RoboCop (1987) UAR disc.blue

Project Info

After only five and half years (!) in the making (better late than never...), finally it is released as a FanRes exclusive! Main sources are the unreleased Sony BD for letterbox, and various DVB full screen merged to get rid of the logos and to increase details; result is quite good and very watchable, albeit there are some shots that wobbles a bit; until a proper true theatrical mix will be found (if ever) the so-called "original" 4-track is used; English subtitles are included; special subtitles to cover part of the frame and show the image as 1.33:1 is included as default, so if you want to see the UAR version, you have to deselect the pillarbox subtitles (or choose the English ones). Last thing: alternate soundtrack by Ultra Pulverize included as bonus. Enjoy!

This looks quite good, and adding more image is always good in my book. Never got to check one of your projects. Will give this one a look...

Will you do one for the Unrated version?

I hate to be a buzzkill, but the Criterion DVD should already be the correct open--matte, and the four black corners in nearly every screenshot kinda hurt this one, on top of the low bitrate.
