I played the movie once back in 1997 on a old VHS player. When I realized the error I put the movie away and played the other 2 movies on same VHS player and they played in color.
FOX VHS titles are notorious for copy protection that freaks out on certain types of playback equipment or hookups. Are you playing on a VHS/DVD combo, or passing the signal through some other device before it gets to the monitor?
I’m from Canada so there is no reason for the movie to play black and white.
Both Empire and Return of played fine in same VCR.
When the box set came out I got a copy and the Star Wars movie wasn’t colored when I watched it.
I’ve been looking for others out there and have found none to date.
Does anyone know if there are more of these movies out there?
