How’s the Turkish release? Uncut? English friendly?

Would probably be English friendly, but I can't tell if it's a bootleg. The ones on eBay from Sri Lanka are obviously bootlegs though.

Just ordered Universal Soldier and Dark Country from Turkish ebay and Univ Soldier has English DTS sound and English subtitles.

Going back years, all the Turkish releases have been legit pressed retail releases so far.

My copy was out of stock so it has finally been shipped 20 days later. But hey at least they got it

It was also released in Brazil, and very long out of print.

However, these turkish units are really low-priced. If they are quality ones, grab them if you are interested in this title.

I already have it, watched it and reviewed it in another thread.

This can still be bought used in the UK from CEX for just £4.

You sound as if you've known about this for a while.

With CEX the discs are often scuffed and scratched so it's always a gamble but £4 is an excellent price.

Finally bit the bullet and got a used copy from Australia. The shipping cost more than the actual movie, but in most cases I’d have to get it shipped overseas anyway.

The packaging doesn’t indicate the region coding at all, so I assume it’s Region Free. It’s playing on my Region A-locked Oppo 203 with no issues. Can’t account for Region C of course.

The disc starts up with a cheesy anti-piracy ad from Australia. I actually find this “Thanks for paying” a lot more charming than the American ones that threaten you with punishment. It has the standard Paramount disclaimer and Paramount High Definition logos before the logo for Transmission Films, the Australian distributor. Then the menu, which offers two soundtracks, DTS-HD MA and a descriptive audio track, plus one subtitle track, English for Hard-of-Hearing.

In comparison the R-rated, 2D American disc by Sony starts with a Sony home entertainment logo, a Blu-ray logo, an ad for Sony Blu-ray (Oh. My. Smurf…), followed by 5 trailers. And when you start the film there’s a bunch of anti piracy and legal disclaimers.

But both releases have their own unique special features, the American disc has a commentary track and making of feature, while the Australian has interviews with the director and cast. This is also not as important, but these releases have totally different menu screens. The Sony pop-up menu is very generic in comparison.
