This is also coming out in the UK by Anchor Bay, but I've heard from a reliable source that it's potentially an upscale, rather than a proper HD master.

Specs and artwork on the way...
Anchor Bay told me it was proper HD.

I'll still plump for the German disc, however

Be very careful with German discs. Their DVDs and BRs are rarely any good. Usually badly cut and have poor sound mixing.
I've got the Austrian XT Video DVD release of the unrated version of this title, which also includes the workprint.

Bu this time the workprint isn't made out of a copy of a VHS copy of a VHS copy of VHS copy: it's transfered from Goldblatt's own Beta tape of this workprint cut (which isn't his "directors cut" by the way, the unrated one is)...

I'd assumed the workprint would be based on the same VHS source (based on a misreading of the phrase 'original tape'). This is sounding even more interesting.
a lot of the footage is less than essential.

It's even less essential then a flushed turd.

It's not totally worthless... I have a lot of reverence for Punisher '89... I'm an avid comic fan, Punisher is possibly my favorite character, and despite the fact that there are liberties with the origin and the costume, there are plot themes and character elements that are far truer to the spirit of the books and the character than Punisher '04 and War Zone... abominations.
