Inept but well-meaning security guard John Brown has always wanted to be a successful policeman. Stuck in the hospital totally encapsulated in plaster, John is selected for the top-secret Gadget project special hardware that allows mere thought to control mechanical appendages. Inspector Gadget is a fairly short family film filled with entertaining special effects but little plot. For a non-anamorphic transfer, sharpness is quite good while NTSC artifacts are few. Grain is almost non-existent throughout and the master print was respectably free of dirt or lint.
Black levels are well calibrated and even throughout.
The movie is contained on a single layer and is split into 13 chapter stops. English subtitles and closed captioning encoding are provided. The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is quite impressive with heavy and very noticeable use of the rear effects channels. Sounds come from all angles and at times are quite unexpected. Overall, dialogue is very clear and unmarred by background hiss.
