I’m looking for the American DVD release of F.I.S.T. (1978) starring Sly Stallone. This US DVD contains English Closed Captions (SDH), which can be accessed using a suitable decoder.

All European DVD releases are based on the shorter European version. The US version, however, is approximately 15 minutes longer.

In addition to the Closed Captions, the US DVD also contains standard English subtitles, which can be selected directly from the DVD menu. I want cc only but not standard subs from DVD menu.

Does anyone here own the US DVD? If so, I would really appreciate it if someone could provide me with an ISO file or the complete DVD structure.

Would anyone be able to share it with me?

Thanks in advance!]]>

Comparison by me of what the open-matte frames look like, sourced from an old trailer. I happen to think they look gorgeous.

P.S. I am new here--If there are more obvious resources for me to check out, please let me know. It looks like more discussion has been about finding the LaserDisc version for audio reasons.]]>

What makes VHS Hi-Fi sound better in this case?

(Personal Question I want an answer for)
Does the “It’s A Wonderful Life 45th Anniversary” VHS sound better than any other version (the Citizen Kane 50th Anniversary Turner VHS came out in 1991, and so did the It’s a Wonderful Life 45th Anniversary VHS) because it has less noise reduction?]]>

Years ago, with the help of a friend that spoke French, I constructed subtitles in English with translations for the non-English segments when the extended version was first released outside the U.S. (but Warner Bros. prevented a U.S. release).

Now there is the different extended Director's Cut from Criterion and I've come to the conclusion that I actually like the U.S. theatrical cut best.

As stupid as that sounds, the lead character, Claire, is much more likeable in that version. Also, there is some anti-American slams in the Director's cut that annoy me.

I was considering using Criterion's release and an old German DVD and U.S. laserdisc transfer as a guide to constructed an HD theatrical version, except it's beyond my abilities at the moment.

The problem being that there's credits in places where there isn't in the Criterion version, there's some commentator voice overs in the theatrical cut to make up for missing footage... basically there is a lot of differences. That's not taking into account some of the serious color changes.

Has anyone been considering trying to make this reconstruction?]]>

Does anyone have a PCM rip Scarface (1983) LD? Looking to sync it to a Blu-ray and 4k versions.

There is a thread here, with already synced one, but I didn't get any response.

Thanks,
Alex]]>

Original post talking about the phantom menace theatircal mix:
It can either be from the NTSC VHS, Japanese laserdisc, or a 35mm print. It can also be unsynced.]]>

If anybody has a rip of the Mono mix from the reissued 4k steelbook of Bridge on the River Kwai, that would be great.

Sony is SOOOO notorious for gatekeeping movies on steelbooks. I hate it.]]> This post is now irrelevant

Reel 6 starts with Que giving the troops the Cybertronian weapons, basically the beginning of the War of Chicago. The rest of the film from that point on, from reel 6 to the end of reel 7, is the complete last 42 minutes of the film all the way into the end of the credits.

If I decided to do this project, it wouldn't be posted anywhere online, would only be available for those who potentially helped donate to the project.

At this point, I'm just curious to what the main consensus of doing this one is. I think it's worth it, because of the action, the depth of photoreal imagery, mixed with the vibrant colors. It would be incredible to watch, just as it was presented in theaters.
