OVERALL: Draw
- R1 Warner Bros is in the presumably original 1.78:1 aspect ratio with an Anamorphic transfer.
- R1 50th Anniversary Edition is in 1.66:1, it is also Anamorphic and has by far the best extras.
Note that R1 by Fox/Legend Films also has some extras, mainly an audio commentary, but it has been reported that this commentary is only "making fun" of the film, which is the style of the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" TV series.
