The picture is sharper than the DVD and the Audio is DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. It is 1080i. It's not great but it's not as terrible as some 1080p releases. I bought it at K-Mart for $25 and thought it was worth it.
Cheers,
Carcuss.

Thanks for that. Think I'll give it a go.

Hi guys

Anyone confirm if there's extras to be had on the release?

A scan of the cover would be great.

Thanks!

The Driver · 09-18-2010, 07:29 AM

Ah, answered my own question http://www.futuregamez.net/movies/tw.../twohands.html and http://www.impulsegamer.com/bluraytwohands.html Zero.

Hmmm. Shame cos there's a few good releases in Europe for extras.

My UK disc has zilch.

The Driver · 11-12-2010, 03:08 AM

Well, I reckon this looks great for what it is. No extras really although I have the Magana DVD release coming which has interviews. There's also a couple of releases in Europe with interviews if that's your bag.

A solid transfer and I'm not sure where or who is going to improve it.

Bought from the excellent store: http://www.devoteddvd.com.au/shop/pr...ducts_id=53277

I love these some rarer releases.

Two Hands, 2016 Umbrella Entertainment release specs:

Codec: AVC
Resolution: 1080p/24
Running time: 1:33:34
Aspect ratio: 1.85:1
Audio: English DTS-HD MA 5.1
No subtitles
Region free (unlike the French disc which is region B locked)
BD25
No Special features

I compared it to the French disc I own, and they are identical (the Metropolitan Films logo is even present at the beginning of the film). The local disc has dropped the French language options, disc menu (there is no menu) and special features from the French disc though.

Thanks mate. Was almost certain it would be a 24fps transfer (unlike the previous PAL travesty... Why Dendy films? Why?), but it's great to have it confirmed. Been waiting for this for a while (nearly imported the French release

).
Great Aussie film. Bryan Brown deserved a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance as Pando (if it had been shopped out to the Academy that is).
Will pick up a copy tomorrow.
Would have got it already, but the JB I went to on my day off (on Wednesday) still didn't have it in store yet!
Pretty slack, as my local JB normally gets releases Monday arvo, the week of release... Would have been nice to watch it Friday night.

Thanks again.

Those Dendy BD's suck. So many of them are subpar 1080i, like In Bruges, etc. Then they still have the gall to charge full price for them. Ditto bloody Accent. The great Australian miserly approach yet again.

And Bryan Brown got an AFI if I remember correctly.

Re-issue coming on April 6 as #19 in the Sunburnt Screens series. Presumably from the new 4K restoration.

This one has been dying for some quality extras (and hopefully a director’s commentary) so I’ll gladly double-dip.

SubElement · 06-23-2023, 07:23 AM

Any have any info on if the Sunburt Screens re-release is a new master? Is it better?

Same master just a higher bitrate. They look just about identical.

Thank you.

Anamnesis · 06-23-2023, 08:28 AM

The other difference though is that the Dendy original release is 1080i 50hz.

Yes to clarify I was comparing the two Umbrella releases. Both are vastly superior to the Dendy.

Thanks for the info either way, I totally forgot the Dendy release even existed.
