It s certainly not reference quality, but it s much better than I was expecting. The single layered disc contains 4.4 gigabytes of information with the 87-minute the movie divided into 26 chapter stops. Although the film apparently received a brand new 5.1 audio mix for this DVD s release, I d be hard pressed to tell it apart from the original mono soundtrack on my VHS tape. The sound is still quite harsh with a fair amount of background hiss and other unwanted noise. Some special sound effects, such as breaking glass, tend to grate on the ears.
Dialogue is clear, but barely any use is made of the rear channels or subwoofer track.
It s a fun film, but don t buy it for the sound. Also on the disc is a French mono soundtrack and English captions and subtitles. In terms of extra features, there s two. The first is the original theatrical trailer. Although it s remarkably grainy, it is letterboxed and runs for a full three and a half minutes a great bit of nostalgia.
