When I bought the english and german Felidae 35mm prints start of the year, I hoped to get them scanned at some point in the future.
Maybe in 2026… If the year ia not as hectic as 2025 was. Fingers crossed.
I like the german voices. But, i guess, that’s a personal opinion.
The english prints were also from “Senator Filmverleih”, were copied at “Bavaria Kopierwerk” and were in “Dolby Stereo SR”.
I assume the german surround from DVD is an upmix for DVD…
There also seemed to be an english dubbed theatrical run, because English 35mm exists.
I can understand the “not getting around” part. I have some ToDo’s since start of the year, I did not getting around to do, yet.
Maybe Deaf Crocodile had no english language master, also the license might have been a bit more difficult to obtain.
I never knew, that it was dubbed in english, even for theatrical release.
I listened to the Audio cues of the DVDs and BDs too much.
Where did you find that scan? Is it HD?
With ac3 coding it might be the original sources Audio encoded… Because it is easy to find the CDs mix as DTS from the japanese DVD these days… If the Audio was scannend/encoded from the Films optical audio, you might notice some analoge no is, like scratches… (except, if the Audio on the Film was kept flawless.)
That one might be the correct one, i think this is the one, I got. I am not sure if StudioCanal reissued another two disc BD release in France…
Not to mention the color in the pictures being more a red flag… Not to forget the damages…
Ooof… What a price tag…
I’m looking for the full frame Jackie Brown myself. Anyone got it?
Seems to be avaible on ebay:
In Germany futurama is on disney+.
No idea if it’s a regular HD source, or a silly upscale, but at least they got HD streamed.
Edit:
Even if the stream is HD… It looks terrible… Edge enchantment just too obvious…
Maybe HKR got to bold, and got shut down, iirc it was kind of a bootleg “Label” with many source from the Fan restoration and preservation scene.
Some of the first releases (iirc Hard Boiled and The Killer) collected some of their Audio tracks and bonus features here on ot.com.
No wonder they do not really have/had a customer service.
Also, besides the financial Problem of getting smaller scans funded, I do not like the overall exposure on bigger sites.
With the small project and keeping them in between the people who contributed it might keep flying under the radar of Corps.
But with them shared wideley, I fear that at some point some corps start to get pis*** about the existence of fanrestorations and fanedits.
Is there any truth to the rumor that this ( https://images.static-bluray.com/movies/covers/6070_large.jpg ) french bluray for t2 has the CDS soundtrack in lossless english?
If it is the two disc version, with the TC on a separate disc, thefn, yes, it is the CDS Mix lossless encoded.
Europe BluRay has running time of 108 Minutes, imdb states 107 minutes…
Maybe the LD was wrongly encoded from a pal source. PAL runtime was 104 minutes…
Is the RoboCop 4:3 DVD fully opened-up? Can anyone compare the 4:3 DVD to the Criterion DVD?
There is no Full Frame DVD of RoboCop, not Region 1 at least. The above images I believe are from a TV airing. The Criterion is the closest Open Matte RoboCop there is on DVD.
At least you type RoboCop correctly.
Myself I’m far more interested in open matte versions of movies instead of Pan and Scan bullshite. Interesting for alternatives, of course.
Well, why being so negative on the former poster then? The criterion is more open matted, compared to any newer 1.85:1 dvd and BD release, due having a 1.66:1 frame, the way it originally was intended.
All modern releases of Amadeus feature only the Director’s Cut.
No shit. https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=2234
The website I linked to is an excellent resource for this thread, this site, and for other sites as well.
The original German page is even better…
Analysing many more censored versions of different movies…
Almist 110 minutes PAL is correct.
German VHS was uncensored but just dubbed. In pay TV we hat the uncensored but also the censored.
Best of luck finding the movie.
I am still in process of trying to find a better aspect ratio, the video is in 1.66:1, while it was 1.85:1 in Theatres. But I don’t want to matte it too much, as the raw file has not the theatrical AR.
Also, I’ll need to process some color grading, as the raw file has not as strong colors, as any shots I saw. Maybe because the print aged…
Also, I am tinkering with encoder settings and such.
So, there is no download for this at the moment.
Cya,
well I am not very adept in such processing, but I am sure at some point in the future there will be a preservation arise. It’s not just that easy to encode the raw stream.
The aspect ratio on the raw image is off, as it is scanned with cell frame and audio stream.
Before there can be any real download there has work to be done on this. For my screen caps I did not respect original theatrical AR, or matting.
Also I have no clue how the colors where when projected, the scan (and print) seems quite unsaturated, while frames from the re-release print with the altered image, seems lot more saturated… But colors also might have been revised for the re-release…
At least: The Boobs are safe, and won’t get lost that easy again.
I’ll try to answer the flow of questions as good as possible:
I took them myself from a video.
The source is not from your links.
The caps are 1:1 from that video, they are not blown up afterwards.
The marks are scratches, and nothing digitally added.
EDIT:
There was someone who got a 16mm print of Knick Knack.
AFAIK it is not scanned, yet.
Back in that time, I just had a 35mm print of the altered re-release.
https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Info-and-Help-Wanted-Looking-into-preserving-a-16mm-print-of-Pixars-Knick-Knack/id/65510
That had changed since then… I got a true 35mm print of the old version.
Thanks for that DVD hint. I need to check that out. Well. got some screenshots to check out:
Sorry for the formatting, I am not very used to this MArkdown stuff.
Oh, thanks for remembering me, to post some pictures from a 35mm source of that… Has to wait until Sunday.
OMG, we are going down the Terminator 2 road, again?
Maybe I am blind, but I do not find a “search” in this Forum, so a manual collection of Threads regarding Terminator 2, is various releases and such:

That should cover the most prominent discussions on the T2 road. I may have missed one or two threads… but maybe there’re also links in the discussions.
Any news on the 16mm print scan?
