This particular bit of evidence for the crappiness of the GOUT release first appeared on the Faces/THX/Definitive Collection NTSC LDs, presumably as an artifact of the DVNR noise reduction process. It only seems to be an issue in this scene on the NTSC version. The PAL THX LDs don't show this error. And neither do transfers (such as the Japanese Special Collection) prior to the DVNR'ed releases.
