Very eager to pick up the new version of this movie myself. I've been waiting a long time.
Oh, and the hypno-Melody Anderson scene was indeed VERY exciting for me the first time I watched it back in the day.

I hadn't taken this out for a spin in years, so I popped it on the other day. Wow, this has terrible picture quality. I mean really bad.
It didn't seem so terrible last time, but since upgrading to a decent 16x9 HDTV... wow. It's borderline unwatchable. There is film grain bigger than my head in this transfer.
It found its way to eBay pretty quickly... if people are going to pay $50 for this, I'm happy to oblige.
I too am hoping that Universal manages to get us a decent SE soon. There's definitely room for improvement on all counts -- picture, sound, and supplements.

its coming across the pond....i'm sure the U.S version isn't far behind
from the bits
Other DVD news today... some of you are going to be pleased... or not... with this. Momentum Pictures in the U.K. is preparing a Flash Gordon: Silver Anniversary Edition DVD... for release in the U.K.. We're trying to find out if this will also be released in the States and, if so, who will handle the distribution (we understand that there's some confusion as to who owns the U.S. release rights - we've got questions into Universal, so hopefully we'll know more soon). The DVD will street on 10/10 in the U.K., featuring anamorphic widescreen video, Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 audio, audio commentary by director Mike Hodges and an interview with him as well, a second audio commentary with actor Brian Blessed, a photo slideshow, the original Queen theatrical trailer, and the first episode of the original 1940s serial Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe. You can read more on the Queen Online and Bryan May websites (thanks to a number of Bits readers for the links). Here's a look at the cover art...

I'm not convinced that R1 will see an edition that is this good.

Well, if by the time this R2 (it looks great!) hits the streets nothing has been confirmed for R1, I'll probably go ahead and order it - along with Class of 1984 which has now gone off the R1 radar.

Well with the R2 UK version supposedly being released next week, I thought I'd bump this in the hopes that someone has some R1 news to report. This is my most wanted DVD. I want a R1 2 disc SE!

Has this been seen on any reliable sites like CD-WOW?
I may just have to double dip on this one (I already own the French version).

I'm in Mexico right now and saw a R4 version of this movie in anamorphic widescreen at Walmart for less than $20. It looked like a Studio Canal disc and was in DD5.1 I might pick it up before I return to the states.
