The Empire Strikes Back Trailer, Super8 reel, Color/sound, UFA/Büscher Films (Germany) 1983?
|
If you're expecting something narratively coherent this release is quite dissatisfactory. Most Super8 releases were digests or selected scenes from the film, but this turned out to be a 3-minute trailer instead. The trailer includes short, unrelated clips, intercut with the German title card zooming towards the camera.
I am unable to play these reels with sound, but I assume it is music only, just like the original US trailer. I can only assume that UFA took over the licence in Germany after Marketing Film's rights expired. For all I know they could be the same company. The colour on my reel has faded to red, as expected, but I've adjusted the below screenshots to look more neutral. |
