Canada Jackie Brown

I've got two questions about the CA release of Jackie Brown ...

1. Is this the same transfer and audio as the US release?

2. Does this come with a slipcover?

Thanks!

Whoa, that's awesome! The US release is a plain old Amaray. If you get a chance, would you mind posting a pic of it when you get it?

The data on the disc is the same as the US release, so video, audio, extras, etc. all the same

The only difference I know of is that the Alliance release has 5.1 DTS-HD Audio and 2.0 Dolby Digital Quebecois French ONLY.

And ONLY English and French subs

Also, both Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown come with bonus DVDs as well.

Thanks for the info. I saw the pics on the other thread and the slipbox packaging looks really nice, so if the transfer and DTS-HD mix is the same, I'm gonna order it from Amazon.ca.

Thanks again for the info guys! CA Rocks!

There is French on the spine, front and rear covers and both discs... if that makes any difference

I know some Americans HATE this to the point that they hold out indefinitely on Canadian-exclusive releases like A Hard Day's Night or Blade

EDIT: Forgot we're talking about Jackie Brown, not Pulp Fiction

There's no French on the cover, spine or discs because you can't really translate "Jackie Brown," but the synopsis on the back is bilingual.

lol

CA is California and it drives a lot of Canadians (or maybe just me) bonkers when Americans use it to refer to Canada as well

Are you sure? From the pics it looks like all English and that Pulp Fiction is the release that got the bi-lingual packaging.

I don't mind French text, though. It just reminds me that its a Canadian import and is thus a little bit cooler than a standard US release (I've got tons of CA SteelBooks with bi-lingual spines).
