Seeing the great news from Larry with regard to his forthcoming release made me wonder what, and when, were the last Super 8 releases from US distributors? I recall that some time after the longer surviving companies such as Canterbury, Jeff and Red Fox went out of business, there were still one or two more obscure companies operating, although I think one of these was just reprinting Thunderbird trailer reels. One example of a late release I have imported from the USA is a 200' promo from 'Star Trek 4', in a plain box, with no indication of who produced it.
The last US release I can recall seeing advertised, possibly in the early 1990s was a b/w reel (possibly 600') that was a compliation of short items, maybe daysets, etc. Does anyone have this and can say more about it? Any thoughts on whether this or other releases represented the end until now?
