About the DVD from VCI...
I recently bought VCI's double feature disc featuring KING D. and THE JUNGLE.
I was frankly surprised at the good quality of the transfers of both films. For KD especially, VCI seems to have exercised a degree of care in handling the film that Bert I. Gordon certainly never showed!
Even down to releasing it in its original widescreen format, which up till now I'd never seen (not that it helps much). And even some extras! Wow.
My question...the DVD case gives the running time as 59 mins. Other references say 63. I wasn't timing it, and it looked at one point as if something may be missing because the picture fades out momentarily and resumes in another scene, but then something told me this was the way it was shot. Any knowledge about this crucial issue...?
(BTW, the last few seconds of the film ARE missing -- where the music climaxes and it says THE END over the shot of the mushroom cloud. The VCI print just suddenly stops moments before this critical part of the movie -- telling you that at last it's over -- was to come on, then goes black, and the DVD ends. But that doesn't account for a difference of four minutes.)
