Upgraded transfers on older Rifftrax VODs?

[billythefist]

Sorry folks, saw you needed williamballs (thats me) but unfortunately i was a bit late to the thread. If anyone needs any of my old torrents or anything let me know, I still have all the files i seeded.

Would anybody happen to have Lady Frankenstein pleez?

Rifftrax has never done a movie with that name.

Yeah, it's actually an ICWXP riff, but Wikipedia lists it as one of Rifftrax' VODs. Who knows, maybe it's wrong but I figured I put it out there as a just in case.

The ICWXP films were released as Rifftrax iRiffs (Season 4 on thetvdb.com). Here's a link for Lady Frankenstein, bluannie. Next time you should make a post in the "Requests" subforum for maximum visibility.

Thanks ever so much Tinny, you are a marvelous human. I got lost on my way to 'requests' (translation: I figured out my mis-post about 5 seconds before I saw your response). So my excuse is too much cough syrup - makes me a spaz.

I saw this post on mst3kinfo.com. Apparently RiffTrax stealth released a much-needed better transfer of Warriors of the Wasteland. Does anybody already own this and can re-download to confirm/share?

Along with this release, RiffTrax also released an HD version of Warriors of the Wasteland (which is the sequel to this movie). I found out through DripTrax but they really should notify everyone who purchased the original transferred-from-VHS version.

I had to pay $2 to upgrade to HD, which is worth it, I guess. As bad as their original release was they really should make it a free upgrade for legacy owners as an apology for such a sub-standard release.

The original release was pretty near unwatchable. The sound doesn’t really sound much better to me, unfortunately, but there is a world of difference in the picture quality. I think that the SD versions are also the new transfer as well, but I forgot to check before I purchased the HD so I’m not 100% positive of that.

Now if only they would get a clean transfer of Abraxas. It’s the only other transfer-from-VHS release I can think of. The only reason I have a watchable version of that one is because I have a DVD set that had a decent version of Abraxas on it.

This is not exactly HD, but it is a slightly nicer, widescreen version.  I can't credit where I found it unfortunately (sorry unknown original uploader).  It's definitely a step up from the horrible pan and scan version that originally came out.  That one was like watching through binoculars.  Here you go if you want!

Thanks for the upload, Torgo! Definitely a step up from RiffTrax V1, I'd be curious to know where this came from myself.

Never seen that version come up before. Most people around here probably have Traknos' 1080p 2.87 GB version that they spent forever cutting to match up to the print Rifftrax had.
