I know you’re only keeping the 2.0 optical audio, but it’d be neat for you to add the 2.0 PCM Laserdisc track from the Best of Roger Rabbit release as an option.

I actually captured the audio for my LD preservation. In fact, it was already from my regraded and recropped version I made for privacy concerns.

See above. Not possible with my skills. You can try though. Good luck

It’s “Roller”, not “Rollar”

Thanks, idk why i keep making that mistake

The thread title still says “Rollar” FWIW.

Can’t change the title. Deal with it

Can’t. I tried. The FPS is 24fps, not 23.98fps. It’s not possible for the time I spent getting this thing out there, I tried to change the FPS and resync the audio, I went insane.

Because they didn’t use his work beyond a teaser, or because the art they used was kind lame? Or both lol

In any case Struzan’s work was not favoured by studios for a long time even before he retired. In the “Art Of” book that Hellboy one above specifically came up as being rejected after Del Toro wanted it, then found he had no decision making power.

It was never lame. He was a true visionary and artist.
And now he’s gone. RIP 😦

No additional audio tracks included, only the 2.0 Optical audio. However I am open to adding foreign subs for the future.

Presenting my 35mm scan of Roller Coaster Rabbit. I bought this print off Ebay and funded the scan independently.

No other donor was responsible for this scan but me.

You too can see and download this scan if you DM me.

Do not share openly please (just to be polite to my wishes) and give credit to me, the funder.

I only ask you be a reliable poster of the forum and be polite in asking. Thanks!

I’ve been polite and understanding in this thread.
Either be a long standing user of OT and/or reddit to have a link.
My reddit post is here for those interested. I’m not going to reply to anymore rude or bait comments. https://www.reddit.com/r/fanedits/comments/1ipeaks/fantastic_four_1994_ultimate_remaster_dm_for_link/

Ah, yes, the classic “I’m being polite and understanding”, followed immediately by completely ignoring the actual question. Impressive. You should teach a masterclass in missing the point.

Just to clarify—for the people in the back—I wasn’t even talking to you. I was asking if anyone who actually got the edit has seen it and has thoughts. But thanks for swooping in with your righteous indignation instead of, you know, acknowledging that not a single person has commented on the quality yet.

But hey, keep gatekeeping that 1994 Fantastic Four fan edit like it’s the Holy Grail. Really holding the community together, buddy.

???

Hey, just checking—has anyone actually gotten a copy of the edit yet? The OP said they’d share it with longtime OG members, but so far, it’s been radio silence. What good is a fan edit if no one’s chimed in on its quality yet? 🤣 If anyone’s seen it, how’s the quality? Any major changes worth noting? Would love to hear some thoughts!

radio silence

I have also advertised our remaster on reddit too, it’s not like I’m hoarding this to one website by the way. If you’re reliable on reddit, that can work too 😃 https://www.reddit.com/user/MTR_Edits/
Thank you for standing behind me, oojason

Wanted to reach out and say that I’m grateful for the effort put into this by yourself and whoever else assisted in this great remastering effort! Secondly, I wonder where you sourced this first-gen copy with the red tint from? Would it be from the blu-ray that was released alongside the DOOMED! blu-ray release, found here: https://tinyurl.com/ffdoomed As the producers of DOOMED! claim that the copy their offering is from a “first-generation source - the original 3/4” U-Matic layoff (from telecine) that was the source for the all the bootlegs out there."

It is not. It was sourced from S.J Reed.
But, I am fairly sure that the Reed DVD source comes from the same telecine, but it was probably an earlier transfer made years ago. The new blu-ray release appears to be from the same tape, but with more damage and age to the original source. So that is technically true. Look, I’m not an expert. We just got lucky with the sources and all.
We are also planning on making this upload available publicly on other streaming sites (probably not Youtube). Believe me, I’m not trying to hoard this. I just want to protect it.

I think considering the lack of decent sources, your remastering is a GIANT step up from anything floating on the web. The telecine copy available on DOOMED! Blu-Ray site does look more damaged, that’s why I was wondering where you sourced yours from.

I don’t think you’re trying to hoard this project. I think you realize that it took time to work on it and you’ve set your parameters clear that about who’s getting a copy for now: active OT users. Also, people could get a copy from you and distribute it online.

I wanted to know if you plan on posting any before/after clips to highlight the changes. I’m more interested in the actual remastering work and that entire process.

We would love to make a video about the process and the inspiration behind that. Look guys, I love this movie and I am happy you all express interest in this fanedit.
I want to maintain something:
This is a non-profit project. I will never make this available for sale, because selling fanedits is illegal. I love movies, fanedits, etc. My intent is to simply share it with those who are trustworthy first to make sure this isn’t spread into unreliable hands 😃

You don’t have to be like that man. It’s just a movie 😕
A campy one at that.

Hi there, I see a lot of people requesting links. Links will be sent to users who are reliable users of OT.com and appreciators of fanedits. This is a fanedit, no copyright infringement intended. If you made an account just now and are a new poster asking for a link, a link won’t be shared.

I just made my account, as an appreciator of fan edits and fan of cinema, I’d love to see your copy. Why choose to gatekeep something to a website I hadn’t heard of until now but went out of my way to make an account for?

My position stands.

EDIT 2025:
After being copyright struck, we have decided to no longer distribute copies of this fanedit, Fantastic Four 1994 Ultimate Remaster. We are not risking this and we have complied with this DMCA. Thanks for the support everyone, it’s been fun.

No more links will be given out for the time being but I will not rule out a comeback in the future.
I will also mirror the bonus features too publicly.

It may return after the copyright strike expires

Hey, I know this thread is super old but I seemed to have encountered a small error during the scene where Leia overlooks Cloud city. I think the ship’s exhaust is in the wrong color. See image here. Thanks for your time https://i.imgur.com/mkOQzcf.png

Everyone’s got their opinions, and not only that, but the films had more than one look. For example, Technicolor prints from that era have a distinctive yellow-greenish cast, other prints would look different. So one person could be trying to match the Technicolor look, someone else may be trying to match a different color reference, another person might be just trying for a balanced neutral look, and so on. These prints are old and I believe they require significant color correction, although others would disagree strongly.

As far as which one comes out on top, you’re going to have to ask someone else. I’m not actually a big 4K77 fan (although 2.0 looks like it might be okay), but for 4K83 I like the results of the 4K83 Remastered project.

I get that. It’s a very interesting thing. I think both are nice. I had a weird experience viewing for example, viewing 4K83 v1.6 last night. I have a 4k TV. So, I felt 1.6 had these pale colors on my PC monitor (and it does, to be fair.) But then I saw something truly amazing. The shot where it focuses on Palpatine sitting on the throne in the death star, and the stars surround him. I finally saw the illusion in effect! (This is hard to explain, I suggest trying it, late at night, with a 4k monitor in the house, and seeing that image glow, it’s truly enigmatic but beautiful.) It felt like they were really behind him! Like oh my god, I don’t see a special effect, it looks like he’s in SPACE. It was truly mystifying. I guess all these variations have different purposes and therefore, different effects really.

A common complaint (that I share) about 1.6 is that its colors are a little dull/flat, which may be what you’re describing, and remastered addresses this. You may want to give that a shot.

I don’t have an invite code to the other forums sadly. But what’s the difference between 1.6 vs Remastered?

Version numbers on 4K77 aren’t iterations, they’re variations. In other words, 1.6 is NOT considered to be the latest and greatest, just a different “branch” following a different color correction approach. 1.4 is also a branch which is just as current in its own way, just with different color correction. The biggest difference between any of these versions is typically the colors.

It takes a little getting used to. In other projects and software, higher numbers are always the version to get, superseding previous versions. Not so with 4Kxx. Although major version changes (i.e. 2.0) may indicate something worth forgetting about previous versions for.

It’s anarchy, sheer anarchy 😉

I got that, but I was wondering, why different people had different color grades of 4k77? Having seen 1.0, the green technicolor is really beautiful, although a bit distracting with some crushed blacks and all. However, 1.4 seems to have more of a natural/blue-ish tint to it. Is one more faithful to the theatrical experience? All of this I wonder, as I wish to show these versions to friends/family one day and say, ‘‘this is the way they saw it back in the day’’. But which one? lol
