The Japanese versions of the Studio Ghibli movies are always the best. The price is what gets most people.

That's the only reason I don't own the Hong Kong version of The Last Samurai and the Japanese version of Terminator 2.

Samurai is $23 at dddhouse, not that bloody.

Review from this site confirms it: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-De.../36392/#Review

Deer Hunter

European releases- Superior transfer (14.99 Mbps), English DTS HD MA 5.1 is incorrectly pitched, 2.0 tracks are unaffected. ( A and B locked)

US- Lots of DNR and EE, 26.92 Mbps. (Region Free)

Another reason why U.K. Red Heat is better than U.S. release:

The U.S. release is incorrectly subtitled at 14:30. It reads "Well find him."

It should read "We'll find him." It is correct on the U.K. version.



Will the mods please sticky this thread already. Jeez!

Feels like removal of stuff like in Gladiator before the replacement discs. Debris and birds got washed. I find it curious how Spielberg can let this slide.
