Yeah that was it... I wasn't the projectionist, but my friend runs the theater and I help out there on occasion. Anyways as far as I know he had no specific instructions on handling the print up front and the first 2 shows ran with no complaints but after the third show was over on the final night, he ripped the girl a new a-hole accusing her of removing 1 frame from the end credits (?) as he could tell from listening to the soundtrack. And he said it would cost $500 to replace, yadda yadda. since he had no complaints the first 2 nights, I'd assume this is a common tactic of his to scrounge up more money. I mean, there's an emulsion scratch for a few minutes in one of the reels, and there was a small jump in the first reel and film damage (like the film was crinkled), and this was not caused by this theater, and yet he never replaced that reel. I heard that his screening in Tucson security had to be called! I think his Letterman thing was an act just like Andy Kaufman's earlier appearance.
