Released in 1995 and reissued numerous times thereafter, this version of Fritz Lang's seminal silent science fiction masterpiece "Metropolis," was distributed to home video by bargain basement video label Madacy Video, otherwise known as Madacy Music Group.
This edition became notorious in collector's circles for its poor picture quality, its freeze-framed intertitles (derived from a Thunderbird Films print) and its grossly inappropriate musical score comprised of random needle-drops. However, this was the most widely available version of the film for many years until the 2002 restoration finally made it obsolete.
I am posting this for posterity to show younger audiences how difficult it was to not only seek out but outright watch silent films during the heyday of home video. Madacy repackaged this version so much that it became known as simply "The Madacy Version." Madacy released "Metropolis" in numerous standalone versions in 1995, 1997, 1998 and 1999. It was also issues in at least three science fiction boxsets released by Madacy, including in one of their massive ten VHS boxsets.
This is an awkward time capsule of the 1990s when silent films were difficult to come by and one had to settle for one of these cheaper versions just to satisfy their hunger for them.
