I hope it's not got Fast and Furious 5 on the cover, I'd be pissed if they did. I was pissed off that they still tagged on the title Fast Five to the opening of the film over here. To cheap to change the title card of your damn movie Universal, then don't change it less than a month before the fudgin' release date as a cheap marketing floy you idiots

I totally agree. Might have to change the inside art on this one

Just ordered this (and Hanna a couple of days ago)... Never ordered from the UK before. I hope they are region free, otherwise I will have a couple of Steelbooks to sell

Is there typically any difference between the version released in the US (aside from the label artwork)? Menus, options, etc...

Sweet...thanks. And the more I look at this cover, the more I prefer it...it has the Ford GT40 on the front unlike the German with a lame Charger.

Sorry but the UK's cover art is light years better than the German cover art. A Steelbook without the films title logo is just a waste and an incomplete cover art for its own good. Despite the fact the UK's cover is horizontal I still prefer the texture and colors their using.

And P.S Why does the title heading have "Rio Heist" in the title? It's just plain old Fast & Furious 5.

Wasn't going to bother with this but for less than 11 quid it's a steal.

(bet it doesn't get honoured now)

the front is okish, they should of kept the design vertical. the inside artwork is ok as well, that seems to be the standard for all of them but the back of it is shocking. its the charger from the german steelbook. just doesnt look right and doesnt flow when opened. really dissapointed about this release but ive always bought it and waiting for it to come.
