Restoration process details

The movie is now available on 4K UHD Blu-ray thirty-two years after its original release. Jordan stated that scanning the film frame by frame allows them to restore it to the way they originally shot it.

Bonus features included

The new edition includes never-before-seen deleted scenes and two special features discussing cinematography and set design. One feature showcases the detailed sets, augmented locations, and costumes used during production.

Jordan on past viewing

The director noted that he last saw the film on the 25th anniversary when visibility was poor due to degraded prints or low lighting. He expressed gladness that the restoration exists so audiences can see the movie as intended.
