Member The Dragon Posted March 22, 2013 Member Share Posted March 22, 2013 This is the first release I have this. I remeber when everything un certified got taken off the shelfs. There was this big video shop in rotherham it put everything that was for sale in this little room downstairs, i was brought up with manners so i let this woman go ahead of me. she went straight to the only copy of fist of fury.. gutted once again. lol Drats!!! The fact you can recall those events show how much it meant to you. She probably tossed or erased over the thing in a year's time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I found The Killer on VHS at a pawn shop ten years ago, bought it and took home only to find that 'Thirty Something' was recorded over it. I still have nightmares about it.

Member dbmaster514 Posted March 25, 2013 Member Share Posted March 25, 2013 That should be a criminal offence. Indeed, I have had that happen to me more than enough times to make me wonder if they were too cheap to buy a blank tape? BTW, I just transfered my laserdisc to a DVD9 just working on restoring the original red Warner Communications logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the UK and it is really difficult to transfer an NTSC LD to a PAL DVD recorder! I use an old Liteon DVD recorder as it accepts NTSC input, problem is it is pre 2005 and the compression quality isn't great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a magnavox Mrv 640, it only records to DVD5s but I merged them and edited out the menus and replaced the Warner logo on the computer (Also made it 16:9 anamorphic widescreen). Its very hard to find a dual layer recorder here, they are very rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member saltysam Posted March 25, 2013 Member Share Posted March 25, 2013 Used to own the laserdisc years ago,moved it on.Seem to recall Video Watchdog reviewing it and saying the framing was really poor on the transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been the fullscreen release. I have the letterboxed version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the letterboxed version. nope,it was the letterboxed version they reviewed.the reviewer said it was framed poorly. Still,probably the best version of the theatrical cut out there.

Member jiujitsu77 Posted March 25, 2013 Member Share Posted March 25, 2013 i was under the assumption that you needed a 35mm print or even a 16mm rental from warners back in the day that are floating about. i know film is an outdated/expensive medium, but you do very often come across what you want plus a whole lot more! I do have an original 35mm print of Enter The Dragon from 1973. I don't even really need it restored. it is in great condition, given a few minor flaws that make it all the more real on the big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Markgway Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I saw a 35mm print in the late 90s in Edinburgh, but it was the old UK censored print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member sdog2006 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Member Share Posted March 26, 2013 I'm going to The Edinburgh Filmhouse on April 16th to see what is apparently a NEW digitally restored transfer of Enter the Dragon. I will let you all know how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not put your "warts n' all" version onto a limited edition (no-profit) dvd. Maybe everyone here who wants one (me included) would be willing to chip in to have it transferred. i know Warner's wouldn't be happy, but seeing as they don't seem to want to do it....?
