Shake Hands With Danger is officially a classic

[Jam Handy]

Just so ya know, the esteemed Turner Classic Movies channel will air Shake Hands With Danger (1970) tomorrow (Sunday) morning at 5:33 am ET.

But we all know which version is the real  classic, don't we?

Hopefully someone will record it in case it's a version in better condition than the one we are accustomed to.  Add the Rifftrax audio (which I assume will need a little shifting around if it's a different transfer) and presto! improved version!

Great minds think alike!

I forgot I have the entire four volume set of The Educational Archives.  Shake Hands with Danger is on Volume 4: On The Job.

I'm ripping it and will check the quality vs the Rifftrax version in a bit.

This is what happens when you buy something that gets stored outside the rest of the collection.  It's in an awesome looking lunchbox including a thermos.

Aaaaaand now I have the theme song from this short stuck in my head.

Every sentence you just typed tickled my brain meats.  

Exceptional.

I haven't forgotten this. I haven't found a recording of the TCM broadcast but I have come across another version that at first glance looks superior to what we currently have.

I'll try to get on this later in the week.

Has anyone other than rifftrax done a solid riff of this I should hunt down?

Great work, Everyone. Just make sure all of you keep at least 3 points of contact with the grab-irons at ALL times... ; )

First off, for those not aware, Rifftrax cut roughly 09m 20s from this short. 

After watching parts of a few different versions, I settled on the AV Geeks source.  Buy 'em a coffee:  AV Geeks

The title card for whatever reason looks absolutely awful but everything else is better than the Rifftrax source.

There will be 4 versions coming:

720p full length:  720 full

1080p full length:  1080 full

The above versions have the riffed version as the default (original program in the unriffed sections) and the original program as an alternate track.  

720p rifftrax edit:  work in progress

1080p rifftrax edit:  work in progress

The above two will probably only contain the rifftrax audio track (I need to get a more robust video editor to finish these)
