Hi All,
I've read that the Die Hard feature was released on 5x600,forgive me for asking but would this film fit on two 1200ft reels as sometimes the 600ft reels aren't full,does anyone have this print? Regards Mark.

Yes it does Mark. I have it and I have placed it on two Elmo reels. Obviously you have to cut reel 3 at the point where the welding scene takes place but then it fits perfectly, albeit up to the edge rim, but not over spooled.

This is one Super 8 scope feature I would love to get along with Silence of the lambs

Hi Tom,I will be listing it at some point so will let you know Regards Mark.

Might be better to leave it uncut Mark if you are selling it. Not everyone wants features on reels greater than 800ft. Just a thought. You may well get a better price for it if left on 5x600ft original reels, especially if you have the original box. [Smile]
