Joysales looks cropped on top and on the left side to me.

There's an additional hole in Joy Sales wall

Thanks for the comparison. This film is on my shopping list.

Don't forget Joy Sales is PAL-NTSC, New is genuine PAL

@Salty (or anybody else):
How's the film?
HK Vidéo released this a while ago over here, but I wasn't impressed by the trailer.

Can't say I'm impressed with either image.

Joy Sales looks better in still form to my eye, but I'm going for German for proper PAL. When I can afford it, that is...

NEW looks easily better:

No defects on image (black spot).
Less print damage.
Not overexposed.
Less cropped.
Better colours.
Genuine PAL.

Sure, neither option looks brilliant, but Joy Sales just looks piss poor (the impression that it looks "better" comes from the contrast boosting). Shame as it has an excellent translation.

It would be brilliant if it was remastered altogether, or at least an English-subtitled edition of the German release.
