You can see the slight fluctuations between all three. The SE master added more color depth and in places more correct tones due to the scan being far more advanced. It also preserves the frame, as the old master was cropped on all sides. I'll need to check my LD just to make sure there are no differences.

The SR stereo mix is a beast, with huge low end that frequently creeps in, and the LD preserves this without the analog distortion and noise ceiling found on the print version. Especially the sibilance.

The other thing is that the film is surprisingly soft looking. The print had this almost to the point of appearing slightly fuzzy in some scenes. It isn't a sharp picture, in fact looking more like there was continual use of slight diffusion throughout. I think the photography is far more intricate than that of the first film. Burton even imposed some Kane like trick shots with extreme close focus on a subject while maintaining deep focus on a subject in the background. Because of their lack of experience in this it left some telltale errors. (Shot of Schreck coming into Penguin's upstairs lair with Pengy in the extreme foreground writing. Both are in focus, yet if you look closely at about the center of the frame, there is a thick gauze of haziness in that area due to the optical attempting to cover the join of the two separate pieces of film.)
