Some fans can be wound just a little tight. Pay him no mind.

The only annoying thing about him is that he's likely been a gusher on more than one thread...and if there's one thing worse than anonymous emailers, it's those two-faced little bitches who smile to your face, then stab you in the back.

I hope the fact that you shared his "private email to you" with everyone has him literally angry with rage.

Anyway, lovin' the edits so far...keep up the good work.
Maybe you should try some more radical changes, like 3PO speaks with a german accent, or Luke has tourettes, or when Leia bends over to put the medal on Luke, her left boob could accidentally pop out of her dress. (My personal favourite.

)

I believe I have a very average video copy of that stuff too. (In storage.)

Are a lot of the deleted effects shots just on their own, interspersed with black?

I was so excited back when I first got it...the shot of the Alien walking headfirst down the wall during the fire sequence made me giddy.

I hate to be "one of those people" but does anyone know of any active torrents for appendices 1 & 2?

I only really acquired the ability to download recently, so...

Anyway, any help very appreciated.

Jambe, dude...just watched Building and Returning over the weekend, and had to heap accolades upon you. Excellent, enjoyable work...I thank you for it. Two more fine additions to the collection.

Adywan, you is one crazy son of a bitch. Seriously, the love you givin' this movie brings warm feelings to my heart.

New reflections for the chess pieces? Outer view of docking bays fixed to match new interior? Awesome.

I used to note some of the changes you were making so I could, ahem..."appropriate" them for my own version, but I just can't keep up. You are way too good.

Kudos.

Why is he a turd for voicing an opinion?

The board isn't just here for unwavering praise of all things, regardless of quality. (At least, I don't think it is.)

Anwyay, I didn't mind the voice too much, but it does ruin any real suspension of disbelief.

Nope, that was an Akira class. Most certainly not Soyuz.

What he meant was, ALL the live action components of the game are included on the DVD. Not one scrap of gameplay.

Yeah, I'm definitely thinking commercials, too.

If there's fifty minutes of actual Spidey 2 footage added, I'll eat my hat.

I don't own a hat, but I will buy one and then eat it. Scout's honour.

Let's assume for a microsecond that anyone here has the skill to pull that off convincingly (which they do not) ...it wouldn't make one damn lick of sense.

So Dredd gets sent to prison with his helmet on? That Schneider douche has to put his hand up to his face to recognise him? In fact, no one recognises him?

Did I just get fooled into replying to a joke post?

Dammit.

If it helps at all, everything that was on the BB bonus discs for TNG & DS9 are contained on the R2/R4 versions as standard.

^A thousand times better. This one looks like someone taped it off the LD, then taped that tape, then one more time just for fun. Even the one on the UK VHS "Executor" box was in better condition.

Heya,

Just a nobody here, but was wondering about one little gaffe that I never see mentioned...

Did you do anything about the car battery on Luke's landspeeder during the Mos Eisley jaunt? Ever since I noticed it a few years ago, I can't look anywhere else.

1:85:1? What happened to its original aspect ratio?

Is this an opened up transfer, or some kind of P&S/matted monstrosity?

That extended Zeist one sounds great...pretty much what I am planning.

A question though...(let's see if I can phrase this so that it makes sense.)

Are you going to be re-editing the Zeist cut to have the flashback structure of the SERenegade, or are you going to use primarily the SERenegade, but replace the "Distant Past" portions with the Zeist material?

The reason I ask is that one of the little details I was planning to preserve was the December Installation, as opposed to the Renegade method of making Shield Control and the December Installation one and the same.

Just curious.

Hi, new to the boards, but had to express my surprise that anyone is bothering with Highlander II. I've always been kind of fond of it, despite its huge and obvious flaws.

And the funny thing is, after years of buying the Renegade version over and over again (first the LD, then the DVD, then the SE DVD) I think I mostly prefer the Zeist version. The time-travel element makes even less sense than them being aliens, IMO.

I am actually planning my own version of H2 which primarily uses the image (updated effects) and chronology of the Renegade SE, but reverts back to the Zeist origin. Only problem is, I can't find a good quality widescreen theatrical cut. Paramount apparently had one on the way, but now there's ben no word on it.

Anyway, can't wait to see how this project works out.

There is at least one altered shot in that sequence. (Albeit a minor one.)

When the Rancor raises Luke to its mouth, Luke and the Rancor's hand have been repositioned to be lower in the frame. My only guess as to why would be to minimize the obviousness of the foam Rancor hand.
