The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert Blu-ray Review


My copy from Foxconnect.com arrived today and since the only thread for this is in the Wishlist, I thought I'd start one.



Specs on the back cover list the video as AVC @36MBPS, 103 minutes, 2.35:1 AR and 50GB disc. Audio is listed as English DTS Master Audio and French DTS, with English hearing impaired and Spanish & French subtitles. But they don't tell the whole story - from the disc menu audio options are:

English DTS MA, Director's Commentary, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, Castellano (Spanish), Magyar, Polish, Thai & Turkish.

There are subtitle options for all the above languages plus Chinese, Japanese (Asian language characters were displayed twice which I can't read so I'm guessing Mandarin & Japanese), and Dutch.

Like most recent MGM releases, there is not Main Menu, when the disc is inserted the movie begins playing. To access audio/subtitle, scene selection, and special features press the pop-up menu button on the remote.

Extra features: Birth of a Queen, Tidbits from the Set, The Bus from Blooperville, Deleted scenes, and Trailers.

Back of the cover is marked Region A but I tested it on a player set to Region B and it loads and plays just fine on a Region B player.

Watched it last night on my 110" projector screen tonight and PQ & AQ are excellent, I'd give it 4/5. I think the movie is very funny, great acting, wonderful scenes of the Australian outback, and an all around great story. But I'm not sure the real Duke would like it.
