dvds zoomed in, not VHS


The VHS release in the States shows wide smooth cinematography. Unfortunately, all dvds globally are zoomed in too far to center of picture, and made jiggly in the process. VHS version reveals visual details lost on dvd transfers.

Particularly interesting the most atrocious reviews come from screening the dvd.

That's not why people hate this film... at all!

Actually, everything affects the whole. The VHS release in the States is better edited, with wider, smooth photography, and added art direction as a result. The dvd was botched overseas. Passion is appreciated about the film, though. Just remember, it is only a movie. Not a really good one, but much better seen on VHS, as released in the States.
