The operator at Technicolor said I wasn't the only one with that problem... So much for integrity inspection...  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

It wasn't too much of a disaster because most of the offending reel contained an opera scene and so there wasn't much dialogue. What's amazing is that the film must have been shown two or three times before I saw it and the fault had not been noticed by any of the cinema staff.  |  IP: Logged Bernard Tonks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Cranleigh, Surrey, England Registered: Apr 2001 posted 08-13-2001 03:19 PM                     A friend of mine had 2 reels of "E T" dubbed in German. I had the same experience with “Jamanji”, what a shock to suddenly hear Robin Williams speaking in French when reel 5 went through. Ironically at the end of the film there was a sequence in French with English sub-titles which was part of the film. Fortunately all the patrons took it in good part and accepted re-admission tickets and no monies was lost. So look out it could happen anywhere! ------------------  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-13-2001 05:20 PM                        There's a problem that would be eliminated by DTS!  |  IP: Logged Robb Johnston Expert Film Handler Posts: 147 From: St. Louis Suburbs Registered: Nov 1999 posted 08-16-2001 06:21 PM                        A few years back, before my tenure, we recieved a dubbed print of Jackie Chan Supercop. dubbed in French that is. We lost the whole first day and the matinee of the second. Gotta love that company  |  IP: Logged Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 08-16-2001 06:34 PM                     I love all the problems with Technicolor--bad prints and reels! So gee whiz, whats the purpose of them sending out all kinds of projectionists/exhibotors publicity packages? All the publicity in the world cant't help if you don't have a quality product--unless you have a corner on the market! Oh well, 'tis an emensely overloaded crock of !  |  IP: Logged
