Hey guys, I already have the UK release for this one. Does anyone know if this version is any different to that?

The video encode will be different (but the same master, presumably). The only meaningful difference is Umbrella's inclusion of the workprint edition with deleted scenes.

There's also the Spanish version from Amazon.es, which is regions A/B/C.

I'm sure that's a bootleg given how Spain is full of them, and because it's not locked to Region B.

That, and the distinct lack of any kind of reference to the disc's distributor on the cover.

Yeah, how many discs from Spain actually print the title of the movie on the spine starting from the bottom-up?

Does anyone know if the original cut of this movies film reels still exist because I think it would be a shame if all that remains of it is in a awful vhs tape state.

1) Since it wasn't the final cut, it's doubtful there is a conformed print. That workprint would've been chopped and changed on the Steenbeck. Most of the excised stuff would've just gone into the bin. Even if there was a full print, it would only be from dupes which are pretty rough and difficult to tidy up. See the extended cut of The Blues Brothers.

2) The o-neg of the excised scenes probably lives in a vault somewhere. However, the condition is a big question mark - it might have deteriorated if not stored properly. Restoring those scenes means going back to the o-neg, scanning it all in, cleaning it up, and actually editing everything. Very costly for a movie that not many people actually like.

I know but then again there are other films that have a small audience that get a really good treatment so who know but yeah your right.

What’s the likelihood of this being region free? Case says Region B, but a few US retailers
Have it listed as Region 0. If memory serves me right, I’ve got a few Umbrella titles that said they were B but ended up being able to work on Region A players.

It's likely to be region-free going by Umbrella's track record for the last few years. I can't even remember the last locked disc they released, probably the "Beyond Genres" reissue of Re-Animator and that was just a straight repress of the 2015 disc with different artwork. Pretty much all their back cover specs say B only and 99% of their discs in the last few years are region free so the back covers are definitely not reliable.

MovieMan5021 · 10-06-2021, 09:37 PM

Can anyone confirm that this truly is Region Free after all? I would really like to finally own this on Bluray.

BenjaminG · 10-07-2021, 03:52 AM

I'll have a copy shortly. I'll confirm

Confirming region B locked. Includes a complete raw transfer of the SD workprint, the theatrical trailer in SD and other extras. Unfortunately, the movie audio is only offered in DTS HD-MA 2.0 and not 5.1 from the previous UK BD

NLScavenger · 10-07-2021, 11:18 AM

iirc the 5.1 remix was of lower quality than the 2.0 Dolby Surround mix on UK BD.

Thanks for confirming. Will be looking to get a region free player. I have zero faith that BV will ever release this on Region A in the states.

Hey, if you can test for region coding, please update on the site.
