Weird Science Reunion Edition missing audio??
 

Hi, this is totally bizarre. But the scene where Gary and Wyatt are deciding to give Lisa big honkers or not is missing audio (Gary is supposed to say "bigger tits" or something like that). You can see Gary's lips move but nothing is heard. Also when Gary is saying "Anything bigger then a handful, your risking a sprained thumb", I remember there being more lines spoken from Gary before he said this. Can someone who has both versions of this DVD confirm this?? Chapter 3:35

If this is confirmed then this sucks big time.

Thanks.

wasnt this discussed in a earlier thread?

If this was discussed i'm very sorry. Did a search under "Weird Science" and nothing came up. Please link the thread if any. Anyone have any info on this??

The "bigger tits" line is later in the movie when the same scene is being played out with Robert Downey Jr & that other guy.

That is true, but not the scene I'm talking about. It's Gary that says something like that.

Having just watched this last night, I didn't recognize any audio problems...I'll double check to be sure.

I do remember watching ALL THOSE EXTRA FEATURES (ie: the trailer), and there was a line about breasts in the trailer that was not used in the film. I wonder if that's the removed dialogue, but they forgot to remove the visual part as well as the audio?

Again, I'll do a double check.

Ok here's how one of the missing dialogues is supposed to be....

'If there's one thing I know, it's female stats. Anything bigger than a handful, your risking a sprained thumb'.

In this Reunion Edition Gary ONLY says..."Anything bigger than a handful, your risking a sprained thumb".

Universal totally goofed.

It's not "Anything bigger than a handful, you're risking a sprained thumb."

it's...

"Anything bigger than a handful, you're risking a sprained tongue."

Thanks for the correction. I always didn't quite know exactly what he said.

Anybody else confirm this? Does anyone care that this DVD is missing dialogue??

Yes, I care. I've been monitoring this thread since it began. I don't yet own the new one (Columbia House for me in December), but I traded in my old Weird Science last week.

It's a trade off, I guess. Correct soundtrack vs. missing line. Sucks.

I confirmed it too, but having not seen the film in quite a while I can't recall what the original line was supposed to be. But I, like harpo, didn't notice any missing audio cues and the editing was timed up with the line as spoken, so...unless they partially cut that scene I don't see anything wrong.

I thought Anthony Michael Hall said something (about bigger boobs) before the line also.....but I could be wrong.

This is like the Ferris Beuller thread all over again...

Oh good, I was getting worried that no one was going to correct that.

it was my pleasure.

It is missing audio.

Gary says, "Very nice." when they are looking at the breasts on the computer. Then when Wyatt makes them bigger, Gary eithers moans or says no (he voices some displeasure) and says,
"Wyatt, if there's anything I know it's female stats. Anything bigger than a handful, you're risking a sprang tounge."

You can clearly see Gary's mouth saying "Very nice."

Also the package claims original theatrical music including Roy Orbison. But it's Van Halen's cover of "Pretty Woman" that's been added in, not Roy Orbison.

Universal really ****ed up this time. No documentaries or deleted scenes (even the TV scenes would have been nice.), missing audio. Are they really that stupid?

Thanks Jdugger2!

Finally a solid answer. What the hellio was Universal thinking? Wish I would've hung on to my original DVD. Damn them!

To each their own, I am perfectly happy with this new anamorphic DVD.

Universal Studios = no quality control. Proven over and over again.

Do the subs have the missing dialog?

But does it have an insert?

nope no insert. Now how about the TV series on DVD!!

I thought that the Van Halen cover was the version used in the theatrical release.

I don't really care for the film but I love the series. I would pick it up the day it's released.
