True but for a hammer film like this I think the color is much more important. At least for shadow detail you can adjust the brightness of your TV to gain something acceptable. For the UK disc I cranked the color all the way up and it still looks faded and awful like a bargain bin public domain...

I agree that it is important footage and every fan of the film should see it at least once but I do think it makes the sequence too long and too cheasy especially after just watching the WAC blu ray without it. I can see why it was not included anywhere except for Japan. WAC should have included...

I personally think the extra Japan footage hurts this classic film. After hearing of the footage for 30+ years I was extremely disappointed when I finally saw it last year and found it was no big deal. In fact the extra few seconds make the dying scene drag on too long and make this classic...

I agree the disappointment is minor, for me extremely minor but getting the proper color is major. I can't watch the lionsgate version. Once was enough. The Annolis edition was reported to be the same print as the U.K. print with a 1-2 seconds of more Japanese footage that was missing audio. The...

The color is correct. What is up for debate is if the brightening of previous home video editions to reveal what is partially hidden in the shadows is a good thing or if not seeing that shadow detail was the intended look. I am leaning toward the later.

Its 2-3 seconds on the U.K. disc. The German disc has another 1.5 seconds that was missing sound so they used sound from earlier in the sequence which makes the audio slightly out of synch for that sequence. I own the U.K. disc and have viewed the german one. To be honest after reading and...

And if you really believe the 2 seconds amounts to anything then you also need to buy the german version from Anolis to get the additional 1.5 seconds to bring it up to 3.5 seconds that all doesn't amount to much. So the U.K. disc doesn't contain the complete disintegration scene either. For me...

Yeah I saw the footage on the UK release and it was nothing special after all the hype. Too be honest it made the disintegration scene just seem to drag on.
