Just to clarify, that VHS clip is actually a recording from a TV airing on German network SAT.1, it’s not a commercial VHS release. More precisely, it’s a bootleg Polish dub (“rychlodabing” is apparently the term) done on top of a recording of a SAT.1 airing (in the Polish “lektor” method of a single male voice reading over the original audio). The video quality does look like the tape has been copied a few generations - at least one to get the Polish dialogue on top of the German recording, possibly a generation between the SAT.1 off-air recording and the tape that got to the Polish dubbers, probably more after the Polish dub because these were (I assume) distributed by people giving a copy of their copy to someone else.
