Well I managed to pick up "Spaceballs" the Collector's Edition today. I know it's not due out until May, which actually surprised me that a well known Canadian retailer would have it on the shelf. Regardless, I picked it up. Although I only skimmed through it, both picture and sound are amazing, especially the DTS track.
Anyway, the reason for this thread is to touch on the controversial "nose gag" evident in the last DVD release where part of Princess Vespa's old nose was cut off-screen when the picture was held up. Many thought it was part of the gag itself, whereas the nose extended to the next theater. Well, while skimming through this new edition, the gag was the first thing I looked for. As you can see from the screencap below, the nose can be seen in its entirety.
ORIGINAL DVD
COLLECTOR'S EDITION
I checked on both my PC and my 52" RCA RPTV in case of overscan. Sure enough, it's visible on both.
I haven't checked much of the features yet, but there's an option to watch the movie in "Ludicrous Speed" which is pretty funny.
I won't say the name of the retailer who sold this early, but as I said, it's a fairly big Canadian retailer. I'm unsure if posting this information is even allowed. If not, I sincerely apologize.
