It's a good question none, ever since '97 I have wondered what kind of manipulation caused these unnatural flashes of pink, I can't recall if it was like that in the theaters back in '97, I always thought it had something to do with the contrast issues and the pink tint in the '97 telecine as many things got screwed up on that but when the DVD also had those unnatural flashes... the GOUT is washed out and have clipped whites but the kind of highly saturated flashes seen in the SE isn't normal.

Also if the lasers in the corridor shootout got recomped in '97 or '04 they did a very good job as they match the originals perfectly in timing and appearance as far as I can see, something they never bothered with in any other place in the trilogy were they recomped, they definitely look like the original elements but maybe they tried out some kind of digital enhancement on them in a few places, I don't know.
