I think this is a much greater likelihood if you aren’t the sort to spend your money chasing Eraser or Dante’s Peak whatever (it seems most famous rotters are garbage films for some reason.) A shrink wrapped jacket can make a completely useless disc look wonderful. Maybe they're just really, really anal retentive about the burnt-in subtitles? But yeah, I don't understand why someone would go through that kind of effort for freakin' Air Force One or Eraser. If I really wanted Heavy Metal on LD, I'd just get the JP release, too.

TPM I got is perfect A used CU-CL0051 remote is now on the way in the mail. Also ordered another dozen or so titles @ $3aud each...more Star Wars OT (different IDs) and some other stuff. Mostly Japanese but there are a couple of US titles (hopefully the latter aren't rotters).

What's the deal with U.S. Heavy Metal? I have a copy from that lot.

Grasshopper told me his copy is rot free too. But I recommend the Japanese release as its open matte, you get more animation on the top and bottom, it does have burned in subs but if you zoom to 16x9 then you won't see the subs.
Really the best version on LD. If you're just gonna zoom it to 16x9 what's the point in it being open matte? Considering you can just get it on blu-ray now, there's really no reason to get the LD unless you're just really anal about the audio mix or you absolutely must have it in open matte. Personally I have no idea why they can't include the original stereo mixes on these things. I'm kinda curious about that French LD I mentioned.

Yeah, I carried the box under one arm so the whole lot wasn't heavy at all. Edit: Temple of Doom [LV 1643-2WS] is US release but has 2x Japanese foil stickers on it...widescreen & caption
