Story Synopsis:
Assault On Precinct 13 is an action thriller that opens with a deadly police raid on young gang members caught in a weapons hold-up—but the assault weapons are never found. The escaping thugs, with the weapons in tow, blaze a trail of destruction, killing wantonly and finally following an escaped victim to the abandoned police precinct where they seek revenge.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture is presented in the Panavision® scope 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Picture quality is poor with significant grain and artifacts throughout. The darkly rendered visuals are almost entirely shot interior with poor shadow detail and inaccurate color and fleshtones.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is presented in undistinguished and poorly recorded monaural. Sound effects sound lifeless.
