Lifeforce is a real bug-bear for me...the theatrical cut got an anamorphic release in Germany but its OOP. The transfer on the US disc is so jagged!
The widescreen UK release was hardly lovely, and was sped -up. At least it was anamorphic widescreen though, but a lot of stair-stepping was evidentNebiroth said:Almost unbelievable that Universal chose to release Colossus: the Forbin Project in pan and scan - considering it was made in 2.35:1 Panavision. To rub salt into the wound, it opens with "this film has been modified to fit your screen" and promptly shows all the opening titles in widescreen, as if to tease the viewer as to what might have been but isn't going to be.
Fortunately the UK release from MediumRare is a lovely 2.35:1 anamorphic - vastly superior.

Since he posted that three years ago, perhaps he notices it now.

And anyway, you are not the only person who hasn't noticed the PAL 4% speed-up. As far as I know, no-one in Europe (PAL-land) has ever complained . . . . and I don't believe everyone in Europe has bad hearing!
