FORMAT: 35mm
CONDITION: ★★★★½
NOTES: Although a cut follows one of Mama’s jokes about her breasts, the horrible scene in which Molly is violently raped plays slightly off position and the credits suffer prominent damage, the print otherwise looks so stunningly crisp and vivid that any dust that does get in the way is hardly noticeable. First five minutes following the Guild and Chargeurs logos ran with heavier motion blurs, sort of like it was scanned from a digital NTSC copy circa ‘95.

NOTE: Intended to see this double-billed with You Don’t Nomi, but a few days walking into chanting, COVID-spewing football men’s territory put me off and I moved it to the day after our bumhole Prime Minister lifted restrictions while self-isolating (still a safer environment than it would be during the Euros, ironically). Took D9, but when the PCC decided to reinstate social distancing, I moved to D10 so that I had the required one-gap distance from my neighbours who had initially chosen to sit directly next to me.

FORMAT: 35mm
CONDITION: ★★★½
NOTES: Noticeably brown-tinted towards the beginning - which opens on the BBFC card, the Guild logo and a near-silent Universal logo - and some faint vertical lines cover the first reel, but also a crisp and often clear print. The scene that suffers the worst comes towards the end of the second reel, when one of the mini-Ashes jumps into Ash’s mouth and starts to become the Evil Ash, which from the moment Bruce’s eyes are in close-up is practically jailed in green vertical lines all across the screen. Ash says, "I ain’t that good," after shooting his evil counterpart. Ended on the Universal-mandated happy ending, and cut off before the music over the credits could end.
