Here's what one reviewer had to say about the two-disc set on amazon.com:

Well we already know eddie 1 & 2 are underated by the critics and we love these two movies. That being said , we waited for this american release for a long time and it is disappointing, the audio (others dont agree) but sounds great on my system . The video is sharp & bright on both. however the 2 movies are on a single flipper disc and no insert inside of any kind. (hence the low price) but the most dissappointing thing is played side by side with the canadian release of eddie lives 2, its apparant you dont get to see more of the picture , the widescreen screen version actually shows less on top & bottom and the sides are same, so in my opion this was a cheap release and not what the eddie fans have been waiting for :(


So, it appears as if they just cropped the top and bottom off the full screen version in order to make it "widescreen".

Another review diparages the picture and sound quality of it, so, it would appear as if no work has been done to improve anything over the version that's been available in Canada for a few years now.
