DVD COMMENTS: Like the US dvd, this german release is also heavily cropped from the original 2.35:1 ratio. The framing seems to be almost exactly the same as in the dubbed version on the US disc. This German dvd however is anamorphic, progressive and a bit sharper. The German audio seemed clean (only briefly tested) but the english track is very muted with noticable hiss. I wouldn't be surprised if the US dvd had the same audio, but I can't be sure about that. Note that there are three different cover arts for the DE dvd, one of them beloging to a "limited edition". Content wise these dvds should be identical.
