The adventures of Ford Fairlane - Only in Norway (1 Viewer)

[Bjorn Olav Nyberg]

As I know there are a fan or two of Ford fairlane on the forum, I will post this, even though it is strictly a Norwegian release. Ford fairlane is coming on DVD in Norway. Na na na na na na.
Sorry, I had to get the last bit out of my system...

Not much extras, only the movie in anamorphic widescreen and Dolby digital 2.0 surround sound with a trailer.
Some Norwegian DVD's have forced subtitles, but at least they are not dubbed, especially when they can argue that the release is exclusive or early, so I think it's a safe bet there will be forced, player generated subtitles, although there are no words on other languages.

"...player generated subtitles... "

...there ain't no such animal!... a DVD player doesn't 'generate' anything,
it simply 'reads' whatever 'bitstreams' are encoded on the DVD (be it movie, trailer, behind-the-scenes featurette, different soundtracks [PCM stereo, MPEG multi-channel, DD 2.0, DD 5.1, dts, etc.], subtitles [in different languages], whatever)...

. . . Q.E.D. . . .

Hate to rain on anyone's parade, but it's on the schedule to come out at about the same time in R4 as well...

Oh well... bring on the rain, I deserve it
I thought it was strange that this should be an exclusive in Norway only, but it said so on the web site, and I believe anything I read on the web.

My sincere sympathies to my fellow HT brothers/sisters in Norway and Australia/New Zealand. Maybe they will cancel this title and you'll be able to spend your money on something from America that we're proud of.
