Is it the one in the (Miscellaneous) "Manuals" section here on Film-Tech?

Page 36 of that manual has quite a few titles listed with the info you're looking for.

Posted by Mark Lensenmayer (Member # 134) on 07-16-2009, 04:55 PM:

Yes, it is the same manual. It is listed as Stereovision 3D Principles. It was given out to techs when Jaws 3-D was getting ready to roll out.

For the sake of indexing in the future, it would be good to correct the spelling of "Artigato" for the final title "Domo Arigato". Also, "Magnificent Guardsmen" ended up being better known as "The magnificent Bodyguards".

Below are the films from that list I have not seen. If anyone remembers seeing them, it would be good to know about it.

-"The 3-D Movie" *in production June 1983. I believe this film was never finished/shown outside the producer's circle. Parts of this film have made it around, though.

-"Swordkill" *in production June 1983. This sounds like a Japanese film I may or may not have seen. At that time, I couldn't tell them apart from the chinese [Wink]

-"Rah Rah You're Dead" *in production June 1983. This doesn't rign a bell.

-"Return of the Living Dead" *in production June 1983. Was this ever really re-made in 3D in the 80's? Don't recall. Night of the Living Dead was re-made in 3-D in 2006, but that's the closest thing AFAIK.

-"Dark Zone" *in production June 1983. Again, don't remember seeing this.

-"Rock and Roll Hotel" *in production June 1983. I don't recall seeing this, but I think I read about it somewhere.

-"Tiger Man". Never got my hands on a copy of this or saw it anywhere for that matter (except in literature). It was also advertised as "The Fist" in Europe, I think.
