i know its not the version Dan endorses, but I like the longer Theatrical Cut better. Can't figure out why. If a new edition is released, I'd like to see each cut treated equally.
The new DVD version, from VCI's Magic Lantern Entertainment, presents the film in the best quality available, which admittedly isn't up to reference standards. The video master is analog tape, probably 3/4" or Betacam (you can see a brief tape hit during the opening sequence).
If this is true (and I still think this is an old transfer from at least one of the 1980's VHS releases) then we should start talking to Anchor Bay to see if, when VCI's license expires, they might acquire this and give it the treatment it deserves.
