The result is not the expected big slap, but a further step towards the ultimate nice big HD...

video : 4/6
audio : 4/6
bonus : 5/6

Wasn't the Studio Canal Euro version always superior to the US BD release, even the HD DVD? Are we sure the US BD re-release will be the same?

Ditched my old copy a few weeks ago. Waiting for this one. Hoping it's greatly improved, as it should be. Lionsgate does BD right when they want to. They also know how to eff a release up.

Good question

paulo33 · 06-19-2012, 09:56 AM

Since it's a new Director approved high-definition transfer, i suspect the same for all.

Screens look great. Hopefully a new Robocop disc isn't far behind!

I know that some of the EU SE DVDs (France, Scandinavia and the UK) apparently have an additional audio commentary with cinematographer Jost Vacano. Has anyone heard this one? Is it any good?

Audio Commentary with cinematographer Jost Vacano and Marko Kregel (in German with optional subtitles in English, Spanish or Portuguese)

Do you want to listen to a commentary that you have to read?

Haven't even gotten around to watching the last version yet as I was in no rush after reading a few reviews. Guess it gets tossed on the Ebay pile. Thanks for posting the review .... day 1 for me and not waiting to watch it this time.

I meant to post this in the UK thread.

And yes, I do.

It looks like it's on the 2010 cut FSK-16 German SteelBook BD only--it must have been lost with the fusion of Kinowelt into StudioCanal even though their logo is on the SE DVDs that have this commentary. I was wrong about the French versions having it.

EDIT: It looks like it may be on the new German BD (which is now uncut at FSK-16)! I pray it will still include English subtitles.

I hope the is better than the frist release

I think im gonna finally replace my "still looks like new" vhs copy of this movie with this edition. This has been one of my favorites since its release.

The old commentary by Arnold is absolutely hilarious. Everybody should listen to his commentary - he literally gives a play-by-play of the events as they are happening. I think somebody should have explained to him what the purpose of a commentary was for. He literally narrates the film for us. Pure gold.

You could trade the old one in anywhere for $5

I picked up the original release for $5 at least 2 years ago. When the "Mind Bending Edition" comes out, I'll trade it in, get my $5 back, and upgrade.

But at least I've been able to watch a release of Total Recall that looks and sounds better than the DVD.
