That's interesting, as I was thinking about the DVD but local reviewers were saying that the region 4 (where I am) transfer was rubbish and sound was average and that region 1 was the version to go for.
From what you are saying I'd be better off not bothering with R1 either, although the reviews of the R2 version are no better. Sounds as though this one is going to be a miss for my collection.
I knew this was a mistake; my grip on reality's not too good at the best of times. Glitz, in "The Ultimate Foe"
