Matrix: "Double bullets at bottom" authentication issue

[Dread_Pirate_Mel]

I'd like to do an MPA article on the Matrix fake, if it really exists.  

I have what I believe is an original Matrix DS and an original Matrix video poster.  At the very bottom of each, you can clearly see two sets of two bullets.  (It also has laser sharp text, even for the very small text.)

According to onesheetindex.com, fakes of this poster crop out the lower bullet, so you only see one.  I've googled this and have not seen any other reference to this issue.

Does anyone have a Matrix fake/reprint with the lower bullet cropped out?  If so, we can compare photos and perhaps do a joint article for MPA.

Interesting, give it a search on ebay and you might have some success.  All I have is the Japanese B1, and it crops the bottom just above the sole of his left boot.

LOL .. Id say the easiest way to find a fake would be to surf movie goods .. and if their stock photo is the real deal you could buy one ..

Thanks for advice. The Moviegoods stock photo in fact does appear to be cut off right below the shoe. However, I'm more concerned about a more challenging double-sided fake, if it exists. I don't recall that Moviegoods sells double-sided reprints.  Also, as I've said on other posts, the text of Moviegoods posters is very out-of-focus and pixelated - an obvious reprint.  

(Attached are pics of my Moviegoods Superfly reprint. The art is quite good but the text is really out-of-focus. They made zero effort to try to make the text look sharp.)

Have you ever heard of a repro on this poster?  I've never seen nor heard of a ds reprint, though that doesn't mean too much.  The ss version is repro'd a lot, and moreso the several international versions.  I have originals of all of them.  I'd be happy to cooperate with you on this one, but I really have never seen a repro that was good enough - vis a vis the ds version - to warrant an authentication.

This is sorta like Donnie Darko.  If you have a ds version, there's no repro that I know of, so you have an original.  it was the ss version that has been rerpo'd to death.

Thoughts?
