If they do release the original cut, they should really clean up the PQ of the existing cut while they're at it. I just watched the blu-ray that came with Assassins and The Specialist and was shocked at how rough it looks. I mean, the movie looks less like a big hollywood release and more like some ultra low budget shoestring slasher film, which is made all the more shocking in that the trailer, in spite of being SD, looks a lot nicer than the HD quality of the movie itself.

It's closed now. Would have loved to sign it.

It's closed. Bummer!! I would love to see it. Any developments on this? Maybe if there was a way to contact Stallone directly, via email or something.

There are so many action films they need to do this with. What's so complicated about taking a workprint and cleaning up the PQ and adding in the official soundtrack? Action fans would gobble up uncut editions of films like Cobra, Hard Target, and The Crow. I know I would. Do the studios think there aren't enough fans of those films to justify cleaning up the workprints?



Would you mind not shooting at the thermonuclear weapons?

likely the footage is in bad shape by now
