This movie was suppose to be a BLOCKBUSTER for 1993, instead it became a huge flop…the budget was 18 million and only returned something like 700 thousand. Its relatively unknown but the people who do know about it have been wanting a DVD for a while. Both the VHS and LD of this movie are in fullscreen and to my surprise the HDTV transmission was also in fullscreen, which tells me that there isnt a print master and/or it was taken from the LD.

The HDTV came in @ 1080i but it had black borders on the sides, thus reducing the resolution after crop to 1446x1080. I should have some screen comparisons up in a little while comparing the source to the output of the DVD, but all in all the DVD looks pretty good for a fullscreen HDTV to DVD transfer, I think it definitily looks better than some LD cap pics I have seen anyway.

Anyone here interested alittle?
