, with a large number of scenes that were cut, many due to the fact that the mechanical shark rarely worked as planned. Some of these scenes turned up in the ABC television version of JAWS that aired back in the late 1970s-early 1980s. Many more of these “lost” scenes are shown on the 20th Anniversary Laserdisc version of JAWS. However, the original broadcast has scenes and footage not shown on recent television airings or on the 25th or 30th DVD deleted scenes section.
Thus is a true one time television version.
presented here in all it’s glory.

coming up un no particular time frame.

June 30th - JAWS

Does anyone have this? I was digging through a bunch of tapes and it seems I recorded it with commercials.

It was recorded May 17th `1999 - complete w/ commercials - there is a commercial of two idiots sitting outside of a theatre talking Star Wars in a tent and it says only two days left… There is also a guy who looks like one of OCP movies friends from his Star Wars hype video

It’s really just a bunch of really silly stuff not having anything to do with the movie, but never the less it’s a Star wars Preservation thingy…lol

ANYONE???

SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE INTERNATIONAL SALKIND CUT.

This is the complete cut - Rikter tried to fix it and couldn’t, it had something to do with being a old recording AND JUMPED EVERYWHERE AND WE COULDN’T STABALIZE IT, couldn’t play on the newer VCR’s - I tried everything and then I went to the GoodWill and walla I found and old RCA 6 that plays it.

It is virtually the same cut as RIKTERS Australian Version. ( which btw!! he did an awesome job on)

Colors are much better and no lines and rough looking tape in areas and best of all has the Reeve smile at the end and the complete end credits…

Quick judge - Tape looks sharp, uninterupted.

Looks fantastic

New news on the Highlander 2: Euro Version Project -

I have started to get this project going again .


Here is what has transpired over the last year -

September 2005 - I dig up an old Highalnder 2 TV cut from my collection which has the title (Highlander) on it. Quickly, I put it into the recorder and it eats the tape.... I cry for a day!! Later, I am going through boxes once again and find another copy of the same tape marked ( Highalnder 3 workprint) I put it in and it's Highlander 2 TV cut - God! I hated myself back then, to this day I still don't even know the shit I have, Igo threw it every day. In the last two years I now mark evrything and keep track on a list of what I have. There was a time heavily into trading that I would get shit from people and didn't even watch it. MY god!! was I a nut...

Dec 3rd 2005 - My Highlander project gets of the ground with concepts of a possible recut of the film, this would use deleted/ extended footage from an OOP Scandanavian DVD which wasa copy of the British theatrical version which was different from the U.S. Version and is far superior, However, sadly had German language only. Anyways, after thinking about the project day in and day out I decided to drop the idea of a recut and restore Highlander 2 to it's best possible glory ( if there was one). Highlander 2 got a crappy U.S. botched release but in Europe they got a completly different cut which was closer to the Rengade version that exists today. However, The Euro cut features Ziest in all it's glory and extra footage only found on this version.

Jan 2006 - I contact Adigitalman with an offer on the project and he turns it down. But gives me the instruction on how I could learn to do it on my own. Truth is I suck and know it and don't want a botched job!!! If i am going to accomplish this i am going to get this off the ground with some help.

Jan 16, 2006 - Project offically launches and work is done to collect the best possible cuts of the film from various fans around the world.
I located at least five different cuts of the TV version and One Euro Cut which was in widescreen )sadly no 16:9) but I'll take widesreen. However, the original intended fairytale ending most commenly seen on the TV cuts from around the world was not in the Widescreen transfer. The fairytale ending which i will have in my cut becasue it was in the offical british release exists only on the New DVD of the Renegade Cut in workprint form. But, my various TV cuts feature the scene complete but in fullscreen only.

Jan 2006 - Fanfiltration contacts me via email and shows interest in the project. I quickly box up my best cuts of the film and he begins a restoration project on the film. In the meantime I forget to send revernbeastly his Ace Ventura TV cut, he slams me into the ground!!! JK!! No he was unhappy but willing to give me extra time to send him a copy!! anyways, i fianlly find time to send him a copy and my attention is again shifted back onto this project.

Jan 2006 - Fanfiltraion doesn't email me for weeks!! I am getting to be a nut case. I email him at least once a week and nothing. However, states in an earlier post - Building a better "Highlander 2" can, AND WILL be done!

Feb 2006 - Fanfiltration finally contact me and alerts to me that there are several errors in the discs I sent him and tells me he has shelved the project until further notice. He also states that he will send me copies of the disc to where he left off and he will get back to me. He say's he has little time and want to devote his time to the Dune project but he will try in month to get to it.

March 2006 - I give Fanfiltration another month and kindly reply to his email. I state on the email ( I know you are busy but can we ever get this project going and do you need new transfers. can I offer help? At this time I was working on Menus for the proposed 2-disc set and have came across a rare soundtrack. Fanfiltration never replies as to this day.

March 23 2006 - I am halted after work is returned to an earlier project of mine - finally completing my Superman 4 Recut in workprint rough cut form. I send the disc to Rikter who replies it's got potential but he never speeks of it again. No one seems interested in the project so I shelved it for a later date hoping that I can generate some buzz after Superman Returns is released.. I will keep my original recut idea and finsh it someday if anyone cares. BTW!! Rikter now has the only copy of my rough cut as my computer crashed and I lost it all. I still have to get a copy from him. I hope he didn't throw it away.. oops!! I mean it was my first edit job learning it all from a OCP and a ADigitalman thread as to how to cut movies. There help was great but I am years away.

March 30th 2006 - I start work on restoring the horrible sound elemsts from the various cuts. ( Now sound is where I ahve some talent) But, I quicly stop due to it being to difficult to edit sound elemsnts from various versions. I am now going with an australian MONO broadcast version for the englsih overlay onto the widescreen cut. I get an email form another fan who stated he will take on the project if i give him all of my rarest DVD's - I tell him to take a hike!!!!

April 6th 2006 - I am contacted by a fan who actaully went to the OLD Rare and Uncut Movie Collector website of mine and emailed me.
He (PhinouesBg) states he is interested in my resoration project and that he has been looking for my cuts I aquired fro years. Finally, someone has interest!!!! Horray. He states that he is working on a extended cut of the film with all know footage availble and needs my Euro Cut.
After talking him into a few thing, he is going to overlay the english TV audio onto the widescreen Euro transfer.

May 1st 2006 - Project halts as suddenly he nver replies to my emails oddly! I am think here we go again????? another Fanfiltration back burner but this time I haven't sent any discs..lol!!


May 15th 2006 -
The project was started again by a fan (PhinouesBg) who has done some work in editing. Ofcourse, my attention immedialty shifted to asking him how much work he has done in the past and he told me. trust me I'm good!!

May 16th - I am trusting him!!!! And I am sending him all my best copies!!!!! he say's he will begin work on the project as soon as he gets the cuts. I have the Menus which are interactive ready to go and in rough form to add any material of behind the scenes footage or making of etc... to it.

June 5th 2006 - We have assembled all known cuts of the films - THE AMERICAN VERSION, THE BRITISH VERSION, THE GERMAN VERSION, THE RENEGADE VERSION and the 2004 SPECIAL EDITION


July 2006

Today PhineosBG is working on the American Version Pan-and-Scan NTSC DVD master and the
American Version (Anamorphic Widescreen 5.1 Audio) Master

BTW!!! I have a 3rd Gen copy of this.

Rev, I have rencoded the Ace Ventura pet detective w/ no errors finally.

For sure it will be sent to you, please IM me your address again and i'll send it tommorrow. Don't count on the Mask workprint copy I have the disc had the same errors that Pet detective did so it will require lots of work.. I used Nero Rencode and it worked.
