Diidn't 'Three Kings' use somekind of Bleach Process.
Unsure which kind, there is mention of it in the director's ccommentary.

[zoidberg]

Three Kings did indeed use bleach bypass during the opening sequence. In addition a large portion of the film was shot on Kodak 35mm reversal (kodachrome?) film, it had to be made to order in the quantities required as reversal film is generally used only for slides/small gauge cine film.

Yeah wasn't Three Kings cross-processed and not a bleach. Basically it's slide film processed in non slide chemicals. When I still shot 35mm still I loved to get my film cross processed.

Even though it's not bleach might be fun to track those films too. Domino was another cp

[spoRv]

As the effect is similar, there were some cross processed titles too. Just added the latest two, thanks to all!

1st RULE: You do not talk about FIGHT CLUB. 2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about FIGHT CLUB...

Wait, is that a question - "Was Fight Club printed with silver retention process?" - or more something like - "Fight Club? Why haven't you added it to the list?"
