Youtube's being annoying so I'll try and upstage Gaffer here rather than his youtube page. BKEV TO THE RESCUE!  The footage is codenamed Zyu2, and someone has kindly uploaded what he knows/believes to be much of said "new" footage on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/user/Zyu2.  You'll notice that a few of these videos have only the monsters intact.  This is because Saban ingeniously was able to splice in the new megazords from later seasons into these(particularly here Zyu2) shots, by panning away any time one side got hit via a generic reaction shot.  Some episodes you never see the Zords clash at all at the same time on-screen.

And define spin-offs... Super Sentai is a yearly thing, where - much like the Power Rangers - you can expect a different series every 1-2 years.  Most upgrades, except for the temporary ninja suits from... season 3?, are just more stock footage.

You messed around over there, too... right?

I think he did all this at fanedit.org previously ABC, so no harm would be done. ;)

You know you may want to PM Mothra Fink, see what that does.

On cable it is, not on the DVDs.  They even have a disclaimer somewhere in there.  However, Johnny Quest oddly enough has this fate reversed, and it's a damn shame.

edit: I may have misspoken on Tom & Jerry, I'm referring to the supposed "blackface" cuts after explosions and such.  I believe most of Mammy Two-Shoes' lines have been restored to the original voice on DVD, but wiki says some episodes contain the re-dubbed voice.

ABC vs. Frink belongs in the Classic LOL Moments in OT.com History.  In fact, it deserves its own thread.  Their conflict rains supreme.

Gee, I can't wait to see how they muck up Beauty & the Beast on Blu... :/

Oh, yeah, Fantasia.  I saw 2000 in the original theatrical run (in a temp-theater set up in a tent specifically for the event no less), and may or may not have seen Fantasia when I was very young.  I look forward to checking this out, and wish you luck.

Captainsolo, I highly doubt Lionsgate is more than the distributor... so in short, that's probably all they had.  Still, ought to have requested more.

@Molly:  I certainly hope that's only a few episodes they sourced from VHS.  That's just beyond horrible.  Although the episodes I have seen didn't look too bad...

Sp apparently it rained last night in Los Angeles... where I am.  Kinda surprising this time of year.  In fact, really surprising.

Hehe... preeettty imagery disguises from the fact that this isn't specific to one of them and in fact holds all three.  Disregard!

Absolutely fantastic!  It's very Criterion Collection-esque.  Are you planning on completing a set for the rest of the movies?

I hate to be late to the party, but this totally reminds me of Rush Hour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU_7kIXYFUk

Yeah, FHE/LionsGate is the worst. @_@

Has anyone subbed Mach Go Go?  I've always wanted to see it, but can't find any - raw or sub - sources.

I doubt Paramount has particularly kept whatever resources they have regarding these in great shape.  It's a shame nobody could cap it properly... :( thanks for the efforts of course.

YES!  Haha, I love Zyuranger... at least, Bandora.  So much cooler than Rita.  I gotta wonder, why does every group who EVER starts the series stop subbing it?  I really wanna see past episode 7!  The Green Ranger's story, while I've never seen it, sounds way more interesting than Tommy's... although, like everyone else, he was my favorite growing up.  Power Rangers was a bit before my time, so how do I know it?  Simple!  ABC Family ran it weekday mornings, and whenever I was sick I'd make it 4 parts of the way through a 5-parter... and be ready to go back to school.  It happened to me with Wild Force, AND Green With Evil.  I never found out for sure how Tommy ended up working with them until I... eh-hem... found the episodes.

Misread the post.  Adywan gave a good answer below.

The question is, is this cut always pan & scanned or just on TV?  I think TBS stretches the 4:3 image on its HD feed, at least for shows like Friends.  Maybe it's different for movies?

That was the only movie I saw in '97, count yourself better off than me.

They come tomorrow... but if you're internet-savvy you can find them today!  Watching episode 1 as we speak.  Still funny, if you ask me.

Thoughts?  Questions?  Exclamations!?

Haters? 

That's... the joke... ?

And yet it's the best solution so far!

I believe one of our members cited it as the 2004 edition at the Academy, but that was such a long time ago that I may be misquoting (or he may have even been mistaken himself).  You're probably right, of course - especially given the other movies on their list.  I'm still waiting on American Cinematheque to find some version of Star Wars to show... they did show an original Raiders print, glass reflection and all, only last month.

Even at The Academy during "Great to be Nominated"?  You'd think they would understand the importance of film... oh well, guess it can't be helped.  I wasn't necessarily saying a film print was likely, I was just saying I didn't find it to be impossible.

Well, just because the native resolution of the '04 SE is 1080p doesn't mean there haven't been prints made.  I saw Toy Story 3 on 35mm at a theater (2D, of course) and that movie can't possibly have been rendered in a source that high.  There are probably upscaled prints somewhere...
