Bongo is often amused by (ironically) cowbells. And likes to post about it.

My copy of Magical Mystery Tour just arrived yesterday after a week and half of beeing shipped. I got the Deluxe Edition from a third retailer on amazon, sealed, new and mint. Shot for a cheap price of 25,00 € with shipping. Great. The content is great and the box looks awesome on the shelf.

Here is a unboxing:

 

Finally got all the movies on Bluray. If I get the Special Edition BD of A Hard Days Night anywhere that would be perfect.

Hello, I am new here and am hoping with all of the Beatles fans on this page that someone will know something about this.  A few weeks ago I saw on a You Tube video that someone had posted outtakes from Magical Mystery Tour and said the footage came from a hidden menu on the dvd.  I had never heard of hidden menus before, and started doing searches online about them.  I found out that they first come out around 2009, and that many movies had them.    I have not been able to figure out if they are only on Blu Rays or regular dvd, too.  Has anyone heard of hidden menus on The Beatles dvds before?  Thank you!

Welcome to the forum @monica117

Not sure if these are on the DVD, but there are 4 Easter eggs on the blu-ray. Are these the outtakes you are referring to? To access them: 

Fish and Chips Shop” – 4:44 (go to main menu and place cursor on “Play Film”, press up arrow on remote)
Missing Dining Room Scene” – 4:10 (go to main menu and place cursor on “Play Film”, press left arrow on remote)
Magic Alex Sings Walls of Jericho” – 1:31 (go to main menu and place cursor on “Audio Options”, press up arrow on remote)
Jessie’s Blues” – 2:17 (go to main menu and place cursor on “Audio Options”, press right arrow on remote)

Good luck,

sigh

They are on the DVD because I have them and only have the DVD.

They’re found exactly the same way on the DVD as Blu-Ray.

There are also several Easter eggs on the Help and Yellow Submarine DVDs.

I’ve been waiting to see the film forever, and I just rented it, and am about to watch it.

I’m exited.

Welp, I watched the film.

It was much better than it was said to be. My favorite songs in the movie include, well, all of them. I Am The Walrus , fool on the hill and Magical Mystery Tour are the main highlights, but the rest were still great. 

And that stripper scene…paul-mccartney-thumb_gif

My favorite quotes:

“But if you look to your right (flying plays)”

“You are all my friends”

It was good!heart

What would you like to see out of a re-edited Magical Mystery Tour ? Like what scenes would you cut and which would you add back in?

tbh I’d cut the stripper scene, so that it makes it more family friendly. Replace it with more footage of the race around the racetrackahdn_john_08_gif

First time i watched thus i was like 12 or 13 years old and it was like a-hard-days-night-paul-7a-hard-days-night-paul-10ahdn_paul_01… Wierd.

I watched it again last night and quite liked it. A lot.

I remembered everything much more disjointed and absurd, but it is not like that. The truth is that for not having a clue about how to make films or how to structure (and edit) a film, I thought everything was quite well structured (within the surrealism and psychedelia of the plot). And Ringo was in charge of the photography, amazing. 

I mean, it’s not an absolute masterpiece but it wasn’t that bad after all.

The stripper scene definitely, I never need to see John and George watch a woman taking her clothes off. And I’d remove the army guy shouting very fast. 

I’d add in more of the bus getting stuck, the singing on the bus and generally just more of the normal footage of the Beatles being themselves along with performing songs.

See now, I love the Bonzos, and Spinetti’s gibberish, so I’d never want them gone.

I could live without the stripping and all the dirty old (and young) men watching, though, yes. 

Really, though, i have to say that no scene in the film makes me cringe* more than the 4-or-5 magicians bits – I just feel so embarrassed, it’s like the boys wanted the scene to be magically funny without bothering to think up any jokes or anything other than a few Goonish comic voices.

*…and THAT is how you properly use the word “cringe” in a sentence, young people! The magicians are “cringe inducing,” or “cringe-worthy”, not “cringe”

blue-meanie Thank you!

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.
