DOA: Dead or Alive - Why I am glad I can play Region B Blu-ray - Blu-ray Forum

xradman · 12-23-2008, 04:19 AM

I just got through DOA: Dead or Alive on Blu-ray courtesy of TF1 Video France. It's region locked to B, but what a fun popcorn flick. How can you not like beautiful women who kick a**? The story is improbable and borrows from Enter the Dragon as well as all those fighting games (like DOA in which this is loosely based). This disc like all TF1 Blu-rays I've seen uses forced French subtitles when you choose original English audio (in dts HD MA 5.1). However thanks to AnyDVD, I was able to watch this with subtitles turned off. The video is encoded in AVC. The disc is 25GB SL, but with the movie only being 84 minutes long, there's plenty of space for a high bitrate encode. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

I've heard too many bad things to want to see this, but how about the steelbook, could you post some pics of that?

This movie must be full of win in Blu-Ray. I want a proper version for the US. Hot chicks, FTW.

FYI, DOA is getting a Blu Canadian release on Feb 3rd. Chances are it will have no extras, but will be under $20.

Any chance of Canada getting a steelbook with the feb release?

I watched this today, it was a fun movie and ton of eye candy

This movie wasn't all that, but pretty enjoyable seeing DOA characters as real people.

Yup, Ryu Hayabusa was a total failure, though.
