Decided to watch Universal Soldier right after, difference is like day and night. The side break was probably the most abrupt one I've seen, and the silliest thing is that the next scene is so short that they could've easily fit it on side 1! That's disappointing, I wonder if the US LD is any better.

Well I know someone was trying to get the US release here but they weren't having much luck due to it's high rot rate so it's kind of a crap tradeoff even if it does have a better transfer.

From what I remember without searching it also had CC English subtitles so you can watch it on your TV without anything extra unless you don't have CC in your TV. Most TV's made in the last 8-10 years have CC on them. You just need to turn it on.

He has more trashy horror that I want too, but those are LDs that have held there value a bit. I at least traded for them at under eBay values.

Came out to like $.40 a movie, all in HD.
