In terms of original mono, I believe I have the theatrical mono of both Dirty Harry and Magnum Force.
I have the original Rental Tape of Dirty Harry from 1979, I believe it has the Mono, albeit not great quality. I also have the 1983 Pan and Scan Laserdisc, which might have the mono as well but higher quality.

Here is the Japanese laserdisc of Magnum Force. It has burned-in Japanese subtitles, but has English audio. I also I have the Japanese VHS, which is the same as the laserdisc.

What about Magnum Force opening title? Does it have a .44 sound when the gun shoots at the camera at the end?

I’d be interested in both Dirty Harry and Magnum Force mono tracks if you can rip them.

Yes, the 44 magnum sound is there at the end of the opening titles. I don’t have a myspleen tracker account, but I have the Magnum Force LD, Dirty Harry VHS and LD on my MEGA account. Will upload the JP VHS as well soon. I don’t know if we’re allowed to share links on the forum but I can PM them to you and anyone who wants them

Info & Help Wanted: Robocop - 1987 35mm Print in 1.85:1 Apsect Ratio possibility

I made comparison with BD, and sadly it’s only the 1.85:1 version…

[Yeah, the only 1.66:1 version is the criterion collection version. The DVD of that is only a small step above VHS quality and the laserdisc is only slightly better than that. Both are non-anamorphic letterbox so resolution is quite bad.]

^^^^Disregard that, I misread your post. Yeah that’s a bummer.

I’ve been browsing the forums for a while but this is my first time posting. Robocop is one of my favorite movies and I’d love to see a remaster of the film print. I don’t know how much it would cost to scan it (or who would have access to the technology) but it’s currently at $150 plus $200 s&h. I could put up the money to buy it, but don’t know how or where to get it transferred to digital.

For those who are familiar with the quality of prints, is this one worth investing in?
