Ipcress File

[HuggyBear73]

I was debating whether or not to purchase the Australian version of THE IPCRESS FILE (Michael Caine). I hear it's identical to the UK version which is now OOP. But I read a review saying that the Australian version had minor lip synch issues. Can someone confirm that? Thanks!

Giving this thread a minor bump. Got this one as part of a deal in Big W's recent sale. Keen to give it a spin. Never seen the film although I've always been interested in it.

I did a BDInfo scan and that confirmed that our disc is identical to the UK release which now appears to be unavailable from retailers. Considering it's going for $5 at Big W (or less if you snag it in their deal) it's a good price.

BDInfo scan and bitrate graph for the technical types:
