Upgrade to 1080p, thanks to the folks
over at blizzardkid.
I noticed something while searching for this movie. Unlike usual, the full frame 4:3 ratio, rather than the widescreen, is the one with cropping. At least on some of the DVD releases. Perhaps this was how its release was initially intended, but this widescreen version has much more screen! Now, this is simply comparing between the WS and the full DVD that I downloaded, so that doesn't mean there's another uncropped DVD version out there.

You get the idea.
(what a difference!)
There is a 2.43gb version in 1080p, and a 8.75gb version in 1080p. Possibly the only difference is the audio, the larger one appears to be "Dolby AC3", the smaller regular "AC3". [edit: this incorrect notion is explained by Night and ghost in posts after this one.] Smaller version shared on emule below. And the 8.75gb version is available at the BK link via torrenting (rutracker and one other), and the one at rutracker is currently seeded.
Quote from above:
Attention. You can find virtually better copies, but with cut off upper and lower parts - ie. distorted material. Original is 4:3!
This often seems to be the case! However, it appears the full frame, this time, is the one that's cropped. I shouldn't be too surprised, as full frame cropping was a big thing well into the DVD era.

Oh yeah! I found subs at
opensubs here, and I machine translated them to English and did my best to sync them, no corrections this time. Subs
seem to be fine, however, the syncing process would not turn out perfectly no matter how much I tinkered with it. However, they mostly line up well enough from beginning to end. Some areas a tad too early, others a tad late. When I went to bring selected lines in earlier, others ended up too early. Then I found the beginning of that issues, and changed them back to later. Still, it's mostly adequate.
Original subs are at the link if someone else would like to give it a try, I am completely open to learning this better!
