I'm sure that I'm not the first person to see this auction ...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/262549121060?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649

I wonder, is this a magnetic sound print of STAR TREK The Wrath of Khan, and if so, a digest or full feature ...

Or, could this be an optical sound super 8mm airline feature print? that IS possible.

Interesting this, Osi...

There is an "unofficial" 3 x 400ft version of Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan" with magnetic sound.

Marketing were going to release this and made some test prints before going under in 1982.

So 3 x 400ft magnetic abridged versions do exist.

The leader here shows a magnetic print with "Star Trek II" on it.

And the leader i-dent "82-6516" is significant.

However, the description is vague..."3. Star Trek II- Great color on the WB logo. Leader has "Star Trek II" written on it, see picture."

WB??? Warner Bros. ??? Star Trek is a Paramount release so tread carefully here and ask a lot of questions... [Wink]

I think this is the ultra-rare Loony Tunes Star Trek:

"Space! The Final Fwontier...."

This would be in the top ten wanted list for me, i thought the wrath of Kahn was /still is the best of the Star trek movies and 3 x 400ft would be great, even better if a good print turned up on 16mm full length. [Wink]

Apparently the Marketing print was masked for widescreen.

I believe Uncle Barry had some for sale many moons ago.

It would indeed be a collector gem.

David, have you seen the American 3 x 400ft? What was it like?

Intriguing - the leader certainly looks American and not a Marketing release. I hope the buyer is a Forum member and can eventually tell us more!

You took the words out of my mouth Adrian ...

PLEASE!!! If the buyer is a member of the forum, please give us some screenshots when you have the time! [Smile]

I would be willing to bet that, since it was a very late release, it might well be AGFA film stock, (as "Raiders of the Lost Ark 400ft was in large part, AGFA film stock!)
