Two Film-Techers mentioned something like this in an unrelated post from long ago.I happened upon a movie with scenes repeating at the Regal in New Roc City (New Rochelle NY). It was Brother, the yakuza/gangsta movie starring Beat Takeshi and Omar Epps. About a minute or so of the movie got repeated halfway through. The part that got repeated was the touch football game on the beach, followed by the scene in the bar when a yakuza is being told to cut his finger off. I should add that the top half of the picture was covered in black before that sequence repeated. Also, the last 5 minutes of the following reel were blurred and out of focus. Normally I would have told the theater manager about the repeating scenes. This time I figured, No sense bothering them -- Brother is probably a one-week programmer and the booth staff didn't notice this when it built the print. My hunches were proven correct. FWIW, a number of Regal megaplexes booked Brother because of the chain's ban on Rush Hour 2 (New Line).
