T1- Arnold is more badass as a villain IMO
T2- Epic sequel with epic effects
T3- Felt a little short but ehh it was ok
TG- Havent seen it but Arnolds return, for better or worse, is enough for me rank it over TS
TS- Saw it once on TV and ehh didnt grab me much. The concept of having a main character who later discovers hes a machine but not Terminator for me was confusing. CGI Arnold was fake a hell

The sample pics and videos look good. I like the coloring. Excited to see the whole thing. Keep up the good work!

Im not saying I feel ultra positive a OUT release will happen but I will say that lately Im having a good feeling about it. I say this since Lucasfilm/Disney have yet to say ANYTHING regarding a OUT restoration. Keep in mind that the sale to Disney was in 2012 and we still yet to hear something. I dont think Lucasfilm/Disney would be so quiet on the subject if it at least wasnt being considered. Im not saying Lucasfilm/Disney is the same way but at least when Lucas was in charge he was straight up and said they wouldnt be released. Now with him out of the way Im not sure. And as someone noted above the fact that the original cut was requested by Disney from the LOC only adds to my feeling on the matter.

I can still provide the VHS audio should we ultimately decide to take that route.

The Special Edition of The Wizard Of Oz is proof of what a Special Edition is supposed to be.

What’s so special about it?

That’s not on my Laserdisc!

Will this be restored for the next SE???

Yep I do find the VHS version pleasing. As I mentioned the tape I had digitized was viewed only once or twice so it came out a bit better than expected. Funny I didnt start noticing the audio differences until afterwards and was actually amazed how IMO the VHS sounded better than my DVD. The missing bits I pointed out in the second video have been missing since 2004. When Universal announced for its 100th anniversary that it would be doing a major restoration overhaul on many of its titles, including Dracula and Frankenstein, I was hoping this would finally be fixed. It was not to be. They again used the same flawed track thats been in use since 2004. Very sad. On the other hand, I give them a thumbs up for what they did visually with the film. I will say the BD is probably the best Frankenstein has ever looked.

Another headsup. I do not have a LD player so I will not be able to preserve the LD audio myself. Sorry. I can still provide the VHS audio though.

Keep in mind though that the DiscoVision print would have the censored cut of the film that removes other scenes, notably when the Monster throws the little girl in the water. These scenes weren’t restored until 1986.

Hello, I was curious if anyone has considered preserving the audio for Frankenstein (1931). For starters I am quite displeased with the audio mix on the BluRay since IMO it is a bit flat and muffled. Also theres portions of the sound track missing. This is also the mix used on every DVD release since 2004.

About two years ago I had sent someone the audio tracks from the VHS’ of Dracula and Frankenstein which he was going to sync up to the BD. I messaged him a few times and he said he was working on it and finally said it would be ready by Halloween 2014. As far as I know the project wasnt completed and I havent heard from him since (if you the one Im speaking of are reading this, understand Im not calling you out since I know people get sidetracked with other projects).

Which brings me to here. After doing some comparisons, I realized that my 1991 VHS copy while a bit hissy sounds crisper than the BD. However the VHS may not be the best source. The copy was only viewed once or twice by the time it was digitized so it still came out pretty good but some scenes may have some VHS crackle and there was one minor glitch in one scene which actually isnt all that noticeable but might stand out when trying to sync to the BD. I noticed that the VHS is actually going at a somewhat faster pace than the BD. The exact fps I do not know. I believe the guy who was working on this said he was having a bit difficulty with the syncing. Please keep in mind Im no expert when it comes to syncing audio tracks which is why I seek everyones help.

So perhaps another source is in order. Does anyone by any chance have the 1987 ‘restored’ Laserdisc and might consider digitizing it? Since the 1987 ‘restored’ VHS uses the same print as the 1991 VHS, maybe the Laserdisc would be the best source. A headsup though. This ‘restored’ print is missing the line ‘Now I know what it feels like to be God’, a line that was restored circa 1999 and hence on the BD. Whether to restore this line to the Laserdisc mix or just leave the line censored will have to be discussed.

Anyways below are two comparison videos I made some 2-3 years ago. The first I wanted to point out that I feel the VHS sounds crisper while the other points out the missing bits. Leave some comments and hopefully we can make something of this. Understand that I respect all opinions so lets be on the same page everyone.

I am new here, I was wondering where the download link was to the mono sound of The Terminator, since I live in England you can’t get the mono sound on dvd. You can only get it if you have the laserdisc or the original VHS, I’ve heard that if you have a region 1 copy then you get the mono version, however I live in the UK so I cannot get it. So my main question is were is the download link so I can burn the mono onto my dvd?

I believe theres a link on this threads first page

Sometimes you have to wonder if Lucas predicted that within a few years that VHS would be obsolete and thus the unavailability of the OUT would become a reality, at least until he gave into studio pressure in 2006. You have to remember DVD didnt exist yet when the ‘Faces’ sets were released.

Hehe well thank you

Sadly I haven’t followed the EU.

One change Im actually a bit surprised wasnt made was changing the Stormtroopers voices to Temeura Morrison’s.

Clones were discontinued after the rise of the Empire, the storms are humans that enlisted.

Ahh gotcha. Keep in mind my knowledge of the PT isnt as consistent as my knowledge of the OT. Haha

I guess the sames for Jaws???

EyeShotFirst, is there a reason you forgot the image of Yoda on the back cover of ESB?? Also this was discussed in another thread but does anyone by any chance have a logofree version of the ROTJ artwork but with the ‘smaller’ Lando like on the VHS cover?? The only logofree version of that artwork that I can find has ‘larger’ Lando.

A preservation of the original mix would definitely be good, absolutely!

What is atrocious is the complete reworking of the soundtrack from new elements and the abandoning of the original, despite the DVD multichannel mix being a bit restrained  (made very obvious in the new 35mm which used this track unlike the IMAX version).

I may get some flack for saying this but I actually prefer the LD for picture despite the aliasing as it seems a bit more natural than the DVD and it is similar to the VHS I grew up with.

Audio…LD wins. No contest. Hands down. End of discussion. The score’s integration alone nails it along with directional panning and fine detail not present in the DVD 5.1 derived from the 70mm master.

I was under the impression that the Blu-ray sound mix was just the same as the DVD (70mm), with the rears redone for 7.1. Is it really significantly different from the dvd? (I’ve only seen the IMAX version, so I don’t know.) I really like how the DVD sounded.

Sorry if this response is late and if its been answered but yes theyre not the same mix. The DVD mix was similar to my old VHS edition. I prefer this mix personally. I dont know the complete list but I know the BD added some additional ‘richocet’ noises during the gun battles which I really dont like. These ‘new’ noises were also on the 1999 VHS (not the same VHS I mentioned before)

Some video releases between 1985 and 1992 have C-3PO’s tractor beam line that was present in the films original mono track. The ‘Faces’ version for whatever reason removes the line much like the film’s original stereo mix.

All Region 1 DVDs have the mono, Ronster. 😃

Anyone by any chance preserve the 1995 LD mono track for Jaws???
