Osi,

Those three Ken Films (silent, B&W) scope releases were the two Ghidrah extracts and Godzilla vs. The Thing.

Gerald,

Thanks for clearing that up. I had forgotten that Monster Island was actually Godzilla vs. Gigan with the insect aliens!

Michael,

It is a fairly sharp print. Yes, that's a GS Xenon I was using.

No, sorry, I can't ... Same with North Sea Hijack really. Some places it's all good, but other places are red. And there's no splices or anything. I was thinking exactly the same

Vidar, Glad your "Strange Report" episode Shrapnel is in English. I bought a copy of this from Quality Products an old company in the UK. The print was quite good, but and a big BUT the sound was Italian. No problem sending it back.

I think they were released bt Techno Films an Italian company, Derann bought most of the stock when they closed in Italy.

They did quite a few of ITC titles "UFO" "The Protectors" just a couple that spring to mind. Of couse they also did a lot of the Warner Merrie Melodies.

Hi Vidar,

When I was asking about "Dirty Dozen", I did not realize that you bought that once from me through my friend in Auckland (NZ).

Were those your screen shots coming from the same print?

If so, then it is truly all films from the collector NZ I bought are in very good condition?

And I am no selling the rest:

[CHEAP] Full feature films in New Zealand only

for cheap.

BTW, what reel is used to spice them onto 1200'?

thanks

Tonight was the night for the brilliant full scope/feature Terminator 2.
What a movie, and what a great scope film, i was too into the movie tonight to take screen shots, this is by far one of our best super 8 features,
The quality is superb as is the sound. i bought this one some years ago at a great price, it was advertised as B condition but aside two lab splices,(both very smooth) and the odd light line here and there,there is just one weird fault with this print which upon inspection is not my actual film, its within the print & i may have mentioned it before, theres about a 20-25ft section near the end,(oddly enough where this lab fault starts is where the second lab splice is), where the focus goes in and out, as much as its slightly annoying because up until this point everything is A1 but due to how hard it was to find this feature it wasnt anywhere near bad enough to send it back & am i glad i kept it [Wink]
Those of you who have this one will understand what imean,& for those of you who dont, its definatly a must for any scope collection. One of the very best.

Winbert, I haven't checked the reel it's on ... Just used it as it was. I am not too concerned with types of reels (should I be?) as long as they are not damaged and could tear the film.

Vidar, those later plastic reel (made by Taylor reel) is the worst ever. I think those 1200' blue reels are made by this company.

The NZ collector who sold the films to me never told what reel was used for 1200' but told me that Elmo 800' reel were used for features spooled on 2 x 800'.

I just wondered if you get that Dirty Dozen on Elmo 1200' reel because the reel itself is now worth around $30, while you won the film for less than that [Wink]

cheers,

I think they were made by the 'Plastic Reel Corporation of America' I have one which has a larger diameter than the ELMO 1200ft and its not too good for take-up, but OK for feed spool.

The ones I have from 'Taylor Reel' are steel 2400ft these are well made.

Saw three films today ... Started off with The Towering Inferno, 3x400' ... Sadly reel 2 is much lower in quality than 1 and 3
-

Then I saw Viva Las Vegas, 3x400' ... A bit too much dancing for me, but the print is very good
-

-

Then I watched a cartoon ... The Fox and the Hound, both 200' on a 400'

Hi Vidar, your Pink Tail Fly has a lot nicer color then mine. Is it a Walton print?

Vidar,

I didn't know there was a 3x400 of "Viva Las Vegas". Your copy looks great. There are only two Elvis movies I really like. "Viva Las Vegas" and "Roustabout". I don't have either on film, though. Just DVD.

Your 3x400 "Towering Inferno" looks really good, too. My copy, like yours, has two good reels (1 and 2) and one that's fading (reel 3). I watched it again last week.

You can watch it here.

I also have the 400' "Building a Blockbuster" featurette. Neat behind-the-scenes stuff.

Thanks. Yes, the Viva Las Vegas is looking good, one of my better prints. And the Pink Tail Fly is a Walton. It do have two sound drop outs, sadly, but can live with it.

Vidar ...

Nice find that Highlander, but I noticed that the earlier shots are VERY bluish. Is just one reel of it like that or is it rather bluish through-out?

Is that the 1951 version starring Alistar Sims? Great movie, I have it to AND it is a very nice print, complete with the British ratings board certificate at the beginning.

Osi,the Highlander isn't that bad on screen. Don't know why the Nikon D3200 does what it does. Sometimes it looks like it "enhances" colors. But it is from two different prints. The ending IS quite blue, but it's due to the backlight in the movie itself. The pictures with Sean Connery is from the print I bought from Hugh, but it do look okay on screen
