They did say "it was LIKE 1:85", so they got close enough to the type of wide screen format used, but missed by-this-much. Simple misremembering error (unusual for this crowd of minutiae film geeks, but nobody's perfect).
It was great fun seeing this movie in the theatre - when it was BRAND NEW in 1980. The original poster art - showed a woman with stockings and high heels in a room (or a bathroom) . There was a TV movie called "She's Dressed to Kill" (? or something like that) and it was about models being killed - one by one (on an island?) . Was this my imagination ? So when Dressed to Kill came out - I somehow thought it was going to be the same theme - models killed one by one. After Dressed to Kill ; I don't think Blowout was great or anything .. and the movie after that was DREADFUL (can't even remember the name - it's the one where Frankie Goes to Hollywood's sucky song "Relax" is used.) .
why is the screen all messed up? its really wide and only the bottom half appears
It was a wide screen video but got crop panned for VHS.
Not Angie Dickinson's body in the shower - it was a double named Victoria Johnson.
shame!
It is shot in 2.35:1 not in 1.85
03:20. 1.85 ratio?? That's a puzzling mistake. This movie makes extensive use of the 2.35:1 frame.

Very weird mistake. Tarantino's memory is usually bullet proof on this kind of stuff.
