1988 Theatrical Release / LBT on DVD
« on: September 13, 2015, 03:05:17 PM »
Hello everyone,
I have a question and was hoping that this forum would be the right place to come for an answer! I recently bought a copy of LBT on DVD (date on back says 2011) and just got round to watching it the other night. I remember years ago when I was a kid we had a VHS copy of the film that was recorded off the TV, probably the BBC, one of my favourite films as a kid. Watching the DVD it all came back, the music, the pictures, everything. But, watching the DVD copy, some things didn't feel right, parts didn't seem to flow in quite the way my memory was telling me they should. Now, I've been reading up on the 'cut footage', and am reasonably sure that wasn't what we had on video as a kid (although some of the descriptions of cut scenes do sound verrry familiar...), but I was wondering, was the film subject to any further butchering before the DVD release? Because the DVD just feels...wrong somehow.
With many thanks in advance!
