Its a lot better and more fun than some of the Arnie films that have been released in the UK too.

Captain Freedom still cracks me up!

I am looking to buy this,what release would best suit me?it would have to be region B/free.

Spain has a release which is currently only €8.47 at the moment,I may just go for that.

Works fine in my PS4, watched it last week after buying the AUS version from eBay.

Weird. The Australian one is fine on my Sony player - it was fine on my older Sony player too.

Yeah it must be a faulty disc,I tried it in a mates BD player earlier and it won't work in his either,I have emailed the company and I'll wait to see what they say,there's no point in me paying to return it to Australia.

Edit:JB Experience,the company where I purchased my disc are posting out a replacement so that's great news.

My replacement disc has just arrived and I put it straight in the machine and it works fine so I am delighted with that and thankful "jbexperience09" were quick in sending out a new disc.

This looks like an old classification that the BBFC have, for some reason, updated with 2017 BBFCInsight. The listing itself claims to be from 28 November 1991, which makes sense, as when The Terminator, Predator and Total Recall (along with The Silence of the Lambs) are all now 15s, surely this film is fit for 15, too.

Unfortunately, that means the film hasn't been re-submitted, which in turn means it's less likely that there is an imminent UK release planned.

Video Collection International... That takes me back to bargain bins at Woolworths and Makro.

Wouldn't have thought they were still around... VCI, that is.

Oh, is that still them?

I thought they went out of business over 20 years ago!?!

Shame, I'll have to stick with the the one that's in the first post. It's not that bad, rather have it then the old DVD.
