... aspect ratio?
Overcropped picture and over-stereofied artificial 5.1 sound.

For those worried about it being overcropped like AHDN (which isn't)...
Comparison between the 4x3 MPI DVD and the 1.66:1 new DVD (taken from the trailer on the site). While AHDN's 5.1 remix isn't great (it's obvious the restored mono track used as the base track is A+), both films are supposed to be at least 1.66:1. The original theatrical releases were 1.75:1, anyways.
