Despite the fading there is decent shadow detail and nice definition in most shots. This is a fairly good transfer considering the age of the material, though given a better print could have looked noticeably better. The audio mix is presented in 5.1 English Dolby Digital. The frequency range is average throughout as may be expected for a mid-80s film. The front sound stage displays some directionality but lacks true depth, while the bottom end is a little uneven and only comes to life with James Horner's score.
Dialogue is fine, though lacking a realistic, full-bodied resonance.
The surrounds are employed somewhat aggressively, and do display some split action on occasion. I tried not to have high expectations for the audio, but was still a little disappointed because there is so much going on aurally. Don't expect a sonic workout of your system, but still, it's a satisfactory mix. Other audio options include English 2.0 surround and 2.0 French mono tracks, along with English Closed Captions and English Subtitles are also included. Not one single supplement is included.
