Best Audio Release

Arrow's English mono is from the soundtrack negatives, with light noise reduction but still the highest quality anywhere. The main title is restored from the 1985 LaserDisc analog mono.

The 1985 CBS/Fox LaserDisc for untouched English mono despite element defects and an incomplete print used. The main title on this LaserDisc is the highest quality version known to exist.

The Arrow 5.1 is a careful upmix from their mono restoration to create a purist multichannel mix.

The Italy mono exists in lesser quality but Arrow performed additional restoration work to improve what they could.
