decided to pull the trigger on this release after many months of waiting/deliberating after reading this.. is good to know the full alternate ending is available to see on the itunes version for now and just watched it. would be quite easy to splice things together manually for a private seamless version, not ideal but will do, since who knows when another version will be released. Also like the cover art and other extras

So disappointed this wasn’t fixed.VS needs to be much more transparent when there are issues and about what they can fix or not fix.

In this case, I don't believe it was an issue of they can't. It was more like they don't want to.

Yeah it sure seems like it. I enjoy their releases and am happy that they are out there doing it but between their customers service and this flaw and the issue that occurred with Looking for Mr. Goodbar (which thankfully they are going to fix), it does seem to make them look bad to me.

Just to wrap this whole thing up (not that we didn’t already know where this was all headed, or not headed as it were), I found my e-mail from March 2024 where they mentioned they were looking into it and would get back to me. They never did, which, whatever, I don’t even have a huge beef about. But I went ahead and wrote back and asked where things were at, and they did write back very quickly and confirmed that their extras were “based on the materials that were given to us by the studio” and they confirmed that “there won’t be a new version released by us.”

Feel like Paramount's potentially being a bunch of turds here with the extra specifically and VS doesn't really want to say anything because you know, PR nightmares with business partners and all that. They haven't denied anything (which says a lot in comparison to others who will swear everyone is deranged) and under the rug it goes.

They should let Demon Dave and his lawyers handle this. Paramount will be on their knees!

Wow. I just caught up with this whole thread as I had been keeping an eye on the price for this 4K waiting for something a bit more reasonable, and this is...discouraging.

I love that a boutique like VS exists and I love that there's a place that will restore movies no one else would give a shit about, but yeah, the way this was handled really rubs me the wrong way.

Always would prefer an honest up front answer rather than radio silence and hope people stop asking. Even come right out and say "This is what they gave us and this is what you're getting and it would be too cost prohibitive to fix." I wouldn't like that either but I'd have more respect for them. This is definitely a reputational hit for VS that I'll remember.

Anyway, so this is the only disc that will give me the preview version, is that right?

P.S. If they had even put a disclaimer on their website about the problem so people could base their purchase decision on the full facts I would have NO problem with VS on this whatsoever.

P.P.S. I see my colleague from the great state of Alabama has compared V.S. to Kino Lorber. I'm not quite ready to put them in that camp yet, but they're definitely on notice.

Wow. I just read that whole thread. Awful.

It would be sporting of VS to at least mention some of these known defects on their product pages and/or maybe knock a few bucks off the price or something. Kinda slimy.

lol wow you got buried that whole thread only to end up right.

And yes, in terms of Phase IV, this mistake not being corrected never sat well with me. Like some others said, even just making a note on the page's listing would have been fine.

lol are you serious?

For half that thread Ruined was trying to argue, 100% erroneously, that the movie was supposed to be in mono while I and other posters were explaining to him that it was in stereo before.

Only posts later did he come around.

Way to misrepresent my posts and take them out of context for your own misguided zingers, as usual.

No, instead I pointed out you can't just send a random bootleg YouTube video to Vinegar Syndrome and say "but look its stereo!" All of the data online including reviews and specs from various sites for the Dark Force disc indicated it was mono, so there needed to be proof ascertained first that the release actually was available officially in stereo previously on Blu-ray - as then VS couldn't argue the materials weren't able to be licensed etc.
