Talk:The Needle (Igla)

Screenshots

I don't suppose we could get better screenshots for this. --Funkychinaman (talk) 23:06, 21 November 2013 (EST)

As far as I know, this movie was released on VHS, and later DVD version is simply a digitized copy of VHS. So until someone will make a new digitally version based on master film, we'll not see a better quality. Greg-Z (talk) 23:47, 21 November 2013 (EST)

Well, as I re-screencapped the article, let me explain the situation. New screenshots are from one of the co-called "half-licensed" DVD's. This DVD is considered licensed in Ukraine, but the thing is that license was purchased directly from a studio, while director Rashid Nugmanov also holds a copyright for a film partially and those all of the film's DVDs can be considered "half-licensed" excpet for a long-awaited official DVD release of both Igla and sequel/remake/spin-off Igla: Remix. If I will eventually get my hands on this thing, I'll re-screencap it again for better quality. It should be noted that there will be identical screencaps from Remix (of Margolin, especially as well as everything on this article, again), but they can't be uploaded on this page because a) they're of a different aspect ratio (as the new film was shot and recycled footage was cut to 16:9) and b) they also use a slightly different color scheme then these, featured in the original version. I hope I've cleared the situation. --Kloga (talk) 20:48, 23 December 2013 (EST)
