How to get DVD/blu-ray from overseas? - Blu-ray Forum

Musashi · 08-27-2009, 01:45 AM

It's like this: according to my research, one of my favorite films from the 90s saw a version 14 minutes longer in Sweden. The US DVD release has the shorter version. and that has left me curious as to if the DVD sold in Sweden or elsewhere may have the fullest cut, assuming of course such a disc exists. My google and other searches came up short; anyone know where to shop for something like this?

It might help if we knew what film you were talking about.

You know, I'd like to buy these Russian DVDs but Russia seems like a total douche country for not shipping to any country in the world. I want District 9, Terminator Salvation, and Inglourious Basterds on DVD, damn it!

Russian language for most of those releases. They are R5 DVD's that Russia can distribute early but they dub the entire film or put Hard Subs.

Don't they also have washed out colours and a bad encoding job?

Yeah, I know. I've translated them on Google Translate. Usually just Russian dubbing. But, hey, it's the real thing and it's legal too.
