This DVD-R edition has likely been mastered from a VHS videotape copy duped from a 16mm reduction print (as can be assumed from the image quality of the publisher-provided smeary still frame above).

The film is likely accompanied by a soundtrack compiled from preexisting music sources.

Not recommended, but this is the only DVD home video edition of the film that we know of. Take a look at the publisher-provided still frame and then look at the cost of this disc. Ask yourself if you would be happy with this ripoff in your collection. We will wait for a legitimate home video edition of this film, thank you very much.
