They should have included it in the SE version... I'm sure that'll happen
with a re-issue in the next few years... Super Special Edition!!!

Let's not forget how much the sound sucked in the original. Even more so on the DVD.

I have found that you never really get a good copy from TCM. However, there should still be official copies of the original film on DVD floating around. I have an original MGM NTSC DVD from a few years ago and the quality is so much better than anything on TCM.
Also all the footage on the original not in TTWII SE is now available on collectors DVD's with cd sound quality

I have the Original TTWII Laserdisc with digital sound,i also have the DVD of the original TTWII but the sound is thinner and full of hiss compared to the Laserdisc.

Why must it always be about the sound? What's wrong with you people?

Sound be damned! At the very least, we still have the ugly lesbians talking about how big of an Elvis fan their cat is. What more could we possibly want in an Elvis documentary??!!

LOL Rob! But given how they had the hots for Elvis could they have really been ... you know ... the L word?

You can have this version if you like. I did it in photo shop for someone:

Did'nt know the lesbian movement was going strong way back in 1970 !!! LMAO !

#264286

I think we should refer to lesbian Elvis fans as Elvisbians.

you guys crack me up...

thankfully the outtakes of these two have yet to surface, the pair looks a little dysfunctional to me

we might just find out that one of the girls is named Tommorow

and,

Tommorow Never Comes.........

p.s. the sound on the MGM US Laserdisc is also better than the MGM US DVD

I've always fealt they should have included a remastered version of the original TTWII along with the SE dvd.

I watched the film again two days ago. Old tape, picture quality isn't up to DVD, but what the heck it's fun entertainment. Shoot that Hollywood camera!

Anyway I have been wondering about the Others aka the people.

Where did the crew film the people in the church? Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but damn that man is just unfriendly to Elvis and his fans. What about the guy in the blue sweater? Did he ever write an angry letter? The African-American, who gets interviewed, is he the same guy who can be seen sitting ringside, rooking to "Patch It Up"? His text sounds scripted, but anyway. I found the International director interesting. Wonder where the autograph (Elvis and the Colonel) on his wall is these days.
