Author Topic: The Last Legion (2007) Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 08-17-2007 06:27 PM                     Let me first say this...IT is what IT is. This film dosn't have the production value of say Gladiator or King Arthur. But if your a fan of this genre then you will most likley like it. It was good, there were some really cheesy lines, and I swear there was a scene where Colin Firths character was giving a speach that the background behind him a tarp painted like a wall. Even with that it was still a good movie and a good prequel to the King Arthur legend. 3/5  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 08-17-2007 09:04 PM                        anyone else get their heads and tails printed in FRENCH for this movie!?  |  IP: Logged Josh Rosen Film Handler Posts: 49 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canda Registered: May 2007 posted 08-17-2007 10:37 PM                    Yup, I kind of like it lol, "Fin 6" instead of tail 6.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 08-18-2007 09:03 PM                     Ours came that way as well, along with the soundtrack changing colors from reel to reel. And what ever lab printed it up were cheap, instead of printing the blue band on the end they just spliced it in and then spliced the tail on to the blue band.  |  IP: Logged Mathew Molloy Master Film Handler Posts: 357 From: The Santa Cruz Mountains Registered: Nov 2000 posted 08-18-2007 09:17 PM                     Likely the prints were struck in a French lab (judging by the french language stickers on our print) before it was rated and the rating later slugged in. It is a U.S./France/U.K. co-production. Worse movie I've seen in more than a decade.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 08-18-2007 10:46 PM                     quote: Kurt Zupin Ours came that way as well, along with the soundtrack changing colors from reel to reel.

I assumed that it was a used print since some theaters cut the blue band off as part of the tail. And yeah, I had to remember that "fin" is French for "end/finish."  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-19-2007 12:20 AM                     No, our blueband was spliced on too but all the other leaders were uncut. This was one of those 'We ship you the print even though you're not booked for it' movies. Thing is this time it actually worked and bookings actually changed our lineup on Thursday.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 08-20-2007 04:14 AM                     No it was not a used print.  |  IP: Logged
