Max_Rebo's '97 SE superset' preservation (* unfinished project *)
Time

I like the PAL Video Format

NTSC is like "Never The Same Color"

but I don't like the speedup of PAL.

 

Poor thing that the boots are bad Quality, It would been a nice source, if they where better.

 

I'd like to see the 1997 SEs in good quality, but I don't prefer them. But they are a part of the history of the Star Wars Saga.

I own the German Specilal Edition Trilogy Box (In german of course :) ) and the japanese LD Special Edition Trilogy Box, but I was never able to watch the LDs, because I did'nt own a LD Player. :(

Regarding to a german website, theire may be a Malaysian Bootleg DVD Set with the Special Editions and DTS Sound. It is stated as an copy of the US Laser Disc with DD 5.1, DTS 5.1 and Dolby Surround, some asian Subs and english subs. And additionally theire may be a bootleg from same country with DD5.1 EX and DTS 5.1 Sound with video format in Widescreen.

Info Wanted: Laserdisc Conversion Service?
Time

Yeah, but Shipping costs for LDs from Germany to somewere else is very High ;)

I paid about 40 $ for my japanese Star Wars 1997 Special Edition trilogy. about 30$ from that amount were for shipping from Japan.

 

My point was, that I would never trust my rare LDs to such an eBay offering. Expecially if it is in a far away country. MAYBE if it would be somebody in my own hometown, where I could take one Movie at time, but even than I would prefer somebody I know.

Idea & Info: Grindhouse (possible fan-edit?)
Time

Never found a hint, that the much green and the unsharpness was wanted.

And, if it was wanted, why don't these effects apply to the DVD Extended Versions, like the other "damages" whicj are added into the movies?

 

So I don't think that the green, unsharp Picture quality was wanted.

 

I will see what the german Grindhouse will look like.. *sight* ..yes, I plan to buy it... even if I own the Us Extended Versions, the German limited Extended Versions (In Tin Boxes with some little Gadgets, like smelling Discs: Gasoline for Death Proof.. something other for Planet Terror, a BBQ receipt for Planet Terror, ...) and the 6 Disc japanese Box, already.

I heard a German Release of the Theatrical Version is announced for this year (09-29-2008).

Maybe it is better than the japanese Version.

Hello,

Unluckyly I am lacking of a possibility to print DVD Labels, so I would send unlabled to the next Chain persons.

I am in holidy from 29th of June to 13th of July. So I hope to find a Chain to jump in in July.

Info: Other region DVD's &amp; Blu-ray's with Special content NOT available in the US.

Maybe in search for perfect image Quality, take a look at http://www.caps-a-holic.com theire are some very informative comparisons between different DVD releases.
Sometimes you get informations about sound quality.
Unfortunatly the page is mainly in german. But if theire are any questions, I am from germany, so I may help you in some translations ;)

So far the "must have" foreign DVDs with more than the US Version are
Kill Bill (Vol.1) from Japan (R2 / NTSC) with full Color fight and so on
Grindhouse from Japan (R2 / NTSC) so far the only Grindhouse on DVD release :()

In France they have the only unrated DVD release of "Red Scorpion" but this DVD is just in french, with no subtitles :(

As far as I know France is the only country with a little bit longer "Killing Zoe" release.
Ans France has Longer Versions of "Black Mask" and "The Killer"

But French movies ofen lack of english audio and/or subtitling :(

In German theire is the only Russian Theatrical Cut release of "Night Watch - Nochnoi Dozor" (as far as I know.. and I don't know everything) outside Russia ans Russian related countries
A german comparison between the International Theatrical Version and the russian Theatrical Version can be found here: http://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittbericht.php?ID=2891
The russian Release is also availible on DVD in Russia and Estland with englisch subtitling.
(the german release also has only russian audio with subtitles in german, english for the deaf and hearing impaled)
The Movie is Called "Wächter der Nacht" in Germany (so you will find it ;) and look for the DVD containing the "RUSSISCHER DIRECTOR'S CUT"
(Amazon Link


---

Edit:
Good Versions of "Ong Bak" and "Warrior King" can be found in UK (PAL R2) theire where the Thai Versions released, and not the International shorter Versions.

In Hong Kong (NTSC R3) the Director's Cut of "Fearless" (About 140 Minutes running Time) has been relased (in Europa theire is only the 100 Min international Cinematic version)

A good Release of "Bullet in the Head" comes from UK, with good Picture, but the Hong Kong Release does have some mor scenes included in some bad quality, but they are never released anywhere on DVD before...
