I understand. Too bad it was never released in Laserdisc like the two other Making of.

By the way, Heroes and Sidekicks dvd was shipped today


Sweet! THank you!

What about the Entertainment Tonight?

I'm still trying to get a copy of the US version of Heroes and Sidekicks. I also might have a lead on some other vintage Indy stuff. Seeing how I could work it out. I have to trade.

VHS.

It was my original VHS recording for the video.

The audio was from someone else's. It was the best audio I could find that had the least amount of hiss and also was high enough as well.

It was seriously a bitch to try and get the best possible version out there. Seems like the quality is pretty average on all of them...and mine was much better than a few that I got. Like I said, I had to piece together the audio for the end credits from about 4 different recordings to not have the announcer talking over it.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the results. No, they don't match up to the laserdisc releases but it would be difficult to when this only aired in 84 when the movie came out. I even got a copy from Babyhum and mine was still better. Back then they actually made quality VHS so maybe that's why it looks pretty good.

Here is an alternate cover for it I am working on. I still need to write the text on the back cover. I made it to match the covers designed by Rikter, if I remember correctly, based on the Laserdisc.



Very nice job! A note, though, both of ours were done from the laserdiscs.

Digitalfreak, I know it must feel really bad for you to get "scooped" on a release, but technically none of this stuff is yours. Know what I mean?

Yeah, you put the effort into collecting things, authoring and releasing, but this ownership shit has to be put in check.

Raul - if you did just copy something, you should give credit where it's due.


1) how am i getting scooped? He's USING mine. That's not a scoop.

2) I never said i owned this. in fact, if you'll check, I said exactly what YOU'RE saying in another thread. However, on this board and the BR newsgroup, I was ripped for not giving credit to some of my extras. So apparently it DOES matter.

Not sure why you're on my back alluvasudden but please get off.

I'd like to get the laserdisc and sync up the audio from that since so many people complained...but I don't feel like re-buying it. If anyone can capture theirs using PCM...i'd be open to doing it.

Other than that, I have some personal projects I'm working on. Not sure which I'm going to tackle next. Maybe one of the Jaws discs since they won't be that difficult.


I'm a little lost. What do you need, The Audio from the Criterion LD ? I can Send it to you.


nope. from the DC laserdisc. people were complaining that they didn't like the mix that was used in the broadcast.

No one wanted a non-dual layer version. That completely defeats the purpose of my release. There is already a non-dual layer version out there with lesser quality and this has been discussed considerably. Please do not release it.

I also already have the criterion laserdisc. There were no video extras on that release. There were only drawings and other notes. What you have listed as "extras" is everything that was on my release.

Dude...you can do what you want but the only thing that you, personally, are contributing here is your own version (if that's true) of the Criterion. You're new here and it's bad form to just go around re-releasing other people's stuff...especially without their permission. Hell, I got shit for doing it on MY release.

There was never a widescreen version available on ANY format, including laserdisc.

Heat: The Action Edit (Released)

I think an action update could fit this movie very well. Go on, Yoshimi, edit Indiana Jones ;-)


Yeah.

Who needs great acting plus character and plot development when you can just throw a ton of action in there when no one speaks.

I can't believe people are posting on The Pirate Bay and saying I'm an idiot for cutting down this movie, lol! Do they not see where it says "fan-edit" or that I say it's to make an action movie out of it? They don't get it, and that's too bad. If they knew how many times I had to watch this over 3 days, they'd be a little more sympathetic.



Sorry.

I have to agree. Cutting Heat is NOT what people would think of. If anything, it has a following that would want MORE and not less. It'd be like taking Scarface and making it a more sympathetic movie. That's just not what it is. Making it an action movie cheapens it. It's a VERY very well made, acted and written movie as is. Don't touch it.
