Remjet also serves as a light proof backing when handling a 'daylight' reel.

You wouldn't want to expose movie film at high speeds for slow motion shots without remjet.
The remjet backing is much "slippery-er" than the film base.
It also prevents static discharge.

Made with solid sides and center to facilitate loading MP cameras outside a darkroom. Some people call them daylight loads.
Interesting, I've been on well over 100 TV/Movie sets and never saw that, not all were film but many were.
Anyway thanks for the interesting knowledge.

Perforations do overlap. Thus after a few more windings there will be sufficient cover as with the plain areas.
Light penetrating through a perforation will in the layers to follow expose only the edge of the film, as Long the film is tightly wound.
A movie takes so much film that advancing film to form a safety leader (resp. the corresponding end) will not matter either.
Of course, if you had a really important screen and ended up being a rollout you would end up screwing yourself over using that kind of film reel...
No if you overshoot a roll you remove the reel in a dark bag. And reshoot like you would with a normal cassette.
You might have two good takes to splice up. The dark bag will protect the last frames...
But a good cam person will swap reels earlier than that.
Short ends are good.
