it looked like it was shot full 1:85

Sorcerer was shot for 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. I never saw the original, but I ran a 16mm anamorphic print for our University film program back in the early 80's.

The opening credit sequence is squeezed. That's usually a giveaway. The simulated unsqueezed image on the right more closely resembles the logo on the cover art.
Sometimes anamorphic films will be cheated for full-frame video by using some slight squeezing to get more L/R information into the 4:3 frame. If the actors look like Twiggy, that's your clue - prime example,
Little Darlings uses this full-framing technique.
