That's a good question!

Did anyone ever compare any screenshots to the original (1971 or 1978) 16/35mm film to check for subsequently released media (Beta, VHS, LD, or more likely DVD and BD) mis-proportions? Here are some full-sized 16mm frames (just ignore the demonstrated restoration) with which to compare:

Those captures are from the SEN-talking-to-the-children sequence, just before THX & SRT hopping into jet-cars for their escape, at the last 15-20 minutes of the movie.
