A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) - Page 2

I took a look at the scene with Nancy and Rod in the jail and I guess the sync may be off be a hair (and even that might be overstating it) but that seems like it could be not so great ADR on a low budget movie from 1984.

Yeah, that was my thought: cheap movie, bad ADR.  I definitely noticed some synch issues on my Panny player...

But if it was simply a case of ADR, why wouldn't it show up on the DVD?

I only have the first release (from the box set), but I checked my copy of the DVD against this Blu-ray and it's a totally different issue.

The Blu-ray only really has issues during this scene (and, apparently for a small handful of people), but it's there and it's certainly distracting.  I just updated my PS3's firmware and tested it again and I still have the issue. 

A friend of mine is running the disc on an Oppo and has the issue as well.  

I'm envious of all you guys who don't have the issue - but it's there.

The white line you are talking about on FotR is there, but it is exactly one pixel wide, so viewers with even the slightest amount of overscan will not notice it.  It can also be confounded somewhat by the right edge of a display device if it has a glossy finish and one is not watching in a darkened room.  There also seems to be a narrow light static field of slightly lower contrast that goes with the vertical white line if you look very closely.

I just need a bit of clarification here......is the sync issue a problem with both audio tracks or just the stereo?  If the mono is OK, then I'll go ahead and get it.

I can just barely see/hear it on the mono track only during the scene with Nancy seeing Rod in jail and I didn't notice it until it was pointed it out. Maybe it varies based on player but in that one scene, the voice might be out of sync by a fraction of a second on my player.

It seems pretty obvious in some places. Maybe it's more apparent in the mono track? But even through watching this movie in other soundtracks, it's clear in some places where ADR is used. For example, Nancy's line "How can you say I don't take murder seriously" sounds somewhat artificial compared to the other dialogue in the scene. Same for the scene where Rod pulls Nancy into the bushes, the whole conversation seems like it could be ADR (and visually it's another scene where the dialogue is a little out of sync with the mouth movements"
