AFAIK the only blu-ray available worldwide. It looks pretty good tbh, there are some signs of EE and haloing, and some of the grain looks poorly replicated (blocky) in areas but overall it doesn't look too bad.

Watched it last night and I'd forgotten just how great this movie was!

Any word on IF the German versions of Wanda Nevada or KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE are better than the USA releases ?

I need specs for this before I add it.

[HD Goofnut]

Updated J.S.A. The KO release is the way to go for sure.

With that attitude, that's not likely to change.

Is the criteria bit rate or image quality? Those aren't necessarily related.

As far as i know every text, sms, etc. is translated to german, which may be kinda annoying for a lot of viewers.

Based on my scans, the Sony German Blu-ray actually sports slighly higher A/V bitrates, is cheaper, and more easily obtainable for international consumers.
