The Japanese disc also has the English dubbed version. It was supposed to have been a theatrical release here, but ended up on TV instead. I'm curious how the WB print stacks up to the Japanese one. I've not seen the R2 disc, but a friend has it.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-82583600579070745032011-03-23T14:27:56.957-04:002011-03-23T14:27:56.957-04:00This looks good.

On the one hand you have films that have been kept away from DVD distribution (and may not even been on VHS, for that matter) that finally get to see the light of day for fans. That's an enormous plus. However, at times WB's pricing takes advantage of those same fans they wish to serve with these offerings. The lack of extras and no remastering of the old prints makes you wonder what you're ultimately paying for compared to the studio releases (of old and new movies). It's not that it will stop me acquiring films that I want a copy of (DARK OF THE SUN is an old great Rod Taylor actioner coming later to WBA that I'm anxious for). But, does irk me. Thanks to you and J.D. for the heads up.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-17477922115756247892011-03-22T18:28:19.072-04:002011-03-22T18:28:19.072-04:00Hi J.D:

I noticed that this film was a new addition to their archive and when I did some digging to find out what it was all about (I had never heard of it before), I came across your review!<br /><br />The clip that's available on WB's site certainly looks intriguing and if its any indiction, the print looks pristine!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.com
