I got V: the miniseries, final battle(US box sets) and V2:season 2 Japanese box set. The guy I got them from said he sold the Japanese first season and got the US ones (back in LD days) but he doesn't remember why:)

I want to keep them uniform and go for the Japanese box sets for the miniseries and final battle? any reason I should stick to the US versions?

I have both. There are some reports that the Japanese box set is cut, but I've not confirmed that. On these Mini-Series titles, sometimes Warner would cut off the credits of the first part, and cut the opening credits off the second part. This was true for "It". I'd have to look at these discs again to be sure if they did that on "V".

The US version has Digital Audio, CX Noise Reduction and no subtitles. The Japanese edition is bilingual with Analog only audio.

:crazy: How does one even Vind this on the database search? I tried "V" and all I get is "Henry V" "Rocky V". I even took a crack at "V Lizards"...nothing so is this even listed on the database?

I was into the whole Lizard Kruger thing in the early 80's at 8pm till 9pm on ITV1.

It's a problem with very short titles: looking up for "V" finds any title with a V in it (> 12K titles) so I had to use a trick for this one: V:*

IMDb # search works as well.

Did anyone got around to compare or check these releases further? I have first japanese box coming up and keeping eyes open for the second but I'd be interested to know whether I should really dig up those US sets aswell, I don't mind the slight difference in picture quality but those possible removed bits are a slight turn off unless the edits are all about trimmed credit sequences.

Type in V final battle - it will come up.

V was first broadcasted in the UK on ITV during Easter time in 1985(I think it was either 1984 or 1985). All 5 episodes were broadcasted one day after another Monday to Friday at 10.30pm. The only bit I remembered was the lizard baby popping out at the end of episode 4. Great series but the follow up series was crap.
