The Final Countdown (1980)
Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen, James Farentino
Complete feature. Flat, faded Eastman print on 3 reels.
Nice print, no noticeable lines or splices.

Also included is an additional first reel with very nice LPP color. Strange part here is that the audio goes out of sync about halfway through (when the storm approaches). I've never come across that in another 16mm print.

Price is $60 plus shipping.

Audio going out of sync is due to the time travel aspect [Big Grin]

I love the smell of film in the morning.

Brian,

Your Countdown quote has been conveyed!

David,

Excellent point, since it does coincide with the arrival of that Twilight Zone vortex!

Loved this movie when I saw it at the theater...and then...never saw it again. Even bought the soundtrack album at the time. I've never seen it on TV or listed for sale on 16mm.
Perhaps it's for sale in another time dimension...1941. In that time sphere the U.S. attacks Pearl Harbor on its own because the President is bored. The Japanese retaliate because they had planned to attack first, but were beaten to the punch by Roosevelt, who was the president of the Abe-Delancy Beaver Hat Company of Cleveland at the time.
