Author Topic: Red Cup/ Yellow Cup in Transformers Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-03-2011 07:51 PM                        (((SPOILER SCENE IN A FILM))) Please correct me if I am wrong (or crazy): In the past few days I have noticed something odd. Not sure if this is a difference in 35mm, 2D, or 3D versions of Transformers 3 (or even the PLATINUM 6 version we have). I noticed in two different versions of this movie that the scene with John Malkovich in which a woman is yelled at for using a certain color cup on a certain color floor. In the 3-D version she is using a Red Cup on the Yellow Floor and on the 2-D version she is using a Yellow Cup on the Red Floor. Has anyone else noticed this oddity? I know for a fact that these two different scenes exist. I am just trying to figure out whether it is a 35mm print versus digital thing or a 2D/3D thing -or is it just changed for the "Platinum Edition".  |  IP: Logged Marcial Feliciano Ramos Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: Puerto Rico Registered: Oct 2003 posted 07-03-2011 08:32 PM                     We have a regular 3D version and is a yellow cup on the red floor.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-03-2011 10:13 PM                        I am thinking I may have lost my mind on this one.. Now I gotta watch 4 different versions of this movie to be sure I haven't gone crazy. Too bad the movie sucks.  |  IP: Logged Marcial Feliciano Ramos Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: Puerto Rico Registered: Oct 2003 posted 07-03-2011 11:58 PM                     Reading your post just got me confused. Sorry, is a RED cup on the YELLOW floor. (Regular 3D version).  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-04-2011 12:26 AM                        Maybe it's a way to determine where the pirated copies are coming from. 2D or putting one lens of 3D glasses over the camera lens for the 3D version. No clue, not sure why they would bother with such a thing or why anyone would get yelled at for using a certain color cup on a certain color floor or why anyone would even "use" a cup on the floor in the first place. Does John Malkovic play a crazy person, I am guessing? That's the only role he's good for. I wonder if I am the only person to think Two Girls One Cup when first seeing the title of this thread.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Both of my 3d versions as well as my 35mm have the same scene, yellow floor with a red cup  |  IP: Logged Robert D Hall Film Handler Posts: 65 From: Abingdon V.A USA Registered: Mar 2010 posted 07-04-2011 10:48 AM                        Yes joe two girls one cup was the first thing to come to mind when i read the post title  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 07-04-2011 12:01 PM                     Stewie AJG  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

The drive has a pink label to separate it from the tradional blue labels of the general 2D/3D release.  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-07-2011 01:36 PM                     Real-D version...red cup on yellow floor. This lines up with a later scene where the girl gives Gyllenhaal a red cup with red licorice on a yellow floor.  |  IP: Logged
