Pulp Fiction

[Mike7300]

Is pulp fiction on blu ray yet? how about anchorman, scarface?

There's a Region A release from Hong Kong. Supposedly it's good quality. I have the French Region B release of the movie.

The Polish release is excellent.

Here's a review from DVD Beaver.

I went with the HK release as it appear to be a direct port from the TF1 French release except no forced subs and the HK release has English subs. I originally had the Scadavian release but sold it since I wanted English subs. The HK release is fairly inexpensive, $25 shipped from DDDhouse the last time I checked.

The Danish release has an English soundtrack. No need for subs.

English is not my significant other's primary language so I prefer to have English subs on movies I buy. All Pulp Fiction BD releases so far have English track but only the HK release has English subs.

For the HK release, is the movie in English or is there just English subtitles?

Ok good, thanks. Because I was thinking about getting it, but never know how the imported movies work. The only ones I've ever gotten so far are from the UK

It has become common practice in many non-English speaking countries to include the original English language along with a local dub track. This began years ago after DVDs became the popular home media format and this was possible.

Some smaller countries may offer low priced/budget DVD releases that only offer a local dub but this has not yet extended to Blu-ray Disc.

Unfortunately in Russia there are BD releases without original track.

I would imagine they are bootlegs.

Mike--pulp fiction is a Miramax title currently owned by Disney.
they are now trying to sell Miramax so no release has come out in NA, and none should be expected anytime soon.
thus, importing is the only way, but luckily there are plenty of good versions.
I have the Scandinavian release which is excellent also.

what is the AQ & PQ like on the imports, is one of them better than the other? I'll be importing this just want to get the right one.

I have the Danish version and the Polish version. The polish version does have english subtitles, but not the Danish one. Also, the Polish version looks better than the Danish version IMO. Better color temps and sightly more details.

On the other hand, the sound is better on the Danish version, we can hear more backgroup stuff more clearly, for exemple when Vicent and Jules walk in the building, just before they go kill Brett, we can hear a dog barking, and music playing in the apartments. It's harder to notice those details on the Polish version as well as on the US DVD.

check that and that

The Hong Kong blu-ray looks and sounds fantastic. You can get it on sale from dddhouse.com for about $20: http://www.dddhouse.com/v3/product_d...roductID=10561.

[Majestyk]

Are you guys sure the HK is the better one? According to this thread the Polish version is better:

https://forum.blu-ray.com/blu-ray-mo...ion-get-2.html

And according to this screen cap comparison, the Polish version looks better than the French version, which everyone says has the same PQ as the HK.

get either the Polish one or the Scandinavian version and you'll be good to go.
avoid the French one.

[pentatonic]

I have the polish one and couldn't be happier, but the HK at $21 is a great price.
