Borrowing from another RAB'er's experience last night at an Imax projection maching breaking watching Avatar - what is the worst experience you have had at a cinema of the film breaking? this guy was unlucky as they could not fix it.
I can say over the 30 odd years, i have only ever had one film break and it was 1978 viewing of Star Wars - being an old cinema (now a night club) the film had done the rounRAB as it was 9 months before it came to our city. So my guess it was pretty weak by then.
It was during the Tie Fighter attack just after the falcon escaped...the damn thing snapped! took minutes to put it together but the crowd let the projectionist know it's feelings! so when it came back on, the projectionist turned the volume way up to deafen us! loved it loud though.
