Yesterday I watched reel 2 of Raiders of the lost ark super 8mm Stereo Scope, then watched my new print of Empire strikes back super 8mm stereo scope. the sound on this is amazing. Then I watched the last crusade 16mm flat. The wife does not know what she has been missing, she's been away all weekend.

They made a Last Crusade that was 18mm? [Smile]

Just kidding! But seriously I thought that film was only released in scope?

Your right Tom I am a very lucky chap, I never thought I would ever get a full length print.
I have found a lot of the time that super 8 stereo has sometimes sounded muddy, but both Raiders and empire have really clear stereo tracks.
Well spotted Alan, I should wear my glasses when posting on the forum. I would love a scope print of crusade but this one will do for now, it is a really clean colourful print.
I just need to get my hands on a scope print of Jaws and close Encounters. anyone?

Great screenshots. Rumor has it that I have Derek's copy of "Close Encounters" in Scope but no way to truly find out. He can't tell us! Not ready to move it on yet if ever. I have Jaws in flat. I would love Jaws in Scope. That is one film that really would look great in scope. I saw one copy a while back but it was missing some footage.
Did you get Empire from Germany?

Not as a full feature Phillip as far as I'm aware.Certainly never seen one advertised in their catalogues.
Alan here has one as we know so someone printed some but I have no idea who?

Maybe Italian or German prints perhaps?
