My point, though, is that it seems odd that certain effects shots which were much more colorful and dynamic in the older "faces" versions were degraded in the S.E.'s. These transfers were only 2 years apart, and I believe that the changes are unintentional; they are just inherent in the 70mm print that they used. The only reason I brought the older VHS into it is that, oddly enough, it matches the S.E. perfectly. I used it as reference to the original theatrical print.

Couldn't you then take these effects shots out of the 1997 S.E. and insert them into the "Faces" edition in place of the enhanced shots, to help create the true theatrical versions?
