Because it seems to me that this one was scope. Of course it has been 20 years since I officially handled the print.  |  IP: Logged John H.

We ran it as a midnight movie, and unfortunately....it bombed, and we loss our asses on it. Color and condition of the print was very good. Stereo sound.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-26-2006 05:21 AM                     I ran "Adventure" on the original release that summer of '85, thus I remember the info that I posted.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 07-24-2011 03:09 PM                 It has been 2005 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Jack Theakston Master Film Handler Posts: 411 From: New York, USA Registered: Sep 2007 posted 07-24-2011 03:09 PM                     The print we got last week (#21 or #22—I'll have to check) was somewhat disappointing. Very rough around the reel changes, and an entire gag (Pee-wee walking around in the dark just before meeting Large Marge) was completely missing. Unfortunately, Warner Bros. is no longer striking new prints, so unless there's a better print (and we didn't get it), this is very disappointing.  |  IP: Logged
