The HD version looks fantastic. Unfortunately, there is an INHD² watermark on the image. But even worse, it has been cropped to 16:9 and a lot of image has been lost at the top and bottom. Nevertheless, it is leaps and bounds better than my laserdisc.

As someone who upped an HD version of Rad about a year ago, I can say that it isn't a matter of cropping. The movie was open matte on LD and VHS, and the anamorphic widescreen version crops out only unneeded information that was never meant to be seen in the first place.
