Although positively better looking than the Eclectic DVD, the French release sports the same, or - in some cases - worse damage, as you can see in the following examples:

Besides the usual dirt, scratches, and whatnot, I also spotted a strange artefact - better described by the examples below - appearing multiple times throughout the film, usually lasting the entire shot:

Another problem is that the transfer seems to have been taken from some kind of a field-based (i.e. not progressive) source, as evidenced by a very slight combing (not real interlacing, mind you), and a few odd interlaced frames here & there:

The last thing I thought I'd mention is an abrupt cut in the film's only topless scene (see below). It might be intentional, but who knows...?

The only thing worth mentioning about this despicable version is that some time after the 30th minute the audio gets out of sync with the video by about 1/2 a second!

To begin with, many thanks to Steve N. a.k.a. Squonkamatic @ The Latarnia Forums for making this comparison possible! (c:

Now, to cut it short, let's mercifully forget about the 2 American (bootleg?) editions, and focus on the European ones. To cut it even shorter:

Artus Films
+ anamorphic
+ better looking (at least to my eyes)
+ complete (I've no reason to think otherwise)
− not English-friendly

Raro Video
+ English-friendly

−	looking worse than the French version (there's also a greenish tinge to the picture)
−	missing a couple of snippets of footage here & there (refer to our gallery below & the print damage samples in the Artus Films review above)

− non-anamorphic

Bottom line:

If youDoNotNeedEnglishFriendliness ' ;-)
    BuyTheFrenchDVD()
Else
    BuyTheFrenchDVD() ' just for the visuals
