No don't work for them, wouldn't mind doing though if it comes with a staff discount and advanced notice of upcoming releases.

The disc will have an audio commentary by Director Randal Kleiser.

https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=9461&page=

Play.com also lists the audio commentary and says the disc is region 0.

Sky_Captain · 09-09-2012, 03:18 AM

I think you mean Randal Kleiser.

You're right. The Short Circuit Blu-ray will have an audio commentary by John Badham.

Play.com is wrong about the region, it's region B only....

jimbean · 09-27-2012, 06:43 PM

Wish it was a bit cheaper

FrankV · 10-10-2012, 09:24 PM

According to the Second Sight website the aspect ratio is 1.78:1 1080p and there's a PCM 2.0 audio track. They also say that the disc is region free.

svenge · 10-11-2012, 05:06 AM

If it is truly region-free, I'd be all over it!

jimbean · 10-11-2012, 08:36 AM

I've caved & ordered it! Not too bad as I used an amazon voucher I forgot I had so works out free

sukraj · 10-11-2012, 08:44 AM

I never had the chance to watch this film when i was a kid so i might pick it up.

Well I messaged them on FB and they say region B....

FrankV · 10-12-2012, 05:41 AM

Then they need to update their website.

Great film, quite dark in places. I made my mom take me to the cinema about 4 times to see this back in 1986 or whenever it was.

Mentasm · 10-14-2012, 12:01 AM

The copy I'm looking at right at this moment plays back in my BD player when set to region A, so it is at least region A/B (haven't bothered to test C). Short Circuit is the same.

I've never seen the German release, but from what I've read this would appear to be a port of that release. In other words, it's a step up from the DVD but don't get too excited. (With that said the UK DVD release was abysmal; VHS quality, and that's not hyperbole.)

Ben_UK · 10-14-2012, 07:52 AM

I have the US DVD, image quality is ok.

Yep, it's region free. As with Short Circuit, the UK PQ has a pleasing un-****ed-with appearance that won't have people showing it off as a demo disc, but it's all that the film can realistically deliver so I'm very pleased with it.

You're right about the UK DVD, it literally was a VHS copy slapped onto a disc!!

svenge · 10-14-2012, 11:31 AM

Sounds great then. One question though: I thought it wasn't coming out until November? Where did you pick it up?

Geoff D · 10-14-2012, 05:36 PM

You're right, it's not out until November. We reviewers have got screeners.
