 |  |  | | | The aspect ratio starts out as a complete 2.35:1 during opening credits, but becomes slightly cropped to an approximately 2.00:1 aspect ratio for the duration of the film. This version is taken from an actual film print with decent clarity and color. Although in serious need of restoration, this is a step up from the average budget release sourced from a VHS tape. Degradation is moderate to heavy with lots of scratches and green lines appearing frequently. The English-dubbing is poor with some distortion, a muffled sound, and low volume. Although the quality is about the same as Mei Ah's version, an extra six minutes of footage makes this the superior version to own. There are still several clipped scenes with missing frames. |
