They just issued a DVD for this very slick and lean (89 min) action picture and I just saw it for the first time. I picked it up very cheap ($6.99) on street date based on the reviews I read of it and wasn't disappointed.
Side A has the film in pan-and-scan with a trailer.
Side B has the film in anamorphic widescreen with an alternate opening as a seperate supplement (in the place of the trailer).
The film itself was pretty neat -- but I've gotta say, it was extremely choppy. I've heard rumors about a 131-minute version, and that would make a lot of sense, since the trailer on the DVD shows a couple bits and pieces that weren't in the movie. There's a glimpse of a love scene and a pretty funny line of dialogue (threateningly: "How are you going to get down the stairs?") among other things. Anyone know if this longer version is availible in other regions, or perhaps on VHS?
Anyway, anyone who was a fan of the film back in the day might want to pick it up -- it's very cheap and the video+audio quality are pretty decent for the price.
Cheers.
