I'm sharing this version as well, for a while at least.

Thanks, aliceclub. We had the Laserdisc-version before (go to page 12).

My 1080p version of the German TV recording is the best version you can get, and it's also uncroppped.

The 720p MKV file is one of ghost's earlier processed remuxes. The original unaltered video source is the MPEG file from the same May 10, 2020 post:

Although in the most recent (uncropped) 1080p enhanced version, I do believe that the final shot of the film and the full English end credits are enhanced from another source, probably the laserdisc.

The source was the old German TV broadcast in MPEG2 format. The end credits were taken from the official DVD.

And yes, AI is getting better and better. Just comapre the first versions of Topaz with the recent one.

I knew there was something different because the German TV version cut off the end credits, and the 1080p upgrade was de-logoed until the final scene which was "clean."

Did the DVD suddenly switch to 4:3 uncropped full-frame for the final scene and end credits? I admit to some laziness here, because it is easier to ask than to unbury my DVD copy.

(The funny thing is, my VHS copy is completely unhidden and just one foot away from my hand if I stretch it out!)

Simple answer: No, I just cropped the DVD ending to 4:3 to fit in the rest of the movie...

After taking the Laserdisc into OBS and playing with the settings I was able to confirm the LV8940 is uncensored, the screen was cutting off certain scenes on 4:3 with a modern television monitor.
