*The Arrow BD uses an older, much-criticised, grain-scrubbed and slightly vertically squashed transfer. There is also an Australian BD from Umbrella Entertainment, which is a port of Arrow's disc.

Thanks Brent. Added.

[Brent_Reid]

Thanks Sam, although you'd better remove the restoration year (2016). Am unsure where I got that from, but I've just realised the Italian BD was released in 2011...

[Samuel_Scott]

Done.
