Awesome! This sketch-remake-compilation was the first Python-stuff I ever saw, and I've been a fan since.

Hopefully they'll release it in EU as well, otherwise I'll just have to import this!

EDIT: Btw, I sure hope they release an Executive Version! [0:00-1:11]

Anyone gotten this yet?

Braktastic · 07-27-2012, 10:18 PM

I just order this today from Amazon JP, so I'll try to watch it as soon as it arrives and report back.

I watched this last night. It is a bare-bones disc with a solid, film-like presentation. In addition to a 1080p AVC video transfer, it has two LPCM 2.0 audio tracks (both English and Japanese). Finally, it has English and Japanese subtitles and the menu is English friendly.

Thanks for sharing.

Although, the question "Get this or wait for EU-release?" remains.

Thanks for posting this Paul. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive from YesAsia but I'm glad to hear it's a good release. When you say solid presentation, do you mean 3.5 out of 5 or higher?

What is the best way to import this to Canada?

e_d · 04-27-2020, 01:45 AM

Third party seller on Amazon Japan that ships internationally would likely be your best bet.

ParamountChris · 04-30-2020, 12:18 AM

I will try that^^. What does this release also have for logos on the pre-menu opening and the front of the film itself?

Any news of a Region 1 version?

Nothing that I'm aware of. The most recent physical release in North America is the 2006 remastered DVD, which is still in print.

At this point there's really no reason to not get the region-free German BD (linked below) and be done with it. I own a copy myself, and am quite satisfied with its quality. The Japanese release isn't really a feasible option at this time since it's been out of print for several years now.

I was just looking at this on eBay and I zoomed in on a picture of the back and it shows as Region B but all the listings say it’s region free. What’s the truth here?

Thanks!

Just tested it in my multi-region player set to both RA & RB, and it confirms to be region-free.

The German subs are optional, and it even had English ones, if needed.

I picked it up new about 7 years ago for a pittance, and is probably the best fiver I've ever spent.

Well, it’s a bit pricier than that on eBay at the moment, I’ll keep a watch on that though, thanks for the clarification.

I have the other three Python films on Blu-ray or DVD, but somehow completely forgot to grab this one and the other day my wife randomly asks about watching it and I had to confess I didn’t have the disc and we couldn’t even find it on streaming anywhere.
