Ivan Reitman's military comedy Stripes comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable in every way to the standard full-frame image unless one wants to relive the memories of watching the film endlessly on cable. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. Subtitles are accessible in both of those languages as well. Supplemental materials are limited to a theatrical trailer. This Columbia/TriStar release will appeal to fans of the film, but not enough was done with extras to make this as much of a collectible as it should be. |
