Just watched my newest super 8 optical sound feature, "Sudden Impact" (Clint Eastwood BANG BANG!). Interesting feature, as it is on Kodak SP and does has some brwoning to the blacks, but it has a title card before the feature begins ...
"edited for airline presentation"
... that has near perfect blacks, but then you go to the fade in of the Warners logo, and it goes from decent near perfect blacks to a brwon fade in, so I'm betting that when this was originally printed, it probably had marginal blacks to the feature in the first place.
FUN FILM!

The sound is very good on this print. This will be a very interesting review (as I'm going to write one) as, while it is edited, i think most of what was edited was just that rape scene in the flashback, because it has all the "bi*ch", "sh*t" and other cussing, so this is one that they either didn't pay too much attention too, or when it came to editing, (by the early to mid 80's), they were more interested in scenes with nudity than anything else. Very sharp as well.

Just watched Meteor 3 x 400ft. Great print tho not sharp, bright colours and booming sound. I have tow copies, one on a 1200ft spool and now the correct 3 x 400 reels in their original boxes, very pleased. I also ran both GOLD on 16mm full feature, adapted scope, ie masked and then the 2 x 400 super 8 scope version of GOLD(again I have 2 copies of this film) I have two GS1200s and 2 ST1200s, there must be something in my brain that makes me get two of everything? Maybe Im Noah, saving 2 of everything super 8 etc.

I just watched my "Treasure Island", well, it's not mine anymore, it just sold, but here are the screenshots from it! ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Oh, Melvin, I apologize for not replying to you sooner! "Sudden Impact" has very good sound for an optical, very loud, nearly comparable to a good magnetic soundtrack,. i was surprised as well, but by the early to mid 80's they had really mastered that optical track for the airlines. I was also surprised to find all the cussing in the film as well!
By the way, my apologies on the crappy shots. I'm close to being the worst screenshot taker in the world. Th film has a very good sharpness that you just don't see in these shots.
