But it's kind of an unusual one - like the Harry Potter films, there are cases the top and bottom of the frame is opened up, but it appears that parts of the side you see in the widescreen version is chopped off. What do you reckon?

Later on I may post grabs from my DVD-R of the 1994 VHS. I remember a few instances where you could see more on the top and bottom. For example during one of the newscasts you could see it says THE EVENING REPORT or something like that behind the anchor. On the FS DVD the word THE was or mostly was cropped out.

If I remember correctly, certain videocassette releases of Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone, as well as the original DVD release (all right eye only) were open matte at 4:3.

Curious if this open matte version of Terminator 2 is the same as the one available on the spleen.

theterminatorfans website shared full frame Super35 images from Terminator 2's 3D master. Colour and contrast are horribly washed out and de-grained. But You see the full 4:3 image without any cropping, unlike the Pal 4L3 DVD which was selectively framed.

I am almost certain that now an open matte 1.78:1 cable HD version of T2 will be available on telly, just like the open-matte broadcast version of Titanic. Keep an eye out folks T2 open matte might be on TV soon.

You really listed also Food of the Gods 2? Ahah. If you start with that kind of movies you'll need to buy a dedicated server to host all the entries Big Grin
I'll remember to pass you more titles (basically every VHS tape I have that doesn't state "widescreen"!)
AKA thxita on OriginalTrilogy
I preserve movies as they first appeared in Italy.

I wonder what the aspect ratio will be of the 3D version of the film coming to theaters later this year.

Either way, I will be there as I have never seen the film in theaters.

EDIT: According to the following review, it seems the aspect ratio will be the same as the blu.
