Lost (or unavailable) media

The first thing I saw when I clicked on the link was a link to this article.

I think I'm going to like this site.

It was found just yesterday

I would like to get my hands on Saban's BIO-MAN. It was the first attempt Saban made at bringing sentai to America and it features my favorite Showa era team.

I'm not gonna wait for English subs. I might not even need them.

I'll wait until tomorrow or so to watch it, though; I'm getting my laptop back in the morning.

DBZ Abridged might even use footage from it

I'd like to have copies of the 1987 adaptation of Man on Fire, William Friedkin's Rampage, Michael Mann's The Keep, and maybe the Laurence Olivier disaster Inchon!

I'd love to see a higher quality version of the Apocalypse Now workprint. Have both copies that ciruclate and while the second is pretty decent, would love to see a 2nd or 3rd gen copy. Probably won't happen though.

I'd be pretty excited if a copy of King Kong Appears in Edo ever turned up. Also the original cut of von Stroheim's Greed.

There are way too many Arthur & King of the Hill YouTube Poops I'd love to watch again, but they've long been deleted. One that always slayed me was from 2009 where Mr. Ratburn "died", and the Portishead song "roads" play, and then Binky interrupted with, "WHAT'S OHIO?!"

Oh! The wiki says that two of the Cathy (yes, that Cathy, yes I know right) animated specials is considered "lost". Um, I have a copy of the Valentines special right here. That's my commercial break on the page.

You should submit it to them! That would be awesome.

For my part, I really miss Pinwheel, the old Nickelodeon kids show. They played old trippy Euro-toons between skits, and I still have a lot of those songs stuck in my head twenty-eight years after the fact. (YouTube has a lot of short clips but Nick used to show it in huge hypnotizing three-hour blocks.)

There also used to be a public-access thing where a narrator would read an excerpt from a children's book--Little House in the Big Woods, Half-Magic, The Boxcar Children, maybe even Charlotte's Web--while a man illustrated the scene in oil pastels. That show introduced a lot of nifty stories to me when I was little. I remember successfully locating the artist and the name of the show a few years back, but there don't appear to be any clips.

Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freakshow. A 1992 animated film from Japan so disturbing, perverse, and soul-crushing that it was banned, the master reels confiscated and destroyed. According to Wikipedia, it is partially lost, with "some sequences surviving only in standard definition from telecining" prior to its seizure. There are clips of it available on YouTube, but I'm not sure if the full film is available to stream on that site.

Okay, I hate to admit it, but I really like Shakespeare plays that are adapted to modern day settings. (Yeah, I know, cringe worthy.) Anyroad, there's a film out there of Richard III set in modern day Hollywood and starring David Carradine that we'll probably never see since Carradine's estate is contesting distribution.

I mean, it has Danny Trejo playing the Mayor of London. I must see Danny Trejo do Shakespeare before I die!

There's some unreleased music I'd really like to hear.
Buddy Holly did some demos before he died that are basically a prototype for punk rock. In the late 1950s.
The Beatles recorded a version of Holly's Not Fade Away. It wasn't released due to the Stones release as a single.
Another Beatles recording that won't see the light of day is the song Carnival of Light. Paul has aggressively denied it ever being released.
Before Ozzy was officially fired from Black Sabbath, the singer for Savoy Brown filled in. I'm curious as to how that went.

I'm a giant spurg of lost media. yuriofwind is a great youtube channel for video game related.

I was never much of a Harry Potter fan, but one thing that would've made me go and willingly see those movies was the planned inclusion of Rik Mayall as Peeves the Poultergiest. They did film some scenes with him in but they were cut from the movie.

“So that was the best film I’ve been in, because I wasn’t in it and it was crap. It was crap, because I wasn’t in it.”

This version has and english dub

That's the dub they did in the Philippines. They also did one in France where they made 2 later sentai sequels. Believe there's one from Central/South America too.

Supposedly Saban shot American footage to frame around the sentai footage, a precursor to what he would make famous years later.

Ah, gotcha....

I'm a 'Back to the Future' fan. I'd like to see the original footage they shot with Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly. (they shot almost the entire movie before Stoltz was let go.) According to Thomas F. Wilson (Biff Tannen) Stoltz' performance wasn't that great. He was a 'method-actor'-douchebag who was going a little too hard on the shoving in a particular scene, and wouldn't even acknowledge Wilson's requests that he dial it back a bit. Stoltz got fired before Wilson could exact his revenge in an upcoming scene where biff gets physical with Marty.

[Dark Mirror Hole]

Would love to see James Nguyen's unreleased scifi drama Replica (made in 2005). James Nguyen has said that he will not be releasing it and is planning a remake. Currently, the only available footage is this trailer.

The first four-ish mst3ks from the ktma local channel season are gone forever. Nobody was recording the show yet.

Best Brains has the master tapes. So they're not truly lost. IMO, season zero is pretty shitty and really not worth watching unless you're an extreme hardcore mstie.
