I'm having a first look at the material and I want to make sure we're on the same page...
-> Shout US release crops more but is far better in details (and colors)
-> Second Sight MGM UK Blu-Ray is less cropped but it looks like a very old transfer, I can see the same problems that Uncle Buck had, a lot of dirt, no fine grain.

Second Sight BR also looks way too yellow, I invite you to check out this shot where white walls, white helmets and white belts are anything but white.

Not even on TV/VHS they have ever been yellow as you can see here from my early 90's recording (ignore the line above, one of my VCRs has issues)

How do you want me to tackle this? I would say that if we can forgive a bit of cropping, the Shout release is a major improvement over the previous MGM releases but I want to hear your opinion.
