James Bond Gunbarrels: 1962-2002 (PAL SPECIAL EDITION versions) (480p 16:9)

Ultimate Edition version: • James Bond Gunbarrels:...
That one certain UA logo (GoldenEye one) is in many of these SE discs. That is edited out mostly in here anyways. All other different instances of United Artists are left in (and all MGM's are, there's only 3 of those). These are taken from the PAL Region 2 and 2/4 Special Editions, Finnish releases though. Outside two, where I used the release without extras to get higher fidelity (see below for more info on that). Some have a new 5.1 mix and I also never was a huge fan of those, just give me whatever the original is - sure from GE onwards is 5.1 but that is fine as it always has been that. If the pitch seems odd, they haven't corrected it after speeding the movie with that one frame per second. TND and TWINE are the only ones I am aware of, since the Region 1 SE disc I have has a different pitch and the PS1 game also has that with TND and TWINE.
Mr. PSX comments:
I like these dirtier prints and their more visible film grain, which is the image itself and its details - also if you believe the Special Edition Collection trailer, these are the definitive versions (Ultimate I recall never says so, HA!)
Also the sound is the original mono in most of these older ones, and it blasts amazingly, especially the opening titles of OHMSS, I like, I like (if only it would be technically mono as well instead of being in a stereo container, that wastes half of the bitrate)
1962-1964 & 1973-1974 - man these non scope ones are all over the place with their aspect ratio depending on what is seen
FRWL had out of sync sound in its UA logo, kek
G has some framing issue clearly
Some of these releases have an image that's clearly too wide, like DAF, O and LTK
TMWTGG has blue hue, nice nice nice - also, the sound is in Stereo in that one
Love that MGM/UA Communications logo with TLD, I have a VHS of AVTAK where that one is
Too bad LTK SE is cut in general
GE SE has the correctly framed image and is in general cut dammit thanks to UK, but...
GE and TND seen here were taken from no extras -disc, both using the same SE master
TND SE my area has is uncut luckily
I have the Region 1 TND SE and boy are the bitrates worse there - PAL Region 2 variant has better ones
TWINE SE has that 75 year MGM logo sadly not used in UE and user player generated subtitles with JAMES BOND WILL RETURN but why? Why not the original film material? In UE that's not the case kek, film material it is there.
DAD SE uses the same MGM UE's use I reckon, left it in anyway
For SE master fans, there are discs at least in Region 2 (dunno aboot 1 or 4) with no extras that use the same SE elements, but in those more space is reserved for the movie so there's higher image and audio bitrates since they lack all the extra content. For the case of GE, it's the only way to have the uncut SE master'd GE since from what I can see, discs of those type my area has have gotten out in Finland/Germany/Netherlands -areas (GE of that type having English and German audio with Eng/Fin/Ger/Dut subtitling) while the regular SE with English audio only came out in many places and due to cuts some subtitles get out of sync there.
This better be in 16:9 by default kek.

I don't like how it's being high pitched

[@Jeremy12988]

Again Wow🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@antonnilsson6117]

I wonder why OHMSS was normal- pitched!

[@PSXDRIVERPLAYERBSTH]

The pitch is clearly adjusted to be what it should be after speeding it up if it sounds normal, which is done sometimes. An example is Watch Out, We're Mad (1974) where the original Nordic DVD release from FutureFilm / Studio S / Another World Entertainment is pitch adjusted, while the way later Soul Media DVD release is clearly not. Time to debunk the myth where PAL equals always sped up sounding audio, it's not always the case. EDIT: Not Atlantic Film, but Studio S. Hmhm.

[@Eepoxi]

for some reason the hd tv releases of these movies in Finland have the original sound in them?

[@PSXDRIVERPLAYERBSTH]

Original sound as in original mono and stereo? Great, actually, if so. As far as I'm aware the first one to be 5.1 natively is GoldenEye, don't see any point applying it retroactively to all the previous ones. Tervehdys vaan.

[@Eepoxi]

For example in TMWTGG it still has the old gun sounds on the hd tv releases​@@PSXDRIVERPLAYERBSTH

[@PSXDRIVERPLAYERBSTH]

You want to elaborate

[@PSXDRIVERPLAYERBSTH]

KZbin doesn't like those, alter it so that it doesn't get recognized as one

[@Eepoxi]

@@PSXDRIVERPLAYERBSTH https: //w ww.youtu be .co m/watc h?v=vn4_n V25DTY heres your puzzle now i want to know why its hd but its has the original sound

[@Eepoxi]

Why the hell do these early bond special edition versions look so bad

[@PSXDRIVERPLAYERBSTH]

Methinks them look fine, first 3 I've heard use the earlier Laserdisc masters. I'd also say the sound in Dr. No sucks at times. Meanwhile the OHMSS sounds amazing (nothing to do with it being mono).

[@Eepoxi]

@@PSXDRIVERPLAYERBSTH Diamonds are forever and goldfinger look like they've been thrown onto the ground and not cleaned before being scanned or smth like that

[@PSXDRIVERPLAYERBSTH]

Yee, there's some of them that could be better. What's that issue that makes edges colorful, some have that a lot. Then there's the KZbin compression making it worse (576p -> 480p).

[@Eepoxi]

The finnish tv releases use the original mono sounds combined with the hd releases taken from maybe the bluray releases
