  1. 35mm Scan Rips (TC-2002): A few collectors have obtained actual 35mm release prints from 2002. Using professional-grade film scanners (like the Lasergraphics ScanStation), they have created 4K ProRes scans of these decaying prints. These files are massive (100GB+), contain the original chemical color timing, and include the organic reel-change "cigarette burns."
  2. The French DVD "PAL" Master: International fans have discovered that the original French PAL DVD (released by Wild Bunch) contained a different, more accurate transfer than the US or UK versions. This low-resolution (576i) master is currently the only official digital source that preserves the true red bias. The Irreversible 2002 Internet Archive has preserved this rare ISO image extensively.
  3. Restoration Projects: Hobbyists using DaVinci Resolve are comparing the 4K scans to the Blu-ray, attempting to regrade the high-definition source to match the original 35mm look. These are unofficially labeled "Fan Resurrected v1.0" or "Noé's Intent 2002 Edit."
