Title: Weak but funny movie, terrible DVD
Review: I agree with those who say that this movie, while stupid, is still funny. No one, though, has said how truly bad this DVD is. I have about 150 in my collection, and "1941" is one of the worst for video quality. The print is murky and scratched. Colors are faded. It almost looks as bad as a VHS tapes; in some ways it's worse. On VHS, at least there is the excuse of that being why the quality is bad. On DVD, Universal has only itself to blame. Others in the Universal "Collectors Series", like "Dante's Peak" and "Apollo 13" have been great examples of what DVD can do. I know that "1941" was delayed a couple of times due to production problems. It probably should have been canceled, or at least held up until a full digital restoration could be completed.
