It was released on Laserdisc too. If you have a player already, copies pop on Ebay now and then. The promotional VHS copy, (made for video stores) has a version of the trailer on it and different box art.

The German version is a two pack of the MST movie and This Island Earth uncut. I keep hoping for an deluxe edition down the road with the cut scenes, or maybe a workprint from before the test audience screening from hell forced them to dumb things down a bit. The movie has been spotted on youtube recently.

Good memories. The music and sound FX in these particular games used to stress my old stereo system pretty hard at times. SSW was easy once you knew about the secret cave full of extra lives.

Disney apparently caved in and erased the “it’s not a boner!” kneecaps on the priest in the wedding scene. And early reviews are complaining about the video, (You can never use too much DVNR!) and lousy soundtrack remix.

Yellowbeard has it's moments. (And deserved a better DVD than what Sony crapped out recently.) It's kind of bittersweet knowing it was Marty Feldman's last film though. And life is too short to begrudge anyone's taste in movies.

I often wonder what the legal implications of erasing part of an actor's performance from a movie years later would be if Lucas was still in the DGA and Sebastian Shaw still alive. And I was expecting much worse to happen really. I thought Lucas would replace Shaw for the unmaksing scene as well. One of the Dark Horse Infinities comics actually depicted Hayden's face when the mask comes off shortly before the '94 versions came out.

They aren't stopping with the effects shots. The analog chronometer on the bridge's navigation console was replaced with a digital one in tonight's episode. If the originals are made available on whatever HD format wins out, I can live with these pointless alternate versions. But if they don't, saying "they're on DVD" will be as weak an argument in a decade or two as Lucas' old argument that fans who prefer the OT have the VHS tapes to watch.
Interestingly enough, the CGI for the new cut of the first Trek movie was not done in HD. That will come back to bite Paramount in a couple years!

If it hasn't been asked before, how will you guys correct for all the overkill video noise reduction the DC has? It was the main reason I thought I had a bad pressing back in '93.

Sounds like a good project. The Japanese LD is supposedly widescreen, but I've never been able to get my hands on a copy. I'm thankful the domestic disc has the Japanese track though. The English dub is mono and sounds like it was recorded on a cheap cassette deck! Would love to also get my hands on the tv series boxset that came out in Japan, but it's still too damn expensive.

The heck? I wasn't arguing about video resolutions. (I got enough aggrivation.) I was pointing out someone over at HTF owns a 35mm print and is contemplating trashing it because of fading and wear. Someone on there want to ask the guy if he wants to sell it? If it's beyond salvage, we can give it a proper Viking funeral at the big SW con next year.

There are some cityscapes in the original Buck Rogers serial that may have influenced the look of Coruscant. And a couple city shots in the 1979 movie version might be worth a look at for your purposes.

Someone on the HTF claims to own a 35mm print, but it's supposed to be in such a bad shape, they are contemplating tossing it out!

Back in the 70's, Kmart had a rack of Super 8 movies for sale. I'm sure other dept. stores did as well. I never saw full length movies for sale, but complete films (usually a set of four reels for a two hour film) are still sold by Derann in the UK to this day. And a certain movie trilogy apparently was a big seller for them. They actually still have ROTJ listed for sale, but it's not cheap!

Super 8 is slightly different than 8mm. See here for a visual aid.
Many a college campus to this day show feature films in 16mm.
Boba Feta, what kind of projector are you using? Looks like yours crops the frame less than mine!

The PG-13 version of Titan A.E. Several years ago, I corresponded a bit with a former employee of the now defunct FOX Animation studio who sold me some drawings from the film. She told me how the film was toned down in places to ensure a PG rating, and showed me frames from scenes that aren't on the DVD. With everything down to the animator's office supplies sold or auctioned off when Fox closed up shop, you'd think someone out there has a workprint! (Probably with the original "Planet Ice" title still on it.)

If you can get your hands on the CLV laserdisc version of BATB, that was fullscreen. Enchanted Christmas also enjoyed an LD release, but was fullscreen.

Thanks for making a list of these. The Wallyworld exclusives seem like the best ones. And who knows? Those old Marvel reprints might open a few eyeballs to what's on those bonus discs. It's interesting they aren't foisting those Dark Horse SE comics from '97 on people,

Odd thing is, the Star Wars comic is the first monthly issue cover, not the later collected Super Special.
