I think I'm so used to watching Duel on 8mm through my Elmo projector I got it into my head somehow that is was shot on Super8!
You have a super 8 print of Duel?
Yep!
Well... my friends copy really. We had stacks of Super 8mm movies at the time which we used to put on Super 8mm movie nights.
We even used to have a few 8mm reels of 'Pearl and Dean' UK movie adverts that we used to show before the films, just to create that nostalgic feeling of when we were kids going to the 'flicks'!! [flicks = British term for movies!]
Like this one:think there's an old American Coke advert in there mixed with British adverts and British 'local' adverts relevant to where the film was being shown.
Did you used to get similar old cinema adverts like this in the U.S ??
Actually just thinking about it - I used to love the adverts just as much as the ice cream breaks!! hehehe and people nowadays actually go to watch the film ! How weird! [;)]
WOW! I'M REALLY OFF TOPIC NOW!! I've ruined what was a good thread and am now just talking about ice cream and adverts!! Ha! [:#]
Anyhoo William - perhaps try some Super 8mm forums if you need Super 8mm prints of fetures: http://8mmforum.film-tech.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=2
