AR looked a bit squashed to me and constant flashing throughout + the odd bit laughter from the U.S. audience

6/6/7

Hot damn! POT strikes again with a nice ass 1 day pre-theater CAM. Picture is slightly blurry, but not dark at all. Nice WS cropping on this one boys. Now as for the sound, it's slightly hollow, but it's very understandable. Just be warned that you can hear some laughing in the audience, but it is not as bad as Shall We Dance, you can barely hear it. Movie looks so fucking funny, and i'm in the mood for a nice laugh. Release is only 1 disc .. and like i said before, 1 day pre-theater!!

Keep up the great work POT.

6.5/5/7

::edit:: movie was pretty good too, just dont watch the preview(s) too much


Posted by bcool2k on 10-08-2004 07:53 PM:

TO me, this CAM is on par with the The Cookout CAM. Small distant pic, a tad blurry but watchable. The audio is very hollow and a bit of laughter can indeed be heard. However, being that this looked pretty funny and is pre theatre. and only 1cd its definitely worth a download. and U never know. No other version of Ladder 49 besides POT rls to date Thank You POT for keeping the movies rolling in.

Just finished the film. As expected the best parts were in the preview however, its not a bad way to spend an hour and 13min. HEHE. Short as HEll. EnjOY!!

nice quality for a cam. sounds is good just annoying people laughing in the crowd but that because its a cam

6/5/8


Posted by YooHoo on 10-08-2004 08:16 PM:

Decent CAM, although the flickering is near seizure inducing. Audio is typical CAM audio. The movie, well let's just say I never laughed, not even once. Pick it up if you want, but I'd recommend gargling razor blades for a better time

6/6/0


Posted by Freeder on 10-08-2004 08:18 PM:

I'm trying to figure out why 2 of the 3 posts regarding this release don't mention the HORRID flickering in this release- If I were to watch more than 2 minutes of it, I think I would have a seizure.

Audio isn't too bad at all, except for the audience laughter as mentioned before.

This release is not worth downloading because of the flicker... get rid of that, and I may change my mind.

3/5/?

Enjoy

Posted by vip3r on 10-08-2004 08:38 PM:

I'm sorry but i noticed no flickering at all. .. dunno but i think it's just on your end .. or maybe i'm just blind

::edit:: i watched this movie and didn't notice that anything was missing. Although, at this one part, it seemed as if a few mins were cut (when they're at the department of health or something .. ), but other than that it's all there i think


Posted by wazzers on 10-08-2004 08:45 PM:

had this last night didnt think it was gonna show up here but at last.
anyway as said yes there is a flicker but not that bad imo.hollow but understandable audio. nice cropping . I LOVE POT The scene would be late without you

6/6/6 Devlish


Posted by Liife on 10-08-2004 08:54 PM:

Movie running time is an 1h40m. POT's cam running time is 1h15m. Minus about 7 or so minutes for credits. Thats a pretty sizeable chunk that is missing.

But still. Good for a pre-theatre.

6/5/?

I dunno, looked around for the running time and I've seen 97 mins, 98 mins and 90 mins. Ah well, weird. Anywhoo, this is a pretty good cam. Watchable, good-ish pic and clear sound (for a cam)

Like I said, not sure if anything is missing from the movie (1hr 13m seems very short) but I'll watch it since it's Queen Latifah.

Pic - 6
Audio - 8 (for a cam)
Movie - ??


Posted by dwayne on 10-08-2004 09:47 PM:

well since i watched it on my stand alone lastnite i seen some problems... i mean the video was great for how small the file was and you can hear some guy with a nasty ass chest cold dying at the end of the movie but... the part that really had me wondering i noticed TWO cut parts in the movie no telling how long the parts were cut for but they cut TWO parts out one when they were singing in the taxi and next thing you know they are knocking on some apt door and then when they access the computer to find out someones address and it cuts to them knocking on the apt door again ....maybe a repack?




as for the flickering ...you cant even notice it after the movie starts it only flickers on certin parts it was just the cam they used people saying that you shouldnt watch this rls because of the flickering is so bad i dont think i would agree with that and its cropped on the right side only just alittle bit no one stands up or anything ...i heard one person laughing ..and the auido is a typical pot cam nothing special

i mean i was blown away because im use to all the other pot cams ...if it had DTS sound im sure people would keep it until a dvdrip came out thats how good it was on my tv


overall this is a awsome cam and its worth picking up and seeing yourself


6/5/8

I went to see this wednesday night in the theatre. LOL

us theatres suck, canada's pwn


Posted by chL on 10-08-2004 10:43 PM:

i haven't seen this yet, I want to go see it at the teather so I'm not going to download a CAM (gj on time though).

I'd just like to say that this was inspired SO bad by Taxi (french movie, very popular in France and Quebec) lol, same kind of all-customed cab with outrageously awesome performance.

Nice video,but the flicker is intense at times.
Sound is above average.
One disk is plus.
Movie sux azz. Speed up the film,and que the funky music every
5mins for the driving scenes.
Fallon, and Queen are only bright spots.
I wish they cut more of the move out.

7/7/3

Thanks POT

Did u even watch it? missing 30 minutes!

I choose never to download POT releases as they are always sub-par. I wont complain, but I prefer no release than a half-a** release..


Posted by geltoob4000 on 10-09-2004 02:28 AM:

This reminds me of a old Finding Nemo release.

You're right. Cutting out parts of movies pisses me off, but with a movie like this, I doubt its a big deal.

FTF did this when 25th Hour came out. Their telesync ran about one hour and fifty minutes. The movie runtime was just over two and a half hours. Maybe they cut the extra scenes to fit it on one disc?

Not quite 30 mins more like 20. it cuts in two places. Before reunion with the bf and before going to look up the garbage route. I actually think it was just some rars that were not added to the sfv because the sound never cuts out. You don't miss much and all the plot and details can still be figured out quite easily. Love the females in it and the Chest cold guy and laughter was a lil obtrusive, but hey its free. It was pretty good sound other than above mentioned problems. For those of u keeping score, this was my second watch of this film and on TV it looks and sounds much better. I never even noticed the cuts before. A repack is possible, but NOT necessary. Also as for SVCD TS from whomever, good luck with all the Subtitles. Damn those girls are fine

New review of full release on TV with Stereo and Friends feedback.

Pic-Grainy but not cropped bad at all 6
Audio-Buzz at higher volumes, hollow, some laugher in later half of film, and poor cammer has a bad cold. Other than that nice 6
Overall: I can think of worst ways to spend 1hr 20min 7
Females other than queen 9's and 10s
Free movie pre theatre:Priceless. ENJOY!!

That's something i wouldn't get though. Seeing that POT has released shit at about 400MB a disc, it could be easily combined and made 1 disc .. but that doesn't really happen. This movie was in fact missing a scene, don't know how long it was, but it wasn't a big deal. I barely even noticed it was gone. Movie seemed pretty much normal to me.

You make a very excellent point and without slagging anyone off. Anyone call tell the difference between an FTF and a POT release. NO matter how bad it is


Posted by maol on 10-09-2004 09:06 AM:

Rofl. Its amazing that some ppl here says it´s "no big deal" that 20-30 minutes of the movie is missing. Why watch the movie at all if you don´t want to see all of it?

When it come to quality it´s below average for a cam, both on video and audio. The movie is a pointless remake with annoying characters.

4/3/3


Posted by brr8760 on 10-09-2004 02:34 PM:

They should have gone internal on this. TERRIBLE flickering, as bad as I've ever seen. Watch more than five minutes of this and you may experience dizziness, nausea, and an uncontrollable urge to sodomize a small, woodland creature.

way remake a perfectly good film for this steaming dung
6/6/-100
Please watch the orignal i throw this off the highest mountine


Posted by frak on 10-09-2004 06:18 PM:

does anyone actually bother to watch this crap?

not the movie (which looks to be a steaming pile) but these
shoddy releases.

i don't give a flying monkeys ass if it's a pre, blah blah blah.

if the quality sucks and the sound - sounds like you're in a
can, who the hell wants to watch that?

it's maven, videocd, centropy, one or two others or nothing
these days.

they actually release stuff you can sit through.

if pot released quality like maven, they'd be on that list.

Crap movies don't require great video and audio to watch, because they are crap movies anyway. POT consistently puts out fast and watchable stuff. If you don't like it, then wait another week or two and hope another group puts out something better, if they put out something at all.

Thanks, POT!


Posted by lickmyzack on 10-09-2004 11:32 PM:

Same crappy version my buddy bought on a NYC street corner earlier in the week... movies missing this much footage deserve to be nuked for being incomplete... cutting the credits is acceptable.. this is not.

ratings based on a checking out a few rar's...

6/6/can't rate movie until seeing it in it's entirety

should rate 0/0/? because it's not complete and shouldn't be rated at all.

I like Jimmy Fallon and am looking forward to seeing a complete version of this.. should be brilliant.

LMZ


Posted by albinofunk99 on 10-10-2004 12:51 AM:

definitely 25mins of this missing waste of time downloading it do not bother


Posted by ant on 10-10-2004 01:01 AM:

Just finished getting movie....have'nt watched it yet....just skimmed through it.....picture does'nt look that bad for a cam ,has a slight flicker in it,its definately missing parts....sound is not to bad ,from what i heard ,a bit hollow....its watchable if you don't mind the missing parts.
Props to Pot for a fast rls on this ....to bad about the missing parts.


Video/5
Audio/5.5
Movie/?


Posted by MovieNut on 10-10-2004 05:20 AM:

Crap...more Crap, and yet MORE CRAP!!! POT....STOP THE MADNESS!!! GIVE IT UP!!!


Posted by chL on 10-10-2004 05:57 AM:

I usually don't get CAMs, hate them, but I got this one, bad decision. Picture is grainy and unwatchable (to me), soud's just the same, and there's an annoying fuzz. I only watched the first few minutes and quit trying to watch this rls.

I do believe so people like CAMs, and it's alright.. I don't want to flame POT at all, timing is great.

4/4/?


Posted by BLUE-NEO on 10-10-2004 07:35 AM:

blah , I really wanted to see this..waste of a good pic..jacked up sound and missing over 20 mins of footage 4/2/?

why does a vcd-group should cut video parts? problems while they was recording with cam?


Posted by rickhype on 10-10-2004 06:45 PM:

just finshed watching and of course as mentioned parts are missing. Movie was a pile of shite anyway so i don't think i missed anything. Slight flickering but not as bad as others have mentioned and audio was damn good except for near the end when the man sounds like he is going to die. Trailers showed the best parts of this lame movie.

omg pot made a mistake, so what! Every group does once in awhile. Without pot we wouldn't have these quick watchable releases which are sometimes the only release until a screener. so you should be grateful that they step up almost every time.

5\6\4

video 5 for missing scenes


Posted by bcool2k on 10-10-2004 10:11 PM:

NUKED: Taxi.CAM-POT = Reason: missing.20.mins.of.footage


WOOT. Sorry POT but looks like it finally got NUKED.hehe. perhaps a repack will soon follow or NOT. Just thought people may want to know. Longest decision for a NUKE i've ever seen.
