The balance of the film is transferred brilliantly. The colors are sharp and clear with very little over-saturation in the reds. It's a wonder why DiscoVision didn't produce images like this more often. The transfer would put its best against some of what we are seeing today. However, the Pan & Scan image is a far cry from good. There are entire scenes where it doesn't look like anything is happening and we sit and look at a vacant scene for several seconds on end. Thankfully the title was eventually released in its correct aspect ratio of 2.35:1.
Some copies of sides 1 and 2 have been know to exhibit 20 Frame Skip. 10,000 Frame Shift has been noted on some masterings of side 4. Some masterings of side 3 use orange oval spiral bumpers, rather than the typical circle bumpers.
