John Badham's Dracula (1979) Finally coming to R2 DVD, but...
Is this simply going to be the same one that's been kicking around on R1 for a while now - you know the one where all the color had been drained out of it? I love the photography on the original 'full-color version' from way back, but alas it no longer seems available in any format.

Alucard? I bet you'll be shocked to know what Alucard spelt backwards is [quickly crosses himself]. 
um... oh yes I hope Badham's Dracula is in full colour this time round, enough with this desaturated colour shit. I saw the film at the cinema and it wasn't in frikkin' sepiatone [bites fist].

Wow, I was only talking with someone the other day about John Badham on the Spielberg forums, where is John Badham, the guy is doing TV now!
Anyway this is wonderful news, I first saw this around 1980 or 81 at my aunties in Buckinghamshire, on VHS of coarse and I liked it, a bit young I was I but still I liked it a lot.
Is this version in six-track Dolby stereo 5.1, and I know the film was shot in 2.35:1 scope so seeing it for the first time around without any pan & scanning is going to be a plus, but what of the soundtrack?

I like you signature of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, you haven’t seen the Star Trek films at the Empire in London by any chance?

Who Dares Wins, my motto Andy. 
I saw a couple of the Star Trek movies at the Empire, the first one in 79 and First Contact. The Empire Leicester Square's a fantastic cinema, the seats are so comfortable you don't wanna get up after the films finished. Can't remember if I saw Dracula there or was it at the Odeon?

You got that right mate, have you got a ratchet to undo the one or two seats to take home a piece of the Empire experience with you! I first saw Indian Jones and the Last Crusade there in September 13th Wednesday 1989, price was a remarkable £6.50 for THX sound system red rocker chairs and a laser light show! |
