RE: Stanley Kubrick - A Life in Pictures
The Doc is available in France, I got mine from the HMV in Paris. It was about 14 euros.
`5 Minutes To Live` Have I Been Ripped Off?
I ordered a couple of DVD`s from www.5minutesonline.com, which have not turned up yet after over a month from the date that I ordered them. I have e-mailed them a couple of times and have had no reply. Some people may say that I got what I deserved by ordering `public domain` DVD-Rs, but the site seemed reputable enough, and had recieved good word of mouth on the DVD Maniacs forum. Has anyone here had a similar experience who could offer some helpful advice?
RE: Soldier Blue on DVD ever?
So what exactly is missing?If it is footage from the rape of the indian woman (which is already graphic), then the scene may be on par with the maid rape Death Wish 2 in terms of sheer brutality.
RE: Soldier Blue on DVD ever?
I`m fairly sure that the Canal + version may be uncut, as it features all of the footage of the rape of the Indian woman which is graphic and features full frontal nudity. The differences in running times (4-5mins) could indicate a pal/ntsc variation.
According to cutlassvideo.com the uncut running time on the pre-cert UK video is 109 minutes. The Greek DVD runs 110m:08s approx. The Dutch video version is uncut, but the french video by TFI is the cut version.
RE: Soldier Blue on DVD ever?
The UK version would definitely be cut for horse-falls, as animal cruelty requires compulsory cuts by law. Also, during the climax there are scenes of sexual violence which may prove problematic, similar material has been cut from death wish 2.
RE: Soldier Blue on DVD ever?
The Greek version (according to the box) runs 110 mins. The Greek disc is distributed and/or manufactured by Audio Visual Enterprises, their web address is also on the box:www.audiovisual.gr. You may be able to purchase the dvd from there.
RE: Region 2 Temple of Doom UNCUT is available...
I picked up the Ltd Korean release, which came in a leatherette Franklin Planner Binder, embossed with the Indiana Jones logo. Those lucky Koreans also have the choice of picking up a similar Ltd release which includes a reproduction of the amulet which is (I think) featured in last Crusade. Of course, TOD is uncut. Incidentally, the discs come in digipacks similar to the Godfather DVD`s, and not amaray cases, making the box set smaller and more shelf-friendly.
RE: Soldier Blue on DVD ever?
Soldier Blue is available in PAL R2 from France and Greece. I have the Greek version, it is a Canal + release through a Greek distributor. The dvd is letterboxed at 2.35:1, and has forced greek subs, although they are mostly eliminated when zooming in on a 16:9 set. The extras are limited to biogs of the stars and trailers for other releases, including the Elephant man and the Emerald forest. Sound is Mono, and the picture quality is very good, although there are a couple of examples of minor print damage. Hope this helps.
