It was one of my fav's too. I bought the HD-DVD when it came out a few years ago (hu, already 'years' ago), and it was a marked improvement over the DVD, but unfortunately, you can only do so much with early 80's special effects and bad acting. Still a fun movie though. I'd really like to see it re-made, well, tastefully re-made anyway. Sometimes the original is best left alone - Conan comes to mind.
