Osi, thank you for your input. I had the original 400ft reel, then I found a 2x400ft version at the BFCC (generic box with scan of reel#1 's artwork). Now that they are squeezed on a 600ft, I realize it could have been 400+200. I was fooled by uncompletely filled 400 reels (like 300+ ft on each, like some U8 releases). It's adding some consecutive new scenes to the edit : After the bonfire sequence, the "Have I found my place?" song by Gonzo and Kermit's meditation time…
New material : We witness the return of Dr Teeth and Electric Mayhem, there's some riding on the bus, the henchman dressed as cop warning about the frog killer, arrival at ghost town, meeting with Bunsen Honeydew and Beeker, lab visit, western shootout (Doc vs Kermit and the gang), Animal (as his giant self) saves the day,
then return to original reel (Arrival at H'wood and meeting with Orson Welles).
Quality in on par with reel1, top notch colours, fine grain, good sound.
