A 35mm for Bullet in the Head is interesting too.
msp also mentioned (on OT, I think) that he had a version of John Woo's festival cut that had been telecined onto VHS. Makes me wonder how that one would have looked compared to the bootleg that circulates. Thanks given by: LucasGodzilla

I wonder if any of those who were working on it / interested in it would feel about the 35mm prospect. 4K print scan to work with (rather than an SD upscale) that'd likely include the burned-in English subtitles in high quality (rather than the VHS & LD sources) given it's a dubbed print. ![[Image: ivwz24G.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/ivwz24G.jpg)

Ive contacted Iceprick about this. Ive no money or time to handle this by myself, so I'm putting the feelers out to see what others think. Id honestly much prefer a Bullet In the Head preservation, as Hard Boiled at least has a decent HD scan. Thanks given by: LucasGodzilla

Also thanks for the info about what corrections were made; Makes sense why the colors are wrong despite being boasted to have been worked extensively on. It's nothing really and happened over a number of years. There was nothing done to me spitefully. I just like credit where credit is due. I wasn't going to say anything this public about it as it seems pretty petty, but I had to be honest also.

I wouldn't mind to help you though with the preservation / restoration in the scenario it get funded and scanned but lack the time to work with the material. As for money, I suppose that's what fundraising threads are for eh? I mean, I've seen a fair bit of interest in the movie with good reasoning as to why it should get scanned (no proper HD source and the print is supposedly in mint condition), so I'm sure with time and patience it'll eventually get crowdfunded.

So....
I'm going to back out of organizing / preserving Bullet in the Head. I seriously have no time for anything else other than whats going on in my personal life. I don't even get time to watch whole films these days! I realized last night when I managed to watch the whole of Wolf, that Id not managed to watch a film in it's entirety in the past 3 month's (and that was only because Id had a half day at work). I'm happy to contribute. Thanks given by: alleycat , LucasGodzilla , pipefan413

So looks like HKR bit the dust now.....guess that Bullet To The Head restoration is going nowhere.
