There can't be that much archive film of an actual ejection, and I think they did well with what they had. The experimentation film I had not seen before, and I was in total awe of the guy who pushed his body to the limit while taking part in tests that helped create the first successful ejector seat. His last test involved accelerating from 0-632 mph and stopping within 40 feet; and he ended up with haemorrhaging eyeballs. - did I hear 80G?
