FORMAT: 35mm
CONDITION: ★★★★½
NOTES: Almost as excellently preserved as the Gremlins 2 print; even the sound is stronger than that of the precious film.

FORMAT: 16mm
CONDITION: ★½
NOTES: Selected for the ICA’s Celluloid Sundays. Horribly worn most of the time, sound was as rough as one would expect from 16mm print and rendered half of the dialogue unintelligible.

FORMAT: 35mm
CONDITION: ★★★★★
NOTES: Now this print must have been sourced from the original release, and it is surprisingly excellently preserved; hardly any any dust present most of the time, and it is usually barely noticeable when it is. Plays smoothly, colours are perfect. Only problem is that the film suddenly got burned midway by a couple of actual gremlins, and they played shadow puppets in the projection booth before loading an obscure, vintage nude film? At least Hulk Hogan of all people was there to sort things out, hope the projectionist is alright…

FORMAT: 35mm
CONDITION: ★★★½
NOTES: Could have only been a re-release print given that the picture’s colours look close to what you’d get on video albeit with a significant golden tint, and it is also faintly blurred so it could only have been printed from an HD master.

FORMAT: 35mm
CONDITION: ★★★★
NOTES: Japan Foundation print, screened as part of In Dreams are Monsters. A gorgeous and perfectly arranged print that is close to authentic; each segment ends by changing over to the next reel. Shame that the final reel of ‘Hoichi the Earless’ was projected slightly out of focus. Three of the reels change a quarter-second late, and the second reel of ‘In a Cup of Tea’ starts off unstable until the first line of dialogue is spoken.
