OVERALL: Draw

Between the R2/4 editions by Columbia, since they all offer the movie in its original aspect ratio, but without anamorphic enhancement.

Note the Dutch release is reportedly Anamorphic, and should be the overall winner but it could be a cropped version of a pan and scan 1.33:1 version (TBC).

Also note, the US disc is open-matte, as are presumably the Japanese and UK MIA editions.


A comparison between the US and French discs is available on DevilDead.
