I was pleased to see the original '70's Warner Bros logo (black on red with a double zoom effect) reinstated when they released the special edition of Enter the Dragon DVD. I always associated that logo with the musical drum cue and it never looked right with the shield logo. When I...

With Disney pop-ups, they can be removed (to appreciate the paused frame) by pressing the down arrow on your remote. Works with my Oppo 83.

UK reviews have already confirmed all 4 to be uncut and re-classified by BBFC.

Just picked up a copy of the Canadian release, which should be the same as US/domestic version, but I can't play the easter eggs as outlined above. I've tried right arrowing from all the options and all that happens is the menu collapses and highlights the BD-Live menu option. Has any one...

. !!!!! ?????? You've got to be kidding, right? I don't mean to be rude but do you find the declaration of your ignorance to be a cathartic activity? Of course, you could be replying in an ironic manner, in which case I'll keep a look-out for the irony emoticons next time I dip into this...

O Brother, Where Art Thou Apollo 13 (DD orig) Ocean's 11 (Clooney) Kentucky Fried Movie From the Earth to the Moon (orig set) Scary Movie Bad Boys S.E. Good, Bad & Ugly Enemy of the State All played perfectly when new, but months/years later showed varying degrees of dead-ness...

I'm with John on this one. Althought the 5.1 sound is a big winner, the way the concert has been filmed is a less engaging experience. DSOT has a more ethereal quality with some really moody slow-mo shots, including those misterious mobile lighting rigs that move around like mini motherships...

It amazes me how many times you see people admit they have huge collections and that some discs are still in the shrink wrap! Having encountered quite a few flawed discs (starting with the old LaserDisc days and continuing to today's DVDs), I wouldn't want to risk unwrapping a disk a few month...

MISSING COMMENTARY - UPDATE My supplier has just emailed to advise that my (Region 1)order has been cancelled because Warner Bros recalled the product: "This movie was initially released by Warner Home Video earlier this week. However, within a day or so they realised that the commentary...

RE-EDITED CRASH SEQUENCE I noticed that there's been some retrospective tinkering to the film which won the Oscar for editing. Check out the sequence where the Charger slides round a corner and smashes into the camera mounted on a parked white car:- On the original DVD and LaserDisc the...

Bob, The Canadian version (by Alliance) never included the Jack Rabbit Slim insert, whereas the USA version did (together with much more robust disc holders and 'complete' inner photo spread of QT and UT) A lot of online retailers stock Canadian versions of titles, which can be cheaper than...

At the risk of upsetting the purists - Any chance they'll fix the opening shot when the car detonates ? The cut from live action DeNiro to the dummy is pretty jarring - I'm sure this could have been morphed to create a seamless transition. If not at the time of release, it can certainly be...

Nice Work Charlie ! L . a . u . z . i . r . i . k . a Motion Picture Company This is exactly how a retrospective special edition should be put together (apart from that extra 3rd disc - pity I missed out on that!) Those Menu's set the scene nicely, super OAR presentation with DTS 6.1...

Issue with the trailer has been discussed in the other Top Gun thread - basically a licencing issue with the music that was used.

I've received this last weekend and have had a quick scan through these discs and could live without the meta functions - they seem a bit too gimmicy - I'd rather have a few documentaries. You have the option to playback the movies without this feature, and can view all the meta segments...

On the most recent release of the DVD, did anyone notice the "picture fuzzing" that was applied to the scenes in the diner - it looks like there was a period 'Coca cola' poster on the wall at the rear of the diner and electronic smudging has been applied to disguise it. The effect is pretty...

I did notice that the 'Scene Selections' screens are now just numbered and without a title for each scene as was originaly done on 'Shrek'. This is the way things are usually prepared for the Region 2 market. It seems the multi-lingual European users would get confused if the scene selections...

No problems with Disc 1, but I had major problems with Disc 2 side B. At ch3-4 transition (00:20:31), picture pixellates really badly, freezes, stutters etc. If you try skipping from ch3-4, it skips 4 and goes straight to 5. Using the play-all option shows the error at the same point (but...

I wonder if part of the delay is due to the video rights. I'm not sure of the details, but the original studio (Paramount?) got a bit jittery about the balooning budget and sought a partner (Warners?) to share the risk/costs. To sweeten the deal the new partner was given home video rights to...

Empire magazine (UK) has an article on the proposed R2 boxset and lists the disc contents as per the first post in this thread, however, they claim that it will not include an extended version of Reloaded.

Posts that contribute nothing: 'Awesome' 'Sweeeeeet' 'I'm gonna buy this' 'I'm all over this' (what, like a bad rash ????)

I had a quick skim through last night and this is a nice re-issue. The new digital transfer looks good and evidently there has been some cleanup (in the previous 25th anniversary edition, there was a huge grease pen mark where they'd restored the Lee/Monk scene in the temple - that's been...

Just got the E.R. Season 2 set and once again, these multidisc digipak hubs are a real pain in the neck. Pushing the hub where indicated fails to release the disc as it appears the two lower retaining tags don't want to let go. I need three hands to get these damn things out of the packaging...

I know that many critics in this and other forums have pooh-poohed the notion of faulty discs causing this problem, and suggest that it's down to poor storage or handling by the owner. I've had this happen with a number of discs and it's certainly not been due to being dirty. I am very...

While browsing >>unable to post url so try noblesgate and add co then uk !!

I rented the Region 2 version which included several deleted scenes amongst the extras. Having enjoyed the movie, I bought the Region 1 edition but was surprised to find that the deleted scenes were not as expected:- On the r1, only one scene is featured, showing several takes of The King...

Richard, I also ordered via playusa. The scan you linked to is different to the descriptive sheet attached to the back of the box -it makes no mention at all of the CD. You can just see the edge of what is probably the CD poking out from behind the card flap on the packshot. I see from...

I have the box-set, but the CD is missing. I also note that there is no insert/booklet included, so none of the individual disc chapters are listed. Seems a bit cheapskate considering how nicely the rest has been put together. I assumed that this would have been tucked inside the digipack...

I've dropped an email to Mi Casa enquiring whether their supplements will include the excellent 'Sound Studio' from the 1995 cd-rom 'Behind the Mask'. This had an interactive breakdown of the 'apartment tornado' sequence allowing each individual sound element to be played back against video of...

Hey guys, Thanks for the support. I'm only dipping into the thread every now and then, but it's proving to be very entertaining. Sorry my initial observations have caused such a major diversion. I'm a major fan of Enter the Dragon and am as keen to see it as the rest of you. I...
