The video quality is top notch compared to the other releases of this film, although I found the dialogue to be a little drowned out by the music and background sounds, but it think that's the way the film has always been. <br /><br />Important to note this is the US cut, a few people have been griping about that, but since this is the Corman Classic collections and other than cutting about 5 minutes out for it's release in the US Corman didn't really have anything to do with this film. Personally from what little I have watched so far the film moves a little faster with the edits, so I actually think it's a positive. Nothing worse than a slow moving B-Movie and I thought the French release drags a bit in the beginning. All the cut material is shown in the deleted scenes section.<br /><br />Other than watching the first 15 minutes or so I really haven't delved much into the discs. I watched a little of the interview with Caroline but found it a little boring, basically they just sit a camera in front of her and she talks for an hour, no real organization to it, and no photos or video clips which would have made it a little more interesting. Still for the video upgrade alone on the film it's worth a buy.Snipeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084449549914572738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309429033992855414.post-49680179976174302902010-09-14T16:36:00.882+01:002010-09-14T16:36:00.882+01:0016mm?!?

I sought out every article, reference and photo I could find of this mysterious lovely lady. <br /><br />A few years ago, I even added a 16mm print of Starcrash to my collection...<br /><br />I too am looking forward to upgrading to the Blu Ray (and not just to get a better look at the strings on the spaceship models), and <b>Curved Space</b> looks like a lot of fun - worth a purchase for artist (and huge Munro fan) Robin Evans beautiful cover alone.John Scolerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15830334036783163702noreply@blogger.com
