I think you left something out of your description that is very important. Sound or silent version?

[Osi Osgood]

Oh! Sound, and a nice booming soundtrack! (Bonk! Anybody who knows this short will get it!)

[Philip Hamilton]

What exactly is the difference between the Green Box and Pink Box versions of BlackHawk films?

[Osi Osgood]

... and THAT is what that post in the 8mm section is supposed to be about! At times, Blackhawk would improve they're negative materials or more footage would be added. I couldn't honesty say if there are any differences between the pink or green box editions, I just state the color of the box for accuracies sake.

Hi Phil, when Lee Enterprises took the helm in 1975, box manufacture changed because the pink ones been around a long time. If there were new materials used, simply examine a pink-boxed HOG WILD versus an olive-green HOG WILD and so on, just to match scene texture...by the time silver boxes came in late 1979, most prints were cleaner, not necessarily due to pre-print.....my one task is to find out the producer of those boxes since 1952...Shorty

Shorty, once again you have been a "cine blessing", in that I didn't know the order as to when the different boxes came to be! So, what IS the proper order, from begining to end? And, perchance, could you place it in the topic I n the 8mm Forum section concerning the Lads? Much appreciated, Osi.
