Video Notes:

All three are not ideal.

Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray has frozen grain, sharpening, lots of debris, and handles lesser materials. The supposed non-Superscope version is false advertising. It merely reveals more picture information.

Criterion CAV LaserDisc is the most consistent due to a lack of image processing.

Best Audio:

1992 Republic Pictures LaserDisc PCM Mono
