Worst layer change?

Saw Sum of all Fears R2 recently, and had a good laugh at how badly the layer change has been integrated into the film (then I remembered I`d bought the damn thing!)
Anyone seen any really bad layer changes?

i watched this recently and had a good laugh at how badly the whole thing was integrated into a film - woeful rubbish... it was much better the first time round when it was released as hunt for red october.

sorry, couldn`t resist.

The worst layer change I have seen is in the middle of `Ghostbusters`. Its that bad it cuts out an important bit of dialogue between the main characters >:-(

The worst layer change Iv`e noticed is Short Curcuit Region 0 NTSC. The picture pauses goes a bit pixally then goes onto the neggxt layer



My brain hurts

The worst one (I think) I`ve seen is on the R1 "Casino Royale". It stops most machines working altogether, and those that can get past it stutter terribly. I decided to hang on to the second copy my supplier sent rather than have copies going to and fro across the Atlantic for weeks on end :o(

Seven (the original extremely cheap Pro Logic version)

Right in the middle of a run through a building chasing the lunatic. Awful timing.

Mind you, I had a Matsui 110 once and that used to stutter on each chapter start!

The worst ones I remember are Minority Report and The Usual Suspects, although I usually never notice them
