Now we are cookin' with GASOLINE!
On the left is an image of my studio issue bootleg (
click here for the big version)... on the right is a rolled studio issue from Cinemasterpieces (
click here for the big version). Notice any differences?
Even in these small pictures this bootleg seems like an easy one to avoid. You should be able to spot it in eBay auctions as well. You can definitely tell that the bootleg didn't capture the fine detail. The crushed the contrast and detail is missing pretty much
everywhere -- in her jacket, at the bottom of his gun, on the side of face, in the smoke, the underside of the car, in the rooftops on the middle right, etc... And to top it all off the credits are blurry and the title is too red. I know there could still be small difference do the photos being taken by different people, but I would trust MPGrading not the crush the detail like this. Their photos are white balance and color calibrated. I say case closed on being able to spot the bootleg.
I love it when a plan comes together
By the way, MPGrading said they have recieved at least 3 of these studio issue bootlegs now (all exactly the same). They have only authenticated one BR, my NSS v3.
