The Superbit List (2 Viewers)

[Peter Svensson]

Hi-Bit (Full Rate DTS & HD Telecine):
Anaconda (Jpn)
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (Jpn)
Quick & The Dead, The (Jpn)

Neither of these editions are Superbits.

Update:
Removed Hi-Bits
Added French and Dutch Releases
Moved Fifth Element (Aus) to Questionable

I kept them there because I consider them a kind of "Superbit Extreme" but others are right they are not actually Superbit at all.

 

[Peter Svensson]

The French Superbits are a little strange because they have Superbits with both French (translated) titles and English (original) titles. The Fifth Element is an example.

 

[RobD]

Interesting, One Disc but two possible packages?

Does French Fifth element suffer from the same obvious image problems as the Australian one?

 

[Peter Svensson]

I think PQ looks fine, but DVDBeaver claims that the French print is worse than the R1 Columbia print. The packing is nice too, a transparent slipcase and a silver digipack with a neon purple disc.

 

[Charlie O.]

Leon (US) should be questionable because of the bass on the DTS track. Does anyone know if the Underworld Superbit is R or unrated?

 

[RobD]

Alot of places are reporting it as R rated, I guess thats right.

RobD: You probably could remove the Japanese Superbit of Taxi Driver. I heard from CDJAPAN today that this item have been cancelled, probably for good.

 

[RobD]

Thanks Peter.

Update:
Remove Taxi Driver (Jap) Due to Cancellation

 

[Peter Svensson]

Rob: You can add The Guns Of Navarone, Gandhi and Bridge On The River Kwai as Japanese Superbits.

Does anyone know if Gandhi and Bridge On The River Kwai will be released on R1 or R3? The Guns Of Navarone have already been released on R1.

 

[RobD]

Update:
Added Guns Of Navarone (Jpn)
Added Ghandi (Jpn)
Added Bridge On The River Kwai (Jpn)

Thanks again Peter. Ive not seen either of those titles on R1 or 3 yet, on a vaguely related side note, I was impressed with the HiBit Frankenstein release.

 

[greg_t]

I'll be going for the Bridge on the River Kwai superbit.

 

[Peter Svensson]

Rob: Sorry, my bad.

 

[RobD]

Peter,

Do you have a link for Crying Game SB?

 

[Peter Svensson]

Sorry Rob, I read the info to quickly. There is no "The Crying Game" Superbit, it´s just a SE with DTS sound.

 

[Peter Svensson]

RobD: First I can´t find the Les Miserables R1 in the list, second there are two new Superbits in Japan:

On The Waterfront
A Man For All Seasons

Maybe you should change "The One" to "One, The" and list it under "O" instead of "T"?

 

[RobD]

Thanks for the update and reminder Peter

Update:
Added Les Miserables (US)
Added On The Waterfront (Jpn)
