[Proposal] Cross of Iron (1977) grindhouse German theatrical print audio sync project

[Plissken1138]

Only few days ago did I learn that there is a 2K scan of German theatrical print of Sam Peckinpah's Cross of Iron as a grindhouse bonus feature on Cross of Iron 2 (yeah, that exists) Blu-ray. Holy smokes. It's German dub only, as well as the main feature, the sequel. I searched the forum but haven't found anything on possible Cross of Iron LD audio captured. I would like to try to sync original English audio to this one, so if anyone has the LD audio captured and is willing to share, please let me know.

Good luck, this is a great movie.

looks like this was never released on LD in the US. there's a copy on ebay for $28 shipped from japan though.

I'll be syncing the English LPCM from the Blu-ray to this, removing badly patched DVD frames, making it straight grindhouse. Won't be replacing DVD frames with Blu-ray frames.

It will most certainly be just a lossless video cut, original 25i video slowed down to 24i, with German audio matched.
I'm digging the colors of this scan so much more than flattened and greened out Blu-ray.

this is now available on spleen.
