Also sort of related. Does anyone have the 1st gen BD of Fight Club? The one that has the same transfer as the DVHS?

This one?

No sorry, forgot to add the 1st generation German BD. The German part was the important part. I edited the original post.

Thanks stwd4nder2

Yes, I have it somewhere in case no one has kept a copy. It's an mkv as the disc would crash not only players, but also computers.

Thanks Stamper. If you are willing I might take you up on that.

Was the disc mastered with too many streams causing the crashing? I can’t remember the exact reason why it did that.

1st generation German BD.

I can snag the full BD if you need it or parts of it.

[PDB]

That’s would be great Yarp. I just need the main movie.

Just some notes cause I'm familiar with a few of these:

20000 Leagues Under The Sea (different transfer compared to the BD?) I don't see any difference between my blu-ray and the web-dl I have access to but transfers can vary between streaming services.
Dial M for Murder (1.33 Version) Yeah, the HDTV broadcast was full frame
Gunga Din  (Not on BD?) Correct
K2  (Not on BD?) Correct. And there's actually 2 versions of this movie floating around. The UK version has different music, by Hans Zimmer, and has some extra scenes.
The Blue Max (different transfer compared to the BD) The 1st release GER blu is probably what you have and it matches the DVD. The newer blu-rays are all based on the remaster which looks incredible outside of the new color changes. Would absolutely love to see someone go back and regrade this to get rid of the teal.
Two Mules for Sister Sara (different colors compared to the BD)

Had no idea there were different cuts of k2

Yarp could I be cheeky and get the Fight Club link as well? This has eluded me for years

Good to know. My copy is from iTunes and I compared it to pics of the BD online as I don't have the BD. I'll check again.

Much like dvdmike, I didn't know there were two versions. Almost sounds like Ridley Scott's Legend. I wonder if you can sync the US soundtrack to the European one?

Also have the iTunes version but I assume it is the same as the German BD. It has a ton dirt on it. Might be a fun project to regrade it like you said.

Thanks for the rundown, Yarp.

If I can find/get a copy Zoidberg, I'll send it your way.
