Pulp Fiction.... where to import from? - Blu-ray Forum

The Bread · 11-12-2010, 07:52 PM

Love this movie and am looking to buy it. I'm guessing it hasn't been released yet on blu-ray?

Not in the US. But in Europe, Australia and Asia. With some regional differences.

The Hong Kong release should be region A compatible, but as far as I know, all the various European releases as well as the Australian, is locked to region B.

I have the Hong Kong release. Works fine and looks/sounds great.

nope, Dutch and Polish releases are both region A friendly.

Yeah you're right. My bad. The Scandinavian and French are locked to B, though.

I have the Danish edition, which seems pretty good to me, but I'm wondering whether the Hong Kong one might be better. Has anyone compared them?

The Danish edition is bare-bones - does the Hong Kong edition have any extras?

I have the Danish and the Polish. The Polish looks a little bit better to me. But the difference is very very small, don't worry about it. (Polish is the same as the HK version)

Eldorado · 11-13-2010, 12:34 PM

I have the Polish version. PQ and AQ are excellent.

Germtop · 11-13-2010, 12:49 PM

I also have the Polish version and it looks outstanding. It's also region free.

The Blu Knight · 11-13-2010, 04:06 PM

The HK and Polish versions are apparently the same and look the best, but the former was issued with a slip, so HK all the way.

Flash78 · 11-13-2010, 04:20 PM

If you are going to buy it now and not wait for the US bd, go with the Polish one. As they say a few posts up the scandinavian version is locked to B.

Crimson King · 11-13-2010, 04:23 PM

This film is an American classic and yet us here in the US and A don't get a domestic blu release.

But soon one can get a blu copy of "Flipper" with Paul hogan, go figure...

monque · 11-13-2010, 04:44 PM

I own the HK Bluray and it loks amazing. Shame that there are no extras.

jmb1381 · 11-13-2010, 04:47 PM

I think HK version looks great!

Well, studio politics. PUlp Fiction is part of the Miramax studio collection. It was a subsidiary of Disney, which decided that the bulk of Miramax movies just didn't fit with their Disney "family" image and released very few on blu-ray. Disney recently sold Miramax, and the group which bought it say they're interested primarily in video on demand rights and will contract out any physical media (blu-ray/DVD) production. So, we may see a flood of Miramax blu-ray releases in 2011. Or, maybe not.

Patience is not one of my strong suits, and I bought Pulp Fiction well over a year ago. I have the French release, with excellent PQ & AQ and a beautiful Steelbook. But not only is is Region B 'locked', it has forced French subtitles when the English audio is selected. But with my Panasonic AE4000 projector, I have a pre-set that lowers the bottom of the picture to the bottom of the screen, which gets rid of the subs.
