      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Also available in a newer, remastered edition from MGM.

    Story Synopsis:
    In the ravaged near future, a savage motorcycle gang rules the road. Terrorizing innocent civilians while tearing up the streets, the ruthless gang laughs in the face of a police force hell-bent on stopping them

    DVD Picture:
    The new anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 MGM DVD exhibits a clean, nicely defined picture when compared to this previously released non-anamorphic 2.40:1 DVD. This non-anamorphic Orion DVD picture looks dated with muddy colors and low contrast, soft images, and is riddled with artifacts, aliasing problems, and moir

    Soundtrack:
    The 2002 MGM DVD features a remastered Dolby

    Reason #111 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review provides reviews of the latest DVD releases and new video technologies. The widescreen reviews are concise, accurate, and dependable. Frequently, the magazine explains in detail about recent technology and why and how our latest gizmos work. I loved the articles on various display technologies - how they are different, how they work, and how they will replace CRTs in the near future. Widescreen Review has updated my video knowledge more than any other video rag.
