Now available on DVD in the UK!


But not in the U.S., and only available (as of now) in PAL format.

ARRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Really? That means that an Australian release should be on the way.

The DVD is completely remastered by Warners, and the result is glorious. They eliminated the offensive pan-and-scan of the VHS edition, and kept most of the very widescreen Panavision image for a 1.66:1 aspect ratio.
True, it's only available in the PAL video standard but many DVD players make the NTSC conversion internally with no discernible flicker or stutter. Well worth the investment in a new player!
