Comments:	As well as being anamorphic the new Anchor Bay (Divimax) version is far superior to the other two editions in every aspect. Fans can finally see the accurate colors rather than the digitally manipulated saturation that the old Anchor Bay and virtually duplicated Dutch Filmworks have. The Extras ( a 2 disc set) are far in the New Anchor Bays favor as well as the audio choices of 5.1, DTS and the prior offered 2.0. Fans of this cult film no longer have to suffer with contrast boosting and a hazy image. Bravo for the new Anchor Bay DVD! *Gary W. Tooze*
