The two titles above are my favorite but I have never seen them offered in 8mm.

Any info if they have ever been released in 8mm as commercial prints or Airline prints or (this is new for me)Oil Rigs prints?

thanks for the info,

Winbert,

Derann sells a full length (4x600') stereo Super 8mm print of "Platoon".

Hi Winbert,

Most Oil Rig prints in Australia were 16mm and supplied from the various 16mm distributors. I did not know of any in Super 8, but it is certainly possible as Twentieth Century Fox here in Melbourne once had Super 8 along with their 16mm, 35mm and 70mm prints. That is what i call a film exchange!

Winbert,

"Apocalypse Now" was released in Italy by SILMA.
