Author Topic: Up In Smoke (1978) Tom Doyle Expert Film Handler Posts: 176 From: Bristol, CT, USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 04-13-2004 10:15 PM                     Up In Smoke (1978) aka: Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke 5 reels 91 minutes mono Paramount Pictures Kodak 2383 film stock Correct me if I'm wrong, but this film was originally scope 2.35. The print we got was a 1.33 TV print. The cans were clearly labeled "Pan-Scanned" and "Formatted for TV" and the image was clearly not anamorphic. Strangely enough, it was not edited for television (it is an R-rated film). Even stranger, the print was struck in 2002. I told our programmer about this and he told me this was the only print he could get. We screened it in Academy and it looked ok, but it would really look awful if cropped to 1.85.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 04-13-2004 10:53 PM                    You are correct the original was scope.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 08-23-2009 08:30 PM                 It has been 1957 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Tom Doyle Expert Film Handler Posts: 176 From: Bristol, CT, USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 08-23-2009 08:30 PM                     I just handled print #01002 and it is SCOPE. It's missing a few frames and has a bit of wear at the reel changes but is in like-new condition otherwise. DFS box label says "Paramount/DW" and incorrectly states "quad track" filmstock is Kodak 2383 dated 2006 all reels have extra long head and tail leaders written in magic marker on all head leaders: "color comp answer print" no lab cues, but scribed cues have been added Some of the leaders have the comment "recut" printed in, some dated Aug.
