I love these films, but I don't want to have a bad disc in my collection (transfer wise...

so far my collection consists of:

batman begins
dark knight
troy
first blood
band of brothers
top gun
iron man

Both are great looking movies. I think the review for Speed on this site is spot on.

Man on Fire looks and sounds great, the movie is ok it has its moments where its pretty cool. But some of the effects are pretty wack.

You'll love it, I think it's his best movie, Fallen 2nd.

P.S. It's a great transfer

Both are good flicks but if you are looking for reference PQ and near reference SQ then grab Man on Fire.

Both Man on Fire and Speed are must owns. Speed is a classic 90's action flick that still holds up very well today. Man on Fire is just a viscious revenge movie that really shines on BD with a spectacular reference quality transfer and soundtrack.

I own both.

Man on Fire if you find at a good price. Unfortunately Fox chose to release it barebones.
