There are lots of releases of flying deuces on dvd but all have bad picture quality, has there been a release thats a remastered verson? or just a watchable version for that matter?

Try the one from Kino Video. 'Nuff said.
shareI agree. The Kino release is fully remastered and is one of the best L&H prints I have ever seen. The sound is also excellent, and there's quite a few extras too.
You'll find it cheap on Amazon.

Actually, I would be weary of some unscrupulous dealers selling "The Flying Duceses" on any on-line store, major or otherwise. While some may picture the Kino cover on its page, the actual product may very well be one of those 99-cent discs bargain stores sell for a dime a dozen! Therefore, if you want to play it safe, order directly from Kino as I had.

Kino charge more. I had no problem getting the Kino Dvd on Amazon. All you need to do is check the selleres feedback.

Whatever you do, steer clear of Mill Creek's TFD on their 20 movie "Family" pack. It was like SO over exposed. The picture was either too black or too bright. But considering I got this film (and 19 others) for $6.99, guess I shouldn't cry about it.. And the majority of the films on this set are GREAT!

Does anyone know if Kino plan to release a Region 2 version of Flying Deuces? The only Kino release of this film on Amazon is Region 1, and the DVD I have of this film has a terrible picture, the sound sometimes jumps where there are seconds of dialogue missing and a few scenes have been cut altogether.
I know this is several months late, but I suggest that you buy an international regions-free DVD player, and then get the R1 Kino version. I bought one so I could get (and I'm sure you have this!!) the 21-disc L&H box set, which has NEVER been available in R1!
shareThis explains a lot, it's from the Trivia section:
The failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.
