Lost Media We Will Never Find (Probably)

[@theboredprogrammer1114]

I'm a Filipino and my mom saw Batmam vs Dracula in 1967. She was about 12 back then and she has hazy memories about it and she remembered it was goofy. There's a huge goldmine of lost media in the Philippines which I find a lot of them intriguing like that lost flower shop commercial that scared the shit out of me as a kid in the 90s. There's also a lost religious interstitial about a 1PM prayer thing. Also scary. Just wanna add, my mom, aunts and uncles, and my grandparents were avid movie nerds (local or foreign) in the past, they loved going to movie premiers and it was like a Filipino middle class thing back then. Like in the 1950s-1980s. Sadly, cost of living is insane here im the Philippines as a Filipino and going to the movies are more of a not so frequent thing. For me, at least and I usually wait it out before it gets released in Netflix or Amazon Prime.

As a titanic fan, there is a piece of lost media that will probably never be found. In May 1912, just a month after the Titanic sank, a movie was made called “saved from the titanic” Starring an actual survivor named Dorothy Gibson. She even wore the clothes she wore during the actual sinking. And it actually got good ratings. But unfortunately in 1914, the last copy of the movie was destroyed in a fire and with that, it was now lost. I’m pretty sure the only way to find it is if someone somehow has a preserved copy of the movie. All we got of the movie is like 2 pictures of it, and most likely all the people that watched it has died.

[@GiordanDiodato]

sadly a lot of them were destroyed in fires

[@teptime]

@@GiordanDiodatoIn the case silent films, most were simply scrapped when sound films became a reality, circa 1929. They were thought to have no further commercial viability. A number of prints were sent overseas with subtitles or title cards changed to different languages, which is why most silent film rediscoveries occur overses.

[@reizendeleiche2001]

@@teptime A lot were scrapped even before that as well because motion pictures were seen as a passing fad from the start. People considered it a temporary novelty. If I remember correctly, Georges Melies wanted all of his work destroyed- so we'll never know exactly how many films he produced and it's a wonder we have any of it at all. Older films got re-shown in theaters through at least the 1960s if not 70s (I have a 60s poster of a very not lost 1937 film, and it's documented that London After Midnight wasn't lost until 1965), so there could be some chances to find some reels of those. It's just very unlikely because storing a lot of very flammable reels that are continuing to degrade is very difficult and space-consuming.

Back in 1978, the British rock band The Police were featured in a Wrigley’s Spearmint Gum commercial. This was before the band got popular, so they had done this because they needed money. In the commercial they played a punk band (what The Police were initially formed to be) and had bleached their hair blond for the role-a look they’d keep for the rest of their time as a band. Unfortunately, the commercial was shelved and had never aired. There is no footage of it anywhere that is known. The Police’s guitarist, Andy Summers, had attempted to find it himself back in 2012 out of curiosity of where it went-I’d think he had no luck, since the commercial hasn’t surfaced since. I’ve looked at the Lost Media Forums once before to see if this topic had ever been mentioned, but I had found nothing. Alike the things in this video, this commercial is likely completely lost. I thought I’d put this here in case anyone was interested. The Police is my favourite band, it’d be so cool to see this commercial become found one day. Edit: I had no idea I had written this much, so I apologize for that! If you got this far, thanks for reading. And on another note, thanks to those who liked my comment!

Any time I hear about the JoJo Phantom Blood movie, it always makes me so upset. I have an extremely vivid memory of seeing (at least a portion or majority of it) on some anime pirate site around 2009-2010.

I will forever remember that as my "you could have been a lost media hero if you still had that laptop" moment.

I honestly got so invested in finding this movie, it makes me so mad that something so recent and big like this got "lost". Like, there has to be some kind of bootleg recording out there or someone has to have posted at the time, like your comment suggests Do you have more information related to this? If it was the raw archive or a bootleg like I said, or what site was

[@soloccidit]

@@dddhio It's been quite a while so my memory is fuzzy, but I seem to remember it being a bootleg of some variety, or at the very least fairly poor quality. Knowing myself, it was probably on some version of nyaa at the time, but that poses it's own problems as the site has been taken down and changed urls so many times, and it is for sure known that some portion of the site was lost in 2016 (I think?). It's also possible it could have been shared on some random forum that I will honestly never remember. It was also a time before I was a JoJo fan and I purely looked at it because I was just watching everything I could get my hands on, so I don't remember a ton of specifics. Moments like this really make me hate my younger self for sure.

There are a lot of lost media for me on KZbin I remember back from the day. I remember this game channel called Dracula something that I enjoyed watching. He was banned from Xbox Live and had to deal with the garbage AI in L4D2. It was funny how he would die because of them and he would just kill the characters out of pure rage. Then one day, his channel disappeared, and I moved on found DarkSydePhil soon after. I remember another gaming channel that played Shadow of the Colossus and I wanna be the guy, he was cool, but I can find his stuff again. And another channel, it was called TheOfficeFan234, but I believe he's gone. There was another video too, a music one, a guy playing on his guitar. It was a nice song but I could never find it again. And there was this one video and it went like, "I am T." And talked about he knew the truth and stuff. And another video about conspiracies on how (just paraphrasing here) "How we can actually breathe in space, but the government is covering up" and "Aliens will come and give us the cure for cancer." And something about coca cola I think too but I forgot. I wish I could find these videos again but it'll happen. Especially with how KZbin's search is....

The Dragonball dub tape I'd say has a 50/50 shot of being found. Just for reference, I spent 15 years in aviation maintenance, 3 of those in In Flight Entertainment specifically. I'm not an expert by any means, but have been around the block a few times. If it was used on an airline, especially a Japanese one in the late 80's, then it would have used good ol' VHS. Without knowing more about the aircraft and routes, I can't get too much more in depth. Some aircraft had very elaborate IFE systems in the "Hell hole" which were big, bulky, heavy, overpriced VCR's. For those, they would typically just run throughout the flight and people could pick which "Channel (VCR)" they wanted to watch. Then, from what I understand was usually monthly, they'd swap out some of the tapes for new ones. Some airlines didn't care and just said get rid of the old ones. I had a buddy who collected a massive collection of these in the 80's and 90's. If that's the case then it could be in someones collection. I'd suggest seeing if any airline memorabilia collectors might have it. Another common system was cheaper, just a VCR up front hooked up to all the TV's in the aircraft. The Flight Attendant throws in a tape, hits play, and goes about their day. I'm thinking this less likely given Japans economic state in the late 80's. From anyone I've talked to, late 80's Japanese airlines would only accept top of the line. So, I'm leaning more towards the more advanced (i.e. expensive) multi tape systems. The downside to that is while most airlines from what I've heard over the years just said "Get rid of it!" about old tapes. Some were different. I had one guy tell me whenever he did it for one airline, the tapes were serialized, and had to be entered into the aircrafts maintenance logs with serial numbers. They also had to be signed for when turned in. If that's the case, then it would likely be lost forever. One other chance is the equipment itself. Surprisingly, there is a flourishing culture of people who collect random aircraft parts. You can find the avionics and IFE equipment on E-bay. Sometimes, a collector will buy something like the VCR and it still has the last tape it played in there. So maybe someone who collects IFE equipment may have "That weird Dragonball episode" sitting on their shelf.

I think this kind of Lost Media is important to be familiar with. While I respect enormously all the people that invest so much effort in searching for lost media, I think the community is a bit too idealist with respect to the searches and the concept of "preservation". I think we all have to learn to accept that there are going to cases in which we will never be able to find and preserve a form of media, and we need to make peace with that fact. So, I kinda like to learn about these kinds of cases from time to time.

[@Polemodrome]

At any rate, I am certain they won't distribute a blu ray release of it ever. The movie extracted too much salt from the bearded fundamentalist losers just by referencing the quran

[@liquidx1664]

According to the theaters I contacted, they distributed it in both digital in 35mm formats. When I asked if they had copies, they referred me back to Klockworx (the distributors), who then recently said that they no longer hold the authority to do anything (likely for copyright or licensing reasons), and that it is "no longer possible to see it". That leaves the question as to whether any of the 35mm reels they distributed have been preserved, which if you ask me, is pretty unlikely. There's a chance, sure, but I'm not too sure about it.

There are a bunch of old movies starring Lon Chaney who was the forefather of horror films that are considered lost media because of a vault fire in 1965. Now some of these are considered some of the most sought after lost media in existence

[@RedCruuve]

another piece of lost media that will almost certainly never be recovered is the 2 scrapped pilot episodes of Top Gear (the 2002 reboot). They were both filmed but were never aired because, for various reasons, they were deemed as too poor quality to go to air (and the presenters and producers agreed the pilots sucked), so there are no digital releases, and only 1, possibly 2 physical copies (owned by the producer and possibly the BBC), and the producer said he will never release them. So apart from a ~5 second clip where they reused a clip from one of the pilots in a later episode and some magazine photos, the only people other than the staff who would’ve seen those episodes are the few that were in the live audience of those episodes

[@whatamisupposedtoputhere]

The same goes for Series 22 Episode 10. While the incident between Tymon and Clarkson happened post-filming, it’d still be very interesting to see since James is the only one of the three who’s still most in the limelight (and because Clarkson’s farm and The Grand Tour have both been cancelled). It’s possible that it’s in the BBC’s archives but obviously due to BBC wanting to distance themselves from the trio (especially Clarkson) it seems unlikely that it will ever be released if they do have it. Keanu Reeves was also supposed to be the Star in a Reasonably Priced car along with a showdown of “the holy trinity” of hypercars.

[@mikeyhasfuntoo9164]

There was an adaptation of the railway series story “The Sad Story of Henry” that was aired live on BBC in 1953, it was apparently absolutely terrible, and involved the Henry model falling off the tracks and a hand picking it up. Because it aired live, it is basically factual that not a single person has a copy. Another Thomas related piece of lost media, is the original pilot, filmed in 1983, it was based on the story down the mine, and its very likely that we still have it, because many clips from the pilot have been used in other episodes, and many speculate for the 80th anniversary of the railway series, the pilot will be presented

[@KoryGilesMusicGroup]

Batman Fights Dracula was filmed in Eastmancolor, and Eastmancolor prints were known for deteriorating badly to a reddish-pink tint, so even if they were to find a copy of this film, it would be virtually unwatchable. Same story with those god-awful NTA prints of Paramount cartoons, and many Indian films which are in poor shape today.

There's also this lost kaiju film from India called "Gogola" that I've seen some people talk about. It was released in 1966. I don't know if it'll ever be found, but I sure hope it is. It's as far as I know the only "kaiju film" made in India, so it definitely feels like a significant find.

[@kidkytes6233]

With Dragon Ball there's also the Ocean dub of Dragon Ball Z Kai that never got aired for Canada and the European terrotries. It was never announced but was confirmed to exist by several of Funimation's VAs and some Canadian VAs. Would've been interesting to see it since most of the original Ocean VAs were returning to voice their characters and what kind of edits/censorship it would have. Toei has confirmed they have the dub but it will probably never leave their offices.

[@MatthewCobalt]

As a Filipino, I still hold out hope that the Batman Vs Dracula film would be found into the future. There is also a bit of context about the rough look if even films from even after the date. Due to the very early origins of the industry, the rough filming techniques, and even just the climate of the country, films were difficult to archive and keep. Think of this as the early destruction of film vaults in the US, but due to humidity and carelessness. It's to the point that even films from the 1980s and 1990s were getting decolored and scratchy. It is also the reason why VHS didn't catch on too well in the Philippines and lost to VCD and DVD.

[@KoryGilesMusicGroup]

This is true. Also, many Filipino films at the time were filmed in Eastmancolor, and Eastmancolor prints had a bad reputation because the colors would often fade horribly with time. Eastmancolor prints are meant to be full color, but as they age or deteriorate, the colors fade away, and you’re left with a reddish-pink tone.

It would be heartbreaking to see the footsge of this absolute legend dying in the ring, doing what he loved in the company he founded. The only known footage of the full match that is still in the hands of the public was recorded via fancam at the show and the fan that took it said he'd never release it out of respect for Mitsuharu Misawa, his family, his friends, his peers and in general for the Japanese Wrestling Community. I'm glad. As someone who admires Misawa and as a human being, I can't handle seeing any man in that state. Whether it's my hero or anyone else.

I had no idea what this was and so decided to click on it and investigate, OH BOY! Did i find something. Turns out it's a prequel to fist of the north star and features North star's protagonist's uncle who he is named after as the main character. If anyone else is interested in looking it up and seeing if there was a dvd or re-release of it then be my guest.

Not a lost anime, but very close, there's "Dr. Norman Monogatari: Ai no Kiseki". It's crazy rare, like very rare even in Japan as it had a very limited VHS print and was aired only once. Even the soundtrack is easier to get. It's my personal grail when it comes to Japanese Animation.

One search I care about is the Welcome to Pooh Corner search. It's an original The Disney Channel series from the 80s. I have very low hopes for the French dub specifically, noteable for having someone different playing the Narrator character. It only aired in French Canada in a time when home recordings weren't very common. In the 6 or 7 years its been since I started this search, I would wager you could count the number of newly found French episodes on one hand. Disney has denied releasing this series on home video for 30 years already, and with demand getting smaller every day, the chances are already extremely miniscule. Also as time goes on, more and more people who worked on it being gone, I just feel like while people may be able to piece together the original English, the French dub does not have a very good chance

You mentioned in this video, and your original video on DRACULA FIGHTS BATMAN that it didn't play outside of the Philippines, but that is inaccurate. It played at least three theaters in Hawaii in late 1967. Most likely it was the same print going from one to the other since there are no overlaps on play dates. But if there is a list of screening dates for the Philippines we might be able to confirm that there were at least two prints in circulation.
