I believe the Bluray release and the metrodome release especially used the original film as a source (mainly becuase they 'restored' the left and right sides) , I suspect the same film as well, since you can see the same scratch on it in the same place. Just a shame that the Blu-ray release copped the image to make it widescreen. Artificially widescreen. Sigh, I can't watch that version because of that!
Ah. Interesting on the restoration, thanks for the info.

And yeah, I don't think that 'Rocky Horror' is the best example, as it's been playing regularly at quite a few theatres since release.

I've always been too scared to go to a cinema showing of it, though.


EDIT: Actually, I wonder how many versions of the '86 movie still exist as an original print. There were quite a few different cuts for different countries, would be interested to know how many are still in salvagable form.
