That would make sense.

And to top it all off they simply cut Lieberman's footage out of the doc and then left the rest of it out of sync? Christ, why even release movies when you don't even really give a sh*t?? If I were Lieberman I'd be f*cking pissed too.

Really wish I grabbed that 88Films edition of Just Before Dawn. It looks bettter than this for sure. What a mess.

Based on the caps it looks like the new Code Red is about on par with the 88 films detail wise but has better color. More detail than the older Code Red Blu-ray. Extended version cleaned up. 2019 Code Red looks to have best overall A/V quality for main features regardless of space used.

Regarding the extras, I don't care about those but I can see those that do not being the most pleased.
