Story Synopsis:
Director John Carpenter’s Memoirs Of An Invisible Man is a comedic thriller which finds a manic Chevy Chase invisible as the result of a freak nuclear accident at a high-tech facility. In his quest to avoid capture by his devious CIA adversaries who want to exploit his misfortune, he turns to the lovely Daryl Hannah for help and romances her in a way she’s never “seen” before. The situations have inherently funny elements and the special effects by LucasArts Industrial Light and Magic are amazing in their illusion of three dimensional invisibleness achieved with a process of backside animated matte painting.
LaserDisc Picture:
The film is presented in Panavision’s® 2.35:1 aspect ratio. The digital video transfer is sharp with topnotch color fidelity. This picture really looks good with its dynamic contrasts and shadow detail.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The dynamic and aggressive Dolby Surround® soundfield is impressive as is the cohesive mix of the soundtrack elements. This LaserDisc will not disappoint.
