I also saw this movie in the theater in 1981, and the colortiming & grittier look of the WoWoW edition is much closer to how it actually looked in the theaters then versus the current Bluray release. I have the 2003 DVD release as well, and although that has some flaws to it, it is more theatrically correct also.
Is anyone who has this WoWoW version, planning on uploading it to MySpleen in the near future? I see that there are links to the WoWoW veersion on the Paradox site, but they are so slow.
