Restoration errors on 'Frenzy':

Universal were also responsible for the terrible David Lynch Blu-ray box set recently which has a plethora of problems with each film, what are they playing at?

Universal in the US have postponed their set to fix some errors (which ones we don't know yet, but the Frenzy credits would be likely).

How the fuck can the spelling in the credits change like that? I know you can manipulate colours, image etc but surely someone would notice if words on screen changed?

I'm guessing they used the negative, which doesn't have credits and stuff superimposed on it till post-production so the restorers have to recreate them by typing them out themselves.

What! :mad: Hope thats a misprint. How can there be a review when its not apparently out for over a year.
Ridiculous. Rear Window and Vertigo are the films I want.

These boxsets have got so bad you've got to source the films individually these days
