Yup and nope.

Dave Mack · Mar 4, 2004

hmmm..... 1 of my faves, I'm region free. Wonder how much of an improvement this will be...?

Mark_Wilson · Mar 5, 2004

This was supposed to be out already but has been delayed for some reason.

Peter Svensson · Mar 5, 2004

It comes out on the 6th of June. It probabaly won´t come out on R1, but it´s not impossible.

Marty Lockstead · Mar 24, 2004

Wow, thanks for that link Dave! It's one of my favourite films of all time as well. Has June 6th been confirmed as the release date? The last time I checked the site, it still said "undetermined".

Peter Svensson · Mar 25, 2004

Well, I think it was Dvdfile that listed the 6th of June, but now when I checked another site they had December this year as the releasedate. So I guess the releasedate is still undetermined. Hopefully it will get released this year. It will probably sell out rather quickly so you will have to keep a sharp lookout for this release.

44 BUCKS!!!!

Welcome to Japanese DVD prices.

I'm guessing you weren't a laserdisc buyer.

RobD · Mar 25, 2004

I was an LD collector. That price seems reasonable as long as the quality is a noticeable step up and those JP superbit covers are sooo preeetty.

Marty Lockstead · Mar 25, 2004

It's just too bad that the last 20 mins or so will still look rough because the MPAA forced the filmmakers to de-saturate the color of red from the blood during the finale.
According to Michael Chapman (the Director of Photography) they tried to find the originol elements for a laserdisc transfer back in 1996, but they had since deteriorated. This according to the documentary from the R1 version. A dts track on this film sounds quite enticing however, regardless of what they can do with the transfer.

Anyone receive their copy yet, any reviews surfaced?

Are the Japanese SB victims of PAL speed-up btw?

I need to get more details and specs concerning pq!!

Ike · Jul 3, 2005

I haven't seen this particular DVD, but Japan is NTSC.

Mark_TS · Jul 3, 2005

Both HMV.ja and Amazon.ja list it as "available to ship within 24 hours"

One said june 5 the other said June 22- so either way-

and yes-Japan is R2 NTSC....

MarcoBiscotti · Jul 3, 2005

Thanks, I thought only R3 Korean discs were NTSC, good to know!

Dave Mack · Jul 24, 2005

Someone get it and compare!!!

Dave Mack · Aug 10, 2005

anyone?

greg_t · Aug 11, 2005

I nominate you

Dave Mack · Aug 11, 2005

dang!

Oh well. It IS one of my faves. A desert island disc.

And I can't even sell the old one to offset the $ because of the nifty doc.
