trip42 - I bought the HD-DVD/DVD Combo version of Army of Darkness a few days ago and it will prove useful. The standard DVD version is pretty sharp (much sharper than Anchor Bay's 1999 release of the theatrical cut) and has a high bitrate. Unfortunately, this edition's colors are tinted very differently from any version/edition of the film that I have seen.
2006 Standard DVD Version on the HD Combo Edition
There's kind of a brownish tint throughout the whole movie, which makes this scene a little difficult to insert into the MGM Director's Cut edition, which looks quite different on the alternate take with Ash saying - "I'm not that good."
Alternate take from the 2002 MGM Director's Cut
Before too long I'll have the 2006 version of this shot color corrected to match the MGM version. The results so far look pretty good, but there's some more tweaking to be done. I'll be posting pictures very soon.
Maybe I should call this "The Primitive Screwhead Edition" ?
EDIT**
Well the color correction on the "Good, Bad - I'm the guy with the gun" is basically done. It is now a much closer match to the alternate take used on MGM's version.
