Interesting comments on how different so-called enhanced versions of a film can come up short vs. the original.
An example that comes to mind is the classic surf film "Storm Riders" by Hoole/McCoy. Quite a few years ago I found and purchased a VHS version on eBay but years later the DVD was available so I bought it thinking this would be an "upgrade" from the VHS version.
Boy was I wrong! They cut out some really great parts of the movie including the Ted Deerhurst segment. Ted was an English lord. A vicount to be exact. He's the only British surfer to date ever to compete in the A.S.P. World Tour and be ranked in the top ten. This segment was really cool....the background music was a song called "I'm not like everybody else" by Jimmy and the Boys (an Aussie group of course) and showed Ted working out as he trained to compete on the world surfing tour platform. He narrates quite a bit of the segment too. Ted passed away a number of years ago at a fairly young age so taking this segment out really bites on that level alone!!!
Here's the trailer to Storm Riders...it's a cult classic! But get the VHS so you can see Vicount Ted!
