Plan 9 From Outer Space to be released on BD March 6! Review - Page 5 - Blu-ray Forum

I received this Plan 9 from Outer Space on blu-ray today and I do plan to watch it very soon. I do think the film should be transferred in the Original Aspect Ratio. It is neat to have the open mat release though, to see what was not intended for the audience to see. So why not a release with both the OAR and the Open Mat Aspect Ratio?

Also the pixelation people mention during the cockpit scene which happens prior to 5:30. there are a couple of instances, especially in the area of the copilot where strange artifacting occurs. This should have been ironed out before release.

What I do think is a major screw-up is not including the two-hour documentary, "Flying Saucers Over Hollywood," originally included on the first-run Image Entertainment DVD, which could have made the release the definitive one to get. Wouldn't this documentary fit on the blu-ray and if not couldn't Legend use a dual layer blu-ray? The unfortunate part is now I have to keep my Plan 9 DVD to keep the documentary. Too bad. Maybe this is a copyright issue and hence why Legend could not include it.

I do like the Image DVD cover much more than the Legend Blu-ray cover.

Screw-up?

Why doesn't Ford include a Chevy small block in the F-150 pickup? Why Doesn't ABC show episodes of The Big Bang Theory?

FLYING SAUCERS OVER HOLLYWOOD clearly doesn't belong to Legend.

Like I mentioned, it was possibly a copyright issue. Legend doesn't own the rights to "Flying Saucers Over Hollywood" nor did they buy the rights from Image or whomever owns the rights. It still would have been a nice addition to this release.

Ideally, in most cases, when I buy a blu-ray, I like to get rid of the DVD(if I have it). In this case, I'll keep the DVD release for this documentary. Oh well.

Does anyone know if the changes listed in the "Alternate Versions" section on IMDB are on the Blu-ray?

"•In the colorized Legend Films DVD release, during one shot of the scene where the Ghoul Man terrorizes the woman in her home, the images inside the picture frames on the bedroom wall have been digitally replaced with pictures of other people. This anomaly does not occur in any other print of Plan 9 and is unique to the Legend Films release.

•[POSSIBLE SPOILER] Another anomaly unique to the colorized Legend Films version occurs when the body of Inspector Clay is discovered draped across a grave and the words "Paula & Russell" appear etched into the tombstone."

If so, do they also affect the black and white version?
