Somehow I never seen the film. I guess I missed it at some point :o :shh:

I received the imported US Blu ray just today.
Have been reading about most WB titles being region free anyway so I took a chance. The packaging by itself is superb.
It's like a litlle book and it plays on my European Panasonic Blu ray player :thumbup: :thumbup:

Believe I bought a movie long forgotten by most and do hope it's enjoyable :thumbup:

Anyway,

Am I right assuming Warner Blu ray discs are regionfree most of the time?
Is there a pattern in what discs are regionfree?

Go for it :thumbup:
Watched it and loved it.
Takes some time before things become interesting but some of the scenes in the Jungle with those trucks are superb :thumbup:
Tension filled movie.
it's one of those forgotten movies I guess.
Btw The French boxset features great package.
Got me the USA booklet version also very nice looking. It's regionfree. Never tought I'd be importing a US release ever again. Not planning on making a habbit of importing Blu ray.
Had some region 1 dvd's years ago! wasted money IMHO

I used this site to check for region locks, but I don't know
how complete they are and how often they update these days:

I think I read somewhere that it is not mandatory to have region lock on blu-rays. Something like 70% are region free. Some distributors tend to use region locks all the time, while others doesn't. I gave up on trying to find a region free player, so imported a region A player for my imports that doesn't play in my european player. :lol:

Remember I bought some anime on blu-ray, same distributor, but season 1 is region free, while season 2 isn't. Guess I'll never understand the logic in the world of licenses and movie rights...

Good to hear that the movie works in the player you have! Don't think I've seen this movie either, guess I'll pick it up too!

Been hankering to watch this movie lately. It's been a long time. I was contemplating getting it on laserdisc, but (not to blaspheme) wondering if I should get it on blu-ray instead. I noticed in the database the LD copy is really a 1.33:1 image. That doesn't bother me, but is this mean that it's a pan and scan copy? I don't have immense P&S hatred, but if that's the case with the laserdisc, I'll probably pick up the blu-ray. It seems to have been reviewed pretty well.

IMDb says it is 1.85:1, so the LD is most likely P&S. It is a good way to check what ratio movies originally were, but the information isn't always accurate.
