Here he stars as President Skroob and the venerable Yogurt, playing both with energy and intense humor. A full frame version, which is an open matte transfer, is included on the other side of the disc. The print is clean, with little flecks to be found, and compression errors are minimal, although some scenes have some distracting edge enhancement and moire patterns. But these are minor quibbles, and the overall image is great. Colors are rich and vivid, free from all but minor distortion, and flesh tones are natural as well.
Contrast is sometime a little soft, but to a distracting degree.
This uses a Dolby Digital 5.1 track to replicate the audio, and is above and beyond what I expected. The surrounds are used all the time, with all manner of explosions and blasts searing through your system. The dialogue does not drown in all that though, and it sounds crisp and clear, with no volume issues at all. This disc contains all the goodies found the previous laserdisc release. You'll find the original theatrical trailer, a behind the scenes featurette that runs about nine minutes in duration, and an audio commentary track by director Mel Brooks.
