Another episode in the "right" color grading series...
 Found an interesting comparison here and I've added the HDTV caps; from top to bottom: Italian VHS, DVD, HDTV (BD should be the same): ![[Image: predator-cielo-rosso-1.jpg]](https://aliens30anni.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/predator-cielo-rosso-1.jpg) ![[Image: predator-cielo-rosso-2.jpg?w=600]](https://aliens30anni.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/predator-cielo-rosso-2.jpg?w=600) ![[Image: Predator_01_HDTV.jpg]](https://s20.postimg.cc/w5ds7el3h/Predator_01_HDTV.jpg) ![[Image: predator-cielo-rosso-1a.jpg?w=600]](https://aliens30anni.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/predator-cielo-rosso-1a.jpg?w=600) ![[Image: predator-cielo-rosso-2a.jpg?w=600]](https://aliens30anni.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/predator-cielo-rosso-2a.jpg?w=600) ![[Image: Predator_02_HDTV.jpg]](https://s20.postimg.cc/u23czqlal/Predator_02_HDTV.jpg)
I'd be curious to see what the grading is on the jungle scenes for the Italian VHS.

The VHS looks heavily red pushed, you can see it in the text.

I have the French P&S Laserdisc. Should I cap it then?

Which was like the DVD but browner skin tones, less red and highlights particularly in the smoke/mist were bluish Actually it was more blue overall. Similar to the French and Spanish trailers on YouTube but a lot more saturated. They looked nothing like that VHS tape

I have the Pal UK and NTSC LDs but looking at the dvd in the last shot and the vhs I would say the dvd is closer

Wish I could remember what the 35mm print looked like when I saw it

The images are from my buddy and fellow blogger "Lucius Etruscus", they were posted on his blog about the Alien universe https://aliens30anni.wordpress.com (it's in Italian) where he often compares different home video editions. If you want to see any specific scene I can ask him to pass me a screengrab.

I preserve movies as they first appeared in Italy.
