REGARDING THE FRIGHTENERS

I have the originals on DVD, however, it is the same versions shown in the pictures in the above thread. Originally, at the time I did not have a PC DVD burner so I used a burner disc. This the quality that is shown in the picture.

However, the copy I have is direct from the laserdisc as the transfer was poor in the first place. There is no perfect looking Frighteners.
Granted though by copying them in SP and the 4 hour doc in EP I did lower the quality even more.

Now that I have a DVD PC Dual disc writer I plan on sending those to Rikter which in turn can give you guys copies.

The copy I have is a 4 disc set, but if i send Rikter 2 duel layer disc the quality will be that of the original.

Like I said, if you are looking for digitally remastered or something like that it never existed, the quality I have is that of the Criterion Blader Runner.

Hope this helps..

I am burnung them as we speak, and they look great.. the movies however start right away with no menus. I just got this PC with a movie making DVD program that cost mesome bucs but I haven't figured out how to create menus.

peace all

When doing the edit of Episode 3 in the future please add Palpatines shuttle with the 2 tie fighters on approach to Mustafar

This scene was from the trailer and shoudl not have been cut.

Finding a suitable audio in 5.1 is going to be hard since the trailer was release in glorious 2.0


That may be a problem.


?? why in the Episode 2 edit did you not add the conversation between Anakin and Obi--Wan on the street of Coruscant.

ie: "But you haven't learned anything yet" was it the source? It should have not been cut in the first place.

Thanks

Review: Return of the Ewok


Star Wars Return of the Ewok (1983)
Length: Various
Rated: G
Format: Full and Widescreen Mix 1:33.1
Language: English 2.0



It may have taken a small eternity, but the wait is over and the original Star Wars Return of the Ewok makes its DVD release debut courtesy of OCPMOVIE and as a extra the DVD is filled with bonus materials.
Expectations for this release ran high. So, I was eager to find out how the DVD set would satisfy my expectations.

This is a reconstruction of the original version with a combination of the hyperspace footage intergrated with a grainy yet very well restored version of the film. This is not the shortened version on STARWARS.COM. The true fans like us deserve better and OCPMOVIE delivers the goods.

I’ve been following OCPMOVIES for a few months now and quite frankly, I am impressed.
Overall the film exhibits a much stronger resemblance to what we are missing in poking fun and having fun. Frankly, I can't remember the last time a film was released that was from the heart such as this film.

On the presentation side, the DVD version is nothing but simply jaw-dropping. I can guarantee that you have never seen this movie short like this before, ever. The image quality is phenomenal for what was available with a razor sharp image that holds a level of detail even in transition with the original short print. Every single frame of this movie had to have been cleaned up to remove specks of dust or grain. As I watched I was feeling the pain of how much effort was put into every single frame. The result is an image that rivals most high end VHS recordings.
The thing that amazed me the most is the amazing level of detail and sharp editing the presentation, making the viewing simply and utterly breath-taking.


On the audio side things are equally very good considering the source. With aggressive seamless sound usage, the tracks are as identical kinetic as the movie it self. I could not tell the differnece between the two sources. No matter how well you know about this release I am sure you will still be able to hear things here you have not heard anywhere before.

You will also be treated to a good selection of special features as well as a beautiful title menu that is very cool. Infact, the menu was easy to navigate which was great for people such as my father who is sort of old school on all this DVD stuff. ie: "Do I hit where it say's play movie", laugh out loud!

The vision, of the one who would take this simple movie short and restore it to whats released is awesome.

Once again, OCPMOVIE delivers the goods in serving up a release like this.
This is "Return of the Ewok as it was meant to be seen and I am glad I had the opportunity and the privilege of that experience.



Once again, outstanding work.
The Return of the Ewok Disc was awesome

As soon as I recieve the final print of OCP Releases Classic Edition I will be in heaven because if it was anything like this I am in for a treat.

Peace

70 mm print of the Empire Strikes Back Differences
Link
https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/108167/action/topic#108167
Time
70mm prints of "The Empire Strikes Back" differed from the 35mm version in that some editing differences, additional shots, alternate takes, and extra dialogue can be detected through a comparison of the two versions. It is understood that when the movie was considered "finished," the elements were turned over to the lab and sound facilities so the desired 70mm print order could be prepared. The filmmakers, however, elected to "un-finish" the movie and make a few, albeit subtle, changes that, considering the expense and time involved in re-striking and and/or re-sounding 70mm prints, were reflected only in the film's 35mm prints. There is a bit of irony in all of this trivia: the majority of the public and media who saw the movie in its first month of release saw the "less complete" version.

The Empire Strikes Back
The 70mm version of the film was substantially different from the 35mm version that was more widely seen.

After the Probot lands and moves left, there is an optical wipe to the overhead shot of Luke on his Tauntaun.
After Luke wanders through the snow and falls face down, there is an optical wipe to Han instead of a straight cut.
The bacta tank scene starts on a close-up of Two-One-Bee and pans right to a closeup of Luke in the tank. It then cuts to FX-7 extending its arm to the tank. There is no cut to Leia, Han and Threepio observing.
In the snow battle scene, when Luke drops into the snow after throwing a charge into the Imperial walker, the AT-ST in the background has no atmospheric depth. It looks too close and small.
In the Emperor scene, the hologram of the Emperor is already present in the first shot-it does not "tune in" gradually.
The Imperial fleet establishing shot after the magic tree scene has a different TIE fighter sound effect.
When Luke falls from Cloud City into the Millennium Falcon, the Falcon's radar dish is not added to the shot.
The telepathy between Luke and Vader during the "Hyperspace" cue has straight cuts instead of quick dissolves.
On Hoth, right after C-3PO tells R2 to "Switch off," R2 gives out a little 'blurp.'
When Luke finally collapses in the snow, he lets out a grunt as he lands on his face.
Han says "until I can get the shelter up" instead of "until I can get the shelter built."
Luke says an additional "Ben... Dagobah..." just before Han says "and I thought they smelled bad on the outside."
When C-3PO tells Luke "It's so good to see you fully functional again," Luke replies "Thanks, Threepio."
The line "Headquarters personnel report to Command Center" is repeated three times instead of two.
The line "The first transport is away!" is said in a different voice altogether.
When R2 is being loaded into Luke's X-Wing, C-3PO says the word "and" before saying "do take good care of yourself."
Han's line "Transport, this is Solo. Better take off, I can't get to you. I'll get her out on the Falcon" is followed by, "Come on!"
In the asteroid field, after C-3PO says "Oh, this is suicide." He says, "There's no where to go."
Luke says "You're lucky to get out of there" instead of "You're lucky you don't taste very good."
Yoda makes a frightened "Ehhhhh!" sound just before Luke says "Like we're being watched" and points his blaster at him.
Yoda says the word "Run!" before "Yes. A Jedi's strength flows from the force." The following lines "But beware the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side of the force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight" are also much louder and clearer.
In Cloud City, after C-3PO says "That sounds like an R2 unit in there. I wonder if it..." he says "Hello?" only once instead of twice.
Before C-3PO gets shot, a different voice says "Who are you?"
While C-3PO is on Chewie's back when they enter the carbon freezing chamber, the line "Now remember, Chewbacca, you have a responsibility to me, so don't do anything foolish" is louder and heard more clearly.
During the duel, when Luke knocks Vader off of the platform, Vader lets out an "ooooh!" instead of an "aaargh!"
Lando's line at the end, "Luke, we're ready for takeoff." is a different take.
In the final scene, there is no tracked music from "Yoda and the Force".



Is any of the print scenes known or does it even exist in any form anymore. Would be cool to restore this version.
