The Norsk BD of "Dawn of the Dead" (2004) arrived today, and I just checked the Scene with the topless woman, and.. long story short: It is uncensored!

The Norsk release (Finland, Norway, Dansk and Sweden) got an other Master than the censored universal master!

I will post some caps for quality check here soonm, and a BD Info scan.

Does anyone has the US BD of Dawn of the Dead 2004 for bitrate check?

Do you have an order link? and will they ship to the US, also is it region B or free?

Thanks a lot Mr Brown

 

I ordered here .. maybe they send to USA.

I don't know if region free or B. Amazon.co.uk says Region 2, my AnyDVD sys region not locked, but with region codes on BDs I am very careful, because anyDVD sometimes can't identify it.

Here are some caps:

Sadly none. I think StudioCanal just gave up on that.

If I am right, SAW 3 Director's Cut was only released on DVD in USA, and on BD as shorter Unrated Version.

France has a Region B locked BD of the Director's Cut Version with following specs:

The subtiotles seem not to be locked.

Sorry, I have neither the american pie, nor the basic instinct BD's.

But I will look out next time I am in a videothek, maybe I could rent them both.

Which American Pie? The first?

I'll try to get to the videothek coming week...

Sorry, the videothek only had the old VCL DVD without that 6 minutes Featurette. Not even the BD. But I'll keep my eyes open.

Should not be impossible to get it somehow.

So, Germany got the unrated Version of the new "Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning", while US only got the R-Rated Version. But you have to look for the "uncut" Version, not the cutted FSK 18 Version.

I have the UK Region 2 "VCI" release; it's a "flipper" disc with a 4:3 version one side 1 and a 16:9 version on side 2. I think there are some interviews on side 1, but I don't know if they are the 8 listed above.

Checked the disc. The interviews are contained in a 5-minute featurette, the disc also contains cast text biographies in the form of still images.

I don't think either of these extras appear on the later 3-disc Special Edition release, the VCI release is now out of print but you should be able to get it easily on eBay UK (the cover looks like this). 

UK got an "extended" BluRay release of Hammers 1958 Dracula with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee with two restored Scenes.

It contains the 2007 bfi restoration and the 2012 Hammer restoration on BD and DVD now presented in 1.66:1 (first time in its OAR).

Also a new audio commentary with Marcus Hearn and Jonathan Rigby.

Also some new documentaries on the censore history of the film and its restoration.

The Disc is stated to be Region B locked.

If someone is interessted, I'll do some screencaps and a BD Infos Scan.

April Germany is getting a Release of Army of Darkness by Koch MEdia, containing the DC on one BD, the US and the intl. Theatrical Cut on another BD, also the Three Versions on each a DVD, and a fourth DVD containing the US Television Cut in english with german subs.

I preordered this "Ultimate Edition" and will give informations on quality as soon as I'll get it and the time.

MrBrown I also have the Ultimate Army of Darkness coming as well as the France version which I should have any day now, but do you know if the Koch version of Inferno is still available?

Thanks

 

Inferno seems not to be sold out, you just won't find it on amazon.de due to the fact that it is Indiziert. I still see a german shop (ofdb.de) selling it for € 29,98.

And dtm.at sells it for 21.99 €.

Both prices don'T include shipping.

The German shop seems not selling international, but I think someone from the blu-ray.com forum bought something at dtm.at.
