fwiw, the '89 french gold disc version was the most interesting french release to me despite the horrible pressing quality. The 94 and 95(pyramid) releases were a better pressing but I think they messed with some stuff as the colors don’t seem as vibrant to me. These are all theatrical prints btw.
The 1993 german silver screen collection was also seemingly less tampered with than the later french releases.
My favorite laserdisc thus far is the 82 Pan and Scan version from fox as it is probably the least tampered with. It is, however, pan and scan and I’m not a color guy so I can’t comment as to it’s authenticity but I “think” it’s pretty close to what it should be despite a slight redshift. The print must have been at least 4-5 years old by the time they scanned it and pressed this laserdisc.
On the left is a quick adjustment in vlc. I just adjusted the hue a tad and boosted the saturation. The right side is the original timing of the laserdisc. Assuming that I got the levels right before encoding, that is.
