We ran it with undersize apertures (0.650" high instead of 0.690") and it still required framing adjustments from reel-to-reel to keep them out of view. I wonder if Bill's print was of different provenance. This print had various signs of shifty labwork, and had nothing to suggest it was produced by Deluxe. Color was very unsaturated and low-contrast; subtitles (not laser) had an odd chromatic aberration when they were atop light-colored elements; high negative dirt; and, of course, the horrible negative splices. Our print also had a spliced-in Tartan logo (Tartan was the UK distributor). Technicolor's cans are mislabled with the wrong reel count (6 instead of 5), and the wrong stock (Fuji). "Wu jian dao" is the Mandarin title. "Mou gaan dou" is the Cantonese.  |  IP: Logged
