Notes:

Only available in "Stelle rosse 2: La fantascienza della Cecoslovacchia" 3-disc set,
together with "Late August at the Ozone Hotel," "Who Wants to Kill Jessie?"
& 16-page booklet (in Italian).

As I expected, Noshame's edition of "Icarus XB 1" is a direct port of the older Czech release, a fact making visual comparison superfluous (i.e. the screengrabs are bitwise identical). Thus, at the bottom of this page, you'll find only one set of screenshots representing both DVDs.

**with optional Italian subtitles

Notes:

This is a recording from STV 1's digital satellite broadcast.
Although it's cropped on both sides from the OAR 2.35:1 to 1.80:1,
it shows more information on the top & the bottom of the frame
than the otherwise flawless FEX disc.
