Story Synopsis:
Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in Jingle All The Way as Howard Langston, a father desperate to buy that must-have toy in a frantic last-minute shopping spree on Christmas Eve. Known for breaking promises to his young son Jamie, he vows to get Jamie a Turbo Man action figure—unaware that Turbo Man is the season’s hottest selling toy. Jingle All The Way is sure to please the youngsters, but laughs from mom and dad are likely to be scarce.
LaserDisc Picture:
The 1.82:1 picture exhibits excellent color fidelity with rich and warm colors, natural fleshtones and deep blacks. Images are slightly soft and wanting in sharpness and detail. Shadow detail and contrast are generally superb. There is the slightest veil of noise apparent in interior scenes, but there are no artifacts for a pleasing visual experience.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack has a terrific music score that is well recorded with a superb soundstage that images deep and wide. Dialogue is prominantly ADR-produced and wanting in spatail integration. Nevertheless, both the Dolby® Digital and PCM matrix soundtracks sound great and are sure to please.
