... P&S, bad quality DVD-what can you do...

Never heard of this film before, so I did a bit of digging. Although the DVD is P&S, apparently there was a Japanese laserdisc that was widescreen (AR letterboxed 1.75:1). Unfortunately it contains subtitles in the picture.

However, next Tuesday 27th May at 2:35am, it will be shown on Sky Movies Sci-fi/Horror. Maybe someone who subscribes to Sky Movies (I don't) will be able to capture a nice anamorphic version for you (admittedly with PAL speedup, but that's easily dealt with...)


Thank you Moth3r & SilverWook! :-)

I didn't know that the Japan LD was WS. I did some looking on ebay the other day to see if the US LD was WS, but unfortunately it's also P&S.

With the Sky movies scifi airing- this seems like a good opportunity for someone to do a preservation, since the WS movie isn't commercially available on DVD.
