Streets of Fire (Project CRT #8 v1.0)

Part of the Project CRT, for more background read here:

This is the Shout copy of SoF corrected to look how it does on my Sony BVM monitor.

Early Comparison: Original/CRT


The video was further refined using pictures The Aluminum Falcon took at a 35mm presentation. Particularly lower the green slightly and raising the yellow slightly. Additionally, I fixed some compression artifacts and other junk from the Shout BD

The audio has the 2.0, 4.1 and 5.1 from the 2-disc set. I'm syncing the PCM 2.0 from the US WS LD and the P&S Japanese LD from BDgeek. I have the DD 2.0 from the US DVD on its way.

Video:

Audio:

3. PCM 2.0 Dolby Surround (from the JPN LD - SF078-0054)
4. DTS-HD MA 4.1 (from the Shout BD)
5. DTS-HD MA 2.0 (from the Shout BD)
6. DTS-HD MA 5.1 (from the Shout BD)

Coming Soon

Excellent looking regrade. @PDB I am buying another copy of the Streets of Fire steelbook with the 4.1 track but the shipping estimates say Nov. 4 to Nov. 20, so I wouldn't wait for that to arrive.

Hopefully this copy rips and you'll be able to add the 4.1 track!

Alright, got my new copy and have the 4.1 track. Send me a PM If you're interested in a copy as well.

Already messaged you @PDB

Thanks for doing that TAF!

Anytime! I'm curious if the audio experts prefer this 4.1 or the LD

Tbh Depends of the consumer, either play the native 4.1 from your speakers from your reciver or you could play the LD Audio With Pro Logic in case if you only have 2 speakers

A better sounding matrixed mix is still much preferred to a less dynamic or filtered discrete mix.

Too be clear, I haven't heard either of them. Though I'll be sure to compare them when PDB release this

The top is the corrected version? I've seen SoF in 35mm and 70mm, and it looks more like the top. The bottom one is green and desaturated...

@Nick_M funny that, I saw SoF in 70mm in the last two months in a good condition archival print and even provided @PDB with reference photos. Personally, I was struck by the green of the print, confirmed by the photos, and think that PDB's correction nails that look.

YMMV but I find a lot of 80s films tend to have their blues run more cyan than purple, which the Shout as-is has a lot of.

Also don't see it being desaturated.

Fantastic Project! Love the movie!

Thanks a lot for this one PDB!
