[Proposal] Predator 2 Widescreen 2.05:1 version

[PaulJ5446]

I used to own the wide-screen pal vhs. It had a gold sleeve and was indeed in 2.05:1 ratio. The print was really nice if memory serves. I found this thread as I have been searching for another copy. I mistakingly threw it out with other tapes in 2012. Massive regret.
I have the Laserdisc and it's definitely not the same ratio and closer to the 1.85 cuts on other formats.
My search continues...

the UHD 4k version of this movie is being released on Tuesday, hopefully someone can do a comparison between the DVD/BD and UHD version

[Bigrob]

the UHD version of this movie is currently avaible. someone do a comparison of this version vs the previous BD/DVD

Mod Note: please no direct links to torrents.

Adding ‘please’ to the end of that would probably help with your request

Hi. Long time lurker here, and I just wanted to mention that I have a TV recording from 2006, that seems to be a proper 4:3 open matte version

Cool! Indeed I'm awaiting for the UHD to check how to make the most of all versions.

Someone's selling that widescreen Japanese LD on facebook for $10. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_f...=155957696

That's not just somebody, it''s Kevin Kobos, and he's an awesome seller of all things LD Japan.

Hey I'm new to this forum, but I've been really curious about this version of Predator 2 for a long time. I would love it if one of us here could stumble across a copy, then convert it to DVD format and privately share it between us. 

Has anyone been able to find one? I've never spotted one.

Yes, English audio, but with Danish subs. It's a bit odd to watch at times, because the cloaking SFX clearly weren't intended for a 4:3 version, so sometimes the Predator(s) are missing part of their legs
