  . it was the first laser disk in my area out on AC-3 (nka Dolby Digital 5.1)! God, that brings back memories, sitting in the store listing with awe to separate channels of surround.

    Yes, because of the larger real estate on a laserdisc, the Dolby Digital 5.1 sound is better than its DVD counterpart. The problem is that most pre-amp/processors lack the requred RF demodulator to properly decode the LD's DD track. So I make do with DTS Neo Six, which simulates 6.1 channels from stereo.

  This film was part of what I like to call "Disasters, Part II." Part one was Airplane, Earthquake, Poseidon Adventure, et al. Part two is Outbreak, Volcano, et al. At the least the former had some campy schlock value. Outbreak was probably not the worst, but certainly not the best.
