METROPOLIS - 1998 Madacy (Hollywood Classics) Edition

The following are screenshots from one of the first DVDs of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, from Madacy Entertainment from 1998, It wasn't much but it was better than nothing, the music was ill fitting and could the film be any more off center, and what really baffles me is that Madacy repackaged this version more times than I can count, the print is derived from a 16mm reduction print from Thunderbird films, that is decent enough for low quality VHS but not good enough for high quality DVD. I usually don't cover DVDs, but I felt this one was worth mentioning since, again, it is one of a handful of Metropolis from Madacy, other variants found in next entry.
