SILENT TRIGGER (Russell Mulcahy, 1996)

Post by urnemesis69 »

Hi

I was wondering if anyone can advise me whether SILENT TRIGGER is available on DVD in a genuine widescreen format.

I have it in 4x3 ratio and weary I may acquire another when my intention is to get the widescreen version.

Furthermore, if it is available, could you advise on any good online retailers that will have a copy?

Thanks

have you tried play.com or amazon.com, s&h is free with play but you have to pay postage with amazon. just check which format it is on first or maybe try e-mailing them to ask- its worth a try.both sites are good but my personel favourite has to be play.com,they are very fast and very reliable. hope this helps.

SILENT TRIGGER DVD

Post by BrunnenMatt »

Hey, just wanted to know if anybody has the R2 France disc title "Assassin Warrior" release by Studio Canal.

I wanted to know if this has 'forced French subtitles' when watching the English soundtrack? And what is the aspect ratio (1.85:1 or 2.35:1)?

Notice IMDB listed it as 2.35 but saw the specs at "Amazon.fr" with 1.85.

This is the only version I can find that is 'Anamorphic' and includes the 'Theatrical Trailer' and is 'Uncut'.

I hope somebody can help, have not seen this for ages and would like to pick it up. Thanks in advance,

I have to correct this, the french DVD IS in the 2.35:1 CINEMASCOPE aspect ratio, even if it says 1.85 on the cover... the subtitles are forced, and the trailer is french dubbed, but yes this is the best edition so far...

I was hoping this was not True :evil:! thanks for the info.

:?: Hows the quality of the print, and have you seen it against the 4:3 releases to compare the picture image?

:arrow: Let's hope another region release this movie soon with the same image.

Thanks again,

Just received Silent Trigger from Italy, the movie is 2.35:1 (16:9) :D , but only contains 3 Italian dubbed audio tracks :cry:.

The shop told me it contained an English DD 2.0 track, but unfortunately only a dubbed soundtrack, On-line shop was nice enough to refund my money :D.

Here's hoping for a release in its original aspect ratio soon! The first 2 minutes sounded nice in DTS 5.1 :D. but I turned it of around the church/helicopter scene, looks like a good movie. I guess I will see this movie one day, but not just yet. I prefer OAR then the 4:3 transfer in R1!

that's too bad but thanks for the info because I was gonna give this edition a try myself... does it bother you if it has subtitles? the french DVD is only in Dolby 2.0 but it's 2.35 16/9 and has the english track, it's the best version so far I guess even though they re-designed the main titles police and put the cheesy "Assassin Warrior" title instead.

Yeah, I think after awhile this would put a damper on the experience :(. The French have a lot of Dolph Movies in the original aspect ratio (OAR), but there all include forced subtitles :cry:.

well yeah... the thing is a lot of the times (meaning when it's not a big studio movie) the distributors are obligated by contract to force subtitles so that they don't eat on english speaking countries markets
