Does anybody have the Australian or French BD of "The Deer Hunter" yet? - Blu-ray Forum

I didn't even know this was out ANYWHERE on Blu-ray yet, but apparently there at least an Australian disc and a French disc already out. Does anyvody have them? If so, could you say a little about the release (PQ/AQ/Region Coding/Extras)?

Yes I have it and posted a thread about it a while back.

Its a Studio Canal release and looks like a direct port of the HD-DVD. No extras on it just the movie.

Region A+B on it, DTS-HDMA sound.

Picture is pretty good actually but there is a bit of grain.

Check the screenshot thread, I just posted some screenshots of it in there.

Do you have the French release?

No the Aussie one.

I thought the HD DVD had a lot of extras on it?

I have the Studio Canal pressing (cheaper then the Universal Blu-Ray), which is region A & B, PQ as I've stated before is very good but there is a bit of dirt present, AQ is good but needs more bass, the extras are a documentary in French (english subtitles) about the US invasion of Vietnam, Trailers, a very scary looking Mickey Rourke who talks about his own experience watching the film plus an interview with the director (these weren't included on the Universal UK-AUS Blu-Ray release) Hope this helps.
BTW the Elephant Man transfer is shocking.

I own the mexican BD which is identical to the australian and french releases.

As I've already said in another thread, the PQ is very good, while the AQ (DTS-HD MA 5.1 and DTS 2.0) is just fair.
