ADDITION:
The Region 3 has the same menu's and Extras as the Region 2- but poorer
picture quality than both the Region 1 and Region 2. It would only be for
those who desire the Thai DUB, or the Thai and Korean subtitles. If you
don't require those stick with the Region 2- until the Region 1 is reissued. Okay, so the Region 1 DVD was cancelled, but it came out in some locations anyway. I know one chap who has two copies. He claims that you may be able to obtain one from the following in the US: Coconuts Music & Movies, Sam Goody and Suncoast and Borders. Also some may be found in Blockbuster. There is not a lot of difference between the two anamorphic Region releases of this film. The Region 2 is slightly cropped has a minimal green tint of the image, but other than that any difference are negligible. Sometimes the Region 2 image looks sharper to me, but then again it may be my eyes. The Extra Features have slight variation, but they both offer the Burton, Landau commentary - the Region 1 has more deleted scenes (see below) - this may be the source of the controversy. The Region 2 release offers a few more subtitle choice and a Spanish DUB. The menus are almost duplicates with a few minor differences. If you can't get a hold of a Region 1 copy, I see no reason in not buying the Region 2 release, although it does have 4% PAL speedup if you are sensitive to that. NOTE: I did have one problem with my Region 2 release. I couldn't seem to get the Chapter Menu options to appear. It remained extremely dark with a 'flying saucer" light appearing as the cursor (see below). This could be my own user error and I didn't find it particularly debilitating anyway. ADDITION: I have been told the same thing happens on the Region 1 DVD - you must wait about 20 seconds for the chapter stops to appear. |
