The DVD offers only the slightest improvement in color fidelity and image clarity over its Laserdisc counterpart. The DVD offers rich saturated colors and an impeccably detailed image. Digital artifacts are not easily detectable on the disc. The digitally encoded Dolby Surround soundtrack has a great mix full of ambiance and fun directional effects. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack is head and shoulders above its matrixed counterpart.
Directional effects are much more clearly defined, and the bass packs a real wallop.
The DVD audio also offers Spanish and French language soundtracks. Subtitles are available in Spanish and Korean.
