Dead Bang (1989) [658]Jacket presents Don Johnson holding a rifle with the text in cursive: "For one cop this isn't just a case. It's a war."
The title says it all, it is an action movie and doesn't need any more explanation.
Program content: Lorimar Film Entertainment Company 1989.
Artwork & Design: Warner Bros. Inc.
Disc manufacturer: Pioneer Video Inc., by license under several pending patents.
The copy was dirty when I received it and I gave it a good clean with Novus products to restore the shiny finish of this beauty.
The film is presented in the aspect ratio of 1.33:1 with Dolby surround and delivers a sharp and sturdy picture with vibrant colors. I bet this release is one of the few reference quality movies I can relate to in my collection. Though the laserdisc player used is mediocre at most, the playback gives an impression what the format is capable of.
Equipment used: Pioneer DVL-909, Panasonic TH50PZ800.
I have rated this release based on the products artwork & design, picture and sound quality.
Artwork & design (jacket - inner sleeve): 3 out of 5
- Typical old Warner release with printed inner sleeve.
Picture: 5 out of 5
Sound: 4 out of 5
- Nothing really special about the sound quality, but it delivers quite good!
