Fight Club, Hancock, Sex and the City

[Blu-Boy in BKK]

I'm about to put an order in for Hancock and Sex and the City Blu-ray Steelbooks from Amazon.de and would like to order Leon and Fight Club SB's, but am unsure as to whether these titles will be region locked to zone B. I know some French BD's will be region locked but unclear about German releases. My German 10,000 B.C. was region free but Rambo 4 was locked. Does anybody have any information??

well , it already depends on the studo releasing them, for instance so far none warner (of different regins as well) have been locked, whereas for example almost every fox ones are locked( escpt prixon break s 3, stargate continuum and deception if i m not wrong and there s no one more) plus you must know for region B releases if the original studio is really releasing the movie for the country where it ll be released, for example mr and mrs smithin french was not locked though it s afox movie because the one releasing it for french on blu ray was m6 video, so you can t always tell, better to wait and be sure first

I've placed an order for Hancock and I Am Legend Steelbooks from amazon.de also. Still it will be a better idea to wait until full specs are revealed.

Forgive me for asking but wouldn't the text on the back be in German this not able to read unless you are of course, German.

It is a Kinowelt release. I really do not have any idea whether it will be region locked or not.

Here are the specs:
Fight Club (Blu-ray Disc)

* Picture: 2,40:1, 1080/24P Full HD
* Audio: German, English (7.1 DTS-HD, 6.1 DTS-ES (Original Kinomischung), headphone-surround)
* Subtitles: German
* Extra features:
4 Audiocommentaries (Director, Actors, Writers, Designers)
Special Features (Interactive Filmversion, deleted and extended scenes, Storyboard-Film-comparisons), Behind the scenes (Produktion, Sfx, Featurettes), Promotion pack (probably trailers and TV spots)
Fight Club Online (BD-Live)

Another interessting release will be Dances with wolves:

German Title: Der mit dem Wolf tanzt (Blu-ray Disc)

* Picture: 1080/24p (Full HD)
* Audio: German, English (7.1 DTS HD)
* Subtitles: German
* Extra features:
Audiocommentary with Kevin Costner and producer Jim Wilson,
Audiocommentary with Dean Semler and Editor Neil Travis
HD-Trailer

There is no word on (both titles):
- the audio being Hi-res or HD MA
- if the subtitles will be forced.
- if it is region locked
- If the extra's are in PAL, NTSC or HD

German got a release of Sleepy Hollow with DTS Hi-res audio, which appeared to be very nice!

Now I'm worried about my TDK pre-order from amazon.de.

That surprises me. It is a Warner over there. Maybe, because it originally is a Newline title?

Hancock is not region coded. I hope you ordered it in time because by now it's no longer available and the cheapest on the marked place 46,50€...

Man that's weird.. In the US all Warner are code free. It seems they want you to order in your own country in Europe.. I checked the list mentioned above and found quite a few Warner titles that are region coded.
