Dead Men Dont Wear Plaid - Blu-ray Forum

BlurayBascom · 02-23-2015, 11:48 PM

I'm thrilled to share that I'm enjoying another one of my favorite films from the 1980's on Blu-Ray....thanks to the country of ITALY!

DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID. Being the serious and impatient movie lover I am, I'll go to great lengths to obtain my favorite movies on the greatest format ever! I know the U.S. will probably finally get around to releasing it eventually...and that's fine! I'll keep and continue watching & enjoying my REGION B copy from ITALY and "upgrade" later after the U.S. finally gets around to releasing it here!

Congrats and will be looking for a review on the picture and sound quality of this BD.

Actually rkolinski, the movie was purposely filmed in black & white, but despite no color, the picture & sound is definitely Blu-Ray quality and worth the extra effort to obtain for any other movie buffs as "desperate" as I to own they're favorite movies on Blu-Ray!

Great movie, for sure. Is the audio lossless surround, or stereo?
How would you rate the PQ from 5/5?

I haven't noticed any loss of audio whatsoever with the disc/presentation. However, the audio options on the disc are: Italian 5.0 and 2.0-while the english spoken version is only available in 2.0! The film was produced back in 1982, so surround sound still wasn't the huge thing it is today! I'm just thrilled to death to OWN this classic on BLU-RAY!!!

Is the English soundtrack really just Dolby Digital 2.0? If so, that's not sufficent for me, but I am happy for you. (It says so here:

Also, I had no idea this was a Rob Reiner movie. Quite versatile that man.

Such a fun film and even if I didnt like it glad you were able to source it from another country it seems I do that a lot as some old favourites don't get released in Australia

You something I dislike if I can hijack this thread it that when you go to a store and ask for a lesser well known movie they look at you as if you are speaking a foreign language yet mention big budget action blockbuster and they have a million copies

That's not what "lossless" audio means. He's asking if the English track is LPCM, Dolby TrueHD, or DTS-HD Master Audio versus Dolby Digital.
