ehh, yes and no. In some instances I think the replicas nowadays, particularly the CGP and NIGHTOWL ones are better then the screen ones. Thicker casting (if requested) better hairing and paint work. They\'re still recast off a 75 Kirk, so it\'s basically the same mask. It all comes down to lighting, shadows, and the size of the head thats in the mask to recreate an exact \'look\' from a scene.
oh yeah, the H2 screen mask was more heavily weathered, and it does have dark smudges all over the nostrils/under the nose etc. And the lips do look like they\'re shaded.
But if you watch H1 with an anal obsessiveness, you can see that the mask gets a little dirtier through the course of the movie. So I imagine by the time they made H2 they only added a little bit more weathering to make the mask dirtier. Alot of the black paint in the hair had worn off by then, which is why the H2 mask looks like it has reddish/brown hair, even though it\'s the same mask.
Some of that worn off paint could have also contributed to the black smudges on the mask. I read Debra Hill kept the mask under her bed inbetween films, so who knows?
