Yes, I had the secound one but it was cheaper to buy the set than the other 2 because Rise of The Lycans when it first came out was $30 and the first was $20 so I just bought the set for $30 at Walmart.

Play sells this for £17.99 with free worldwide shipping, and at that price it's worth buying just to see Kate and Rhona in those skin-tight clothes...

Except that the UK discs for parts one and two are shite...

after reading more it appears this is correct only dts 5.1 on the first two no English: PCM 5.1 like the US RLS.
bet better off just getting blu ray editions from the US

is the picture the same or is that differnet too

IMO the UK release of the first Underworld wasn't taken from a proper HD source. It is woefully lacking in detail, something which the US release certainly isn't. Even the German HD DVD kicks the crap out of the UK disc.

The second disc is slightly better, but again, no lossless audio.

Part 3 is fine, although it drops a number of features from the US release. If you are looking for a Region B version of Rise Of The Lycans, I would advise on picking up the Australian or Netherlands release, both issued by Sony and both seem to mirror the US disc for extras, etc.

I've spent quite a bit of money on these silly movies, trying to get decent versions.

Also, there is a French Version that has all the movies encoded in AVC with English DTS-HD MA 5.1. The extras are PAL though and no English subs (for the parts where another language is used).
