United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2.4 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Mono ), English ( Subtitles ), ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (1.78:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Anamorphic Widescreen, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: An experiment gone wrong gives new meaning to the saying "you can't get there from here" in this sci-fi drama. Professor Steiner (Bryant Halliday) is a scientist working on a machine that will "project" matter from one place to another; while he's making considerable progress, the device is not yet perfect. Steiner believes that he's close to a breakthrough, but his superior Dr. Blanchard (Norman Wooland) doesn't believe in the project and cuts off Steiner's funding. Not willing to give up on his invention, Steiner learns that visiting researcher Prof. Lembach (Gerard Heinz) might be willing to back him, so with the help of his assistant Shelia (Tracey Crisp), he attempts to "project" himself into Lembach's hotel room with his experimental machine. However, the equipment goes awry, and Steiner emerges as a hideous electrically charged mutant whose touch can kill, sending him on a spree of revenge against those who tried to stop him. The Projected Man was the sole directorial credit for TV writer Ian Curteis. ...The Projected Man

I watched this film expecting something fair but what i watched was very forgettable. Thin on the production costs and thin on the script, The Projected Man is a poor movie, despite the efforts made by lead actor Bryant Haliday. I would advise anyone thinking of purchasing this movie to not bother

Format:DVD
This is quite a good film, but I'm disappointed that it is 16:9 (1.78:1) and not in its correct Techniscope aspect ratio of 2.35:1 (but at least it's an anamorphic transfer). It looks like there hasn't been any panning and scanning, either, as certain shots look awkward and leave things out of view that could have easily been included in the 16:9 image.
The BBC is credited on the cover. They were also credited on the cover of the previous VHS release in '97, which was cropped, as well, but
looking better than when they showed the film on television at around the same time - in a 4:3 pan and scan.

Transfer is nice. I don't know much about screen sizes/ratios. For some obscure reason the cover does credit the film as BBC copyright. The DVD is from 2Entertain, but Amazon credits "cinema club" which I thought folded a few years ago
