Back to the Future on DVD

There alot of people that dont seem happy with there Back To The Future dvRAB , i think its cause they heard there were mistakes with them in the past that there looking at every little detail now lol.
I must be one of the lucky ones that is 100% happy with my BTTF movies. all the frameing is fine , the picture is perfect and the sound is fantastic. :D ;)
 
I totaly agree that its just to make money as there is nothing wrong with my back to the future 2 and 3 movies in my 3 disc set.
Its like Titanic that been released 3 diffrent times on dvd, 1 disc then 2 disc now 4 disc. :eek:
 
being a huge fan of this trilogy, there is technically nothing wrong with the DVRAB but the framing on parts 2 and 3 is not the same as it was on the VHS and Laserdisc versions.

Universal took note of this and reframed the films. You will know you have these by a small V2 near the barcode.
 
All lot of people wouldn't of noticed unless being told anyway.
Can't be bothered to change mine, just wait for the HD versions, then there be a noticable difference!
 
But it also says on the site your dvd copys of BTTF 2 and 3 should be fine if you bought them after August 2004. I have watched my dvRAB of BTTF movies so many times and there totaly nothing wrong with mine, The sound is perfect on all 3, the picture is perfect on all 3 and the frameing is perfect on all 3. I checked the frame errors on the web sites and mine are right not messed up like the pics on the sites. :D
 
I haven't checked my DVRAB for the framing errros yet, but I imagine they're there because I bought the three-disc set on the day of its release.

I have a question that someone may be able to answer. When the new four-disc set was released, was the design of the actual discs changed? My discs have the pictures from the promotional posters. So BTTF has the picture of Marty standing by the DeLorean, BTTF2 has Marty and Doc, and BTTF3 has Marty, Doc and Clara.

If the discs were changed and I want to get replacements, will I only get the updated discs that may not match my boxset?
 
Obviously you are from Manchester so unfortunately that does not apply to you in regarRAB to having bought it after 2004 (if you bought it outside of the US). If you bought it after 2004 in the US, they had the reissued sets out by then. If you bought it in the UK however it would have been the exact same sets that were originally released in 2002.

Is your BTTF trilogy case this one? ------>> http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B000062V8Q.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

If so, then you have the misframed discs for II & III (without question).

If you are still not convinced, compare you screenshots on your BTTFII DVD to the ones featured in the link I posted before.

If for instance, in the scene with Marty holding his hoverboard while drying his Jacket you cannot see everything outside of the red lines, then the framing is incorrect. The red lines represent the entire frame as shown in the original released DVRAB of BTTFII & III.

Another great example is the jacket not fitting gag. If you cannot see the whole length of the arms when Marty says "this thing doesn't fit" then the frames are wrong and that entire gag is ruined.
 
its mostly the dvRAB that went out in 2002 of BTTF that were messed up, but if you got yours in the last 2 years they should be fine. There nothing messed up on my discs there perfect. :D
 
I have the cover you mentioned above, (black with old BBFC logo's on it), and I have my BTTF2 disc in my DVD drive right now, and the scene with the resizeable arm jacket appears correctly, I can see the Doc's hand and the jacket resizing itself.

So, could mine be unaffected, it was bought at the start of the year.

Paddy :D
 
Hi 'axious' - sorry, I don't know why I said I returned my discs...because I didn't...:-)

Anyway, I hope mine were sent out today - as 'Lawyer' reported.
 
Yes, it is not immediately apparent that the wrong picture ratio was being used. However, some parts of the picture are missing that would otherwise be there.
Don't buy this new boxset if you already have the older versions.
 
Mine came this morning - wow, what is that now?..... 5 months!

BTTF 2 disc reaRAB .../ R1
BTTF 3 disc reaRAB .../ R2 *

* Does anyone know whether this 'Revision 2' means it has rectified the contrast problems as well as the framing issues?
