Jason Goes To Hell DVD Cropping Gaffe

JGTH_covers
I always laugh when I see movies on DVD, or even television, where the cropping has altered the framing of a movie which  causes objects to appear that normally aren’t there. The biggest culpret is seeing boom mics appear in the frame of a picture at the top of the screen. It is quite comical and people don’t understand how the movie makers missed the mic in the shot. Fact is, they didn’t miss the fact the mic was there, it’s just that in their final print of the film, their aspect ratio had blocked out the mic.

The US DVD of Jason Goes To Hell is a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio and everything looks good in frame. In talking with Mario Kirner, his DVD German bootleg and UK version is displayed in a 4:3 aspect ratio. This ratio reveals some objects in frame that shouldn’t be seen. Check out below and see the stunt mat that the Jessica Kimble character falls onto that should be out of frame.
