Plan on it. Plus, waiting to see if anyone responses to my post on blu-ray.com.
edit:
someone on blu-ray.com confirmed it is indeed 1:78:1.

ok, I got ahold of the old Disney/BV widescreen release of "Men of War" today. I compared the movie shot for shot over this morning. this isn't a simple case of cropping or open matting. it's been literally REFRAMED. I unfortunately don't have the ability to do screen shots but take my word for it. I'm an anal retentive bastard . there's more info on the top for sure, and more info on the bottom, but the whole framing has moved to the left in some scenes.. meaning we see a lot more info on the left and part of the right that was on the dvd isn't there. However there are scenes where both sides ARE cropped. it's pretty obvious that it's not a hack and slash crop job but it's not a true open matte either. more like they completely reframed it.

Equilibrium was released twice by them, they ended up fixing the OAR (2:35:1) in the 6 pack version, which coincidentally contains another lundgren film.
So I'm waiting.

Yep alot of those other two packs have issues too. Some have OAR issues and include cut versions of the films. This isn't the case for the crow pack their putting out. They have given that a new transfer, fixed the OAR, new audtio, and it's now the directors cut. So.... if they pay attention to something like crow city of angels. I think there is some hope here.

The Crow City of Angels looks good in their release? That was the best one in the series. If it really looks that good, maybe I should check it out.
