Would anyone happen to know if there is ANY footage in the 400 footer NOT in the 3 x 400? Just saw a 400 footer on ebay..and wondering. Thanks, as always, Rob

I hoestly don't know, but it would be interesting, as the three parter is almost an hour, and the original film was only 90 minutes long. It's great fun, if a little dated, but that's 70's sci-fi for ya!

Hi Robert.

I can't remember when, but I believe this issue came up before, and someone on the forum stated that there was no additional footage on the 400 foot version.

I remember this, because I have the West World 3x400 too. While nearly perfect in its editing, it does lose something with the abrupt ending.

I have actually thought of trying to film the last couple of minutes from a flat screen TV at 24 fps, splice it on the end, record sound and see how it looks.

I might just be crazy enough to try it [Cool]
