Yes, that's right. The 16mm projector shown here has mono sound and a single audio track. The 35mm cinema films had two tracks for stereo or dolby encoded surround sound.

Jimbo's big bag'o'trivia has a quite good overview here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound-on-film

That last shot is incredible.~16mm home movies FTW, Clouzot, Cayette needed some good frog-stock like this circa-silver!

Normally this footage would have been projected onto a screen six, ten or twenty feet across.
How big is your monitor? >> ^rosser99:

I mean this genuinely.... how can this be both HD and 16mm film? Is it a high def "capture" from the film? Because I didn't think camera technology from this time would pass as HD.

my first rock'n'roll memory: I'm 5 years old and I live on a farm with my granny and grandpa. our closest neighbors have a son, he's some 12 years older than me. he's like an older brother to me. it's sunday afternoon and I go over to his house to persuade him to take me trout fishing. instead, I find myself in a darkened room with half a dozen weird looking boys staring at the square of bright light on the far wall, slowly sipping from their beer bottles in anticipation. some of them have extremely long hair, which I find odd. some of them are also smoking, which I can't stand. I want to leave but then I see the projector. I've never been to the movies before. then my neighbor comes in with a reel of 16mm tape. he does something magical to the machine and suddenly, as the sound floods the place, I notice huge speakers nested on either side of white linen sheet that acts as a screen. the picture is bad, dark and grainy, but it's the most fascinating thing I've ever seen. I hear names whispered in the dark as the faces on the screen come and go off stage. strange, foreign names like "Jimi", "Janis" and "Joe" ...

guessed it yet? yes, it was the Woodstock tapes, and I'm addicted ever since

It looks like they shot this on shitty 16mm. Coolness.

fyi this clip is not from the movie The Forbidden Zone as mentioned in the description...this is a 16mm clip from the DVD that was filmed before the movie. Here is the clip from the movie.

thank you so much! i've been searching for this on dvd/vhs for a few years to no avail. i have many fond memories of watching this on 16mm during rainy days at school.

Oh fer Chrissakes!....Anybody!!??
Howabout two classic Hollywood money makers, on a weekend with a 16mm, spending their extra cash, and making history....!

Actually, Scopitones were video-jukeboxes that ran 16mm film clips. There are lots of 'em out there on the intarweb-hopefully more will be posted here on teh siftorz.

This one is absolutely gorgeous, the film has faded and the background has taken on a beautiful, lavender hue, and when was the last time, if ever, you saw a music video done in one, long, continuous take? It's like the Copacabana scene from Goodfellas!
