Max Headroom: The Complete Series - $28 at Amazon - Blu-ray Forum

strumdogg · 11-19-2016, 05:54 AM

It's not the lowest ever (2010), but it's pretty close to the lowest over the last year:

If you watched and followed this show like I did growing up, and the price is good enough...

I've been missing a disc from my set for years and just can't get myself to buy a new set.

I assume this was shot on Video Tape... so it's not all that likely to ever be released on BR... but I can dream!

Wow! This thread was resurrected from out of nowhere.

But yeah, it is cheaper than $28 now. You can get it at Walmart for like $20.

A little of this goes a long way.

For what it’s worth, this is what IMDB says:

Camera:
Arriflex 35 BL3, Panavision Ultra Speed MKII Lenses
Bell & Howell Eyemo, Panavision Ultra Speed MKII Lenses
Panavision Panaflex Gold, Panavision Ultra Speed MKII and Cooke Lenses

Negative format:
35 mm (30 fps)
35 mm (Eastman 125T 5247, 400T 5294, 250D 5297

Process:
Super 35 (3-perf)

Printed film format: Video

Does this mean they could process from the 35 mm negatives?

Yes, they could rescan the negatives. Thing is: if it was edited on tape (as was the case for some shows such as Pee-Wee's Playhouse), it's possible that all the effects would need to be reconstructed. That's often a dealbreaker for some studios, if the foreseeable profit is low.

This is such a cult series. It needs to be reissued in HD. I would be happy with a full 1080p u-Matic tape scan (like the Fraggle Rock blu-rays). U-Matic quality is still VERY decent.
