Story Synopsis:
In Bulletproof, small-time crook Archie Moses (Sandler) provides the brains and strong-arm Rock Keats (Wayans) supplies the muscle as two of the wildest partners-in-crime to hit the streets of Los Angeles. A botched police bust blows Keats’ identity as an undercover cop and he is nearly killed by an enraged Moses. But the two former pals reunite as partners-against-crime when the cop and the crook are forced to resume their partnership to nail druglord Frank Colton (Caan).
LaserDisc Picture:
The 2.35:1 picture exhibits excellent color fidelity, natural fleshtones, rich and warm colors and deep solid blacks. A solid presentation overall, images are sharp and detailed and there is no apparent noise or artifacts.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack has an aggressive and loud music score with deep boom bass. Surround envelopment is inconsistent, sometimes stereo, other times collapsing to mono. Dialogue fidelity is often muffled and wanting in intelligibility, though the ADR-production is generally spatially integrated into the scenes. Ambiant sound effects are sometimes presented in stereo with subtle surround envelopment.
