Story Synopsis:
Rick Gassco (Hanks) is getting married. So his buddies begin planning the celebration of his life in Bachelor Party. But his fiancée (Kitaen) is worried about their idea of a celebration, and cooks up her own plan to spy on the debauchery. What she and her friends encounter—sex hungry Japanese businessmen and a donkey on cocaine—just might keep the once happy couple from saying “I do.”
LaserDisc Picture:
The 1.85:1 picture is sharp and detailed, with vivid colors and natural fleshtones. Some scenes are too dark or overly contrasted. Shadow delineation is poor, and while there are virtually no artifacts, slight noise is apparent in the darker scenes.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is undistinguished monaural with a strident quality.
