Quantum Leap: Ultimate Collection (R2) - Blu-ray Forum

Moviefan2k4 · 04-11-2015, 03:43 AM

I've seen lots of pictures for this set, but no in-depth reviews. For those who own this, I have a few questions...

1) How much of the original music was replaced, if any?
2) Have the recycled "leap-outs" been fixed from the original U.S. release?
3) What's the picture and sound quality like overall? I know its not hi-def, but did they use the same source as the R1 versions?

Thanks for your time!

So, no one here has this set...seriously? With all the import fans on the boards, I thoughts some of you would be able to answer a few questions. Anyone?

I don't have it but I'm wanting to know the same as you.
Also is it CC or SDH? That's my priority buying point. If it doesn't have subs in English I don't buy.

Closed Captioning is not something I usually see on UK discs. Pretty sure its subtitled but not on all seasons
I originally bought the US sets but when I discovered that the UK sets had the correct music for one or two seasons that the US didn't I changed over - also to get away from the dvd-18 that the US releases had.

I only have the individual seasons not the boxset but unlikely to be any different.

Here's a place to check , this shows the 3rd season has original music on the UK.

Seems likely that the UK sets didn't use the same source as the US one as the music is correct . Don't know of any "leap out" changes you mention.
Picture quality is as good as SD gets

From memory the only music that was changed for the UK release was some of the songs in the season 4 set. The rest are unedited.

As for subs - season 1 has English SDH, the other seasons have nothing.

Think it might be season five but I'm sure at least one season of the UK sets has the same music cuts as the US version

It's season 4.

Seasons 1&5 were not changed for either the US or UK. 2&3 were changed for the US but not the UK. Season 4 had changes on both the US and UK sets.

Well thanks....
No subs or CC = no buy for me.
Hopefully sooner rather than later studios will realize they're losing part of the market when they release DVD/BD without subtitles or CC. I'm Not deaf but have profound hearing loss.

Not all 5 seasons but some of the seasons do have subs. Seems odd for some to have them and some not

The actual ongoing storyarc/narrative of this show just sort of ended, didn't it? I mean, Sam Beckett never returned home as was effectively lost in limbo, like the show's creators wanted to revive the franchise at some point?

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the last episode did try to answer some questions (such as what happened to Al), but I don't think it closed the storyline for Sam Beckett. Not sure because its been such a long time. I think the series is on Netflix so I may revisit it. (Hope that wasn't any kind of a spoiler)

They were talking about making a feature film at some point after the show was over. But it was after Dennis Wolfberg had died...

The original airing of the last episode's finale was a simple "leap to black", with text saying Sam never went back home. Later, a tape was leaked of the alternate ending, showing a photo of Al with Beth and their four daughters. Bellasario tried to get multiple revivals off the ground, but none ever made it to shooting. Fans even clamored for a spinoff, revolving around the adventures of Sammy Jo Fuller from the "Trilogy" storyline...but that never happened, either.

Sheesh, thanks, I don't need to watch it now you gave me the ending :/

thatguamguy · 03-07-2017, 07:44 PM

It's not a serialized show, so knowing that shouldn't have any impact on viewing any other episode.

For that matter, if you now believe that the end of the show is that Sam Beckett is "lost in limbo" forever, that's not even particularly accurate, so you're fine.

Sorry that the ending of a show that ended 24 years ago was "spoiled" for you.

I was going to go see Titanic once, until someone spoiled the ending for me. I mean,
