I'd not heartily recommend either the German or UK versions. Eventually there'll be a US release, and I would hope that there's enough consumer pressure from fans, and a big enough potential market, to ensure that it gets the treatment it deserves.

If you forced me to pick, I'd go for the (2.0) UK version, but only because I find lipsync problems incredibly distracting!

I didn't notice a lip sync problem and I'm pretty sensitive to that. I bought it about 4-6 months ago, came in a super-jewel case.

The R2UK and R4 versions are not the same I don't think. The R2UK is barebones, while there's about 40 mins of extras on the R4. I picked my R4 up for $A19.95 ($US11.50) at my local Sanity (normally rip-off merchants). Try www.totaldvd.com.au or www.planetdvd.com.au for good prices.

FYI, while I've never seen this film, I did just buy the Japanese laserdisc from Playback Trading (www.playbacktrading.com). It was $25.00, which is a great price. Beautiful packaging - high quality Japanese gatefold jacket. From what I hear, the transfer is pretty good (it's OAR). There's also a few trailers included as well.

I'm fairly certain they have a few copies left. According to their on-line store it is still in-stock.

Did Universal buy USA films? If so, should we be expecting an eventual release from them?

Impatiently waiting...

in australia here - just rented the r4 version. The picture quality varies between quite good and lousy VHS quality. Soundtrack is DD2.0 i believe. Also, as someone mentioned there are 40 mins of behind the scenes footage, broken up into 4 sections. for further info you may wanna go to www.michaeldvd.com.au and search for the full review...

Just want to add that Lawrence Davis returned an email to me saying he thought the autralian DVD looked like the UK version. Mr Davis had posted on the first page of this thread and has bought most of the different LH DVDs.

Lord, how time flies.

Anyway, according to dugpa, Universal is looking for a first half 2004 release for this long overdue film.



You talkin' to me?

Excellent news! Thanks for the head's up. I hope the NBC deal doesn't affect any of Universal's DVD plans.
