Korean Wild at Heart DVD is Region 0 NTSC!!!
Well this came as a shock to say the least. I decided to pick up a copy of the UK Wild at Heart DVD... or so I thought from a vendor on Ebay. When the disc arrived, the disc looked exactly like the UK disc cover that I had sen online, however, it had Korean lettering on it. I popped it into my DVD Rom Drive thinking I would have to switch the Region Code first, but instead, it did not prompt me to switch the Region Code. I pulled the disc out, and threw it into my regular DVD player, and was amazed that the disc was both Region 0 and NTSC. What that means for you Americans is that you can purchase this disc off of Ebay or any other Korean DVD reseller, and play it in your regular DVD player. I picked it up for $10.50, however I've seen it going for around $27. If you grab it, make sure it's the Korean version.
Keep in mind that MGM will be putting out a Lynch approved version later this year... however if you want something in OAR (Original Aspect Ratio), and you want it now, it's better than VHS.

The fact it DOESN'T have a Lynch-approved transfer makes it a pointless buy. The Lynch-approved Reg 1 will be out in a few months anyway.

Well, David Lynch has never been exactly DVD friendly, so that's the main reason why I got this and Lost Highway from Europe.
Quote from John Neff regarding Wild At Heart, "Dave has not finished the new transfer yet. There was a problem with the IP from the first transfer, and a new one was struck from the camera negative. David is working on that one now. So, anything on the street is not David's 'approved transfer'. it doesn't exist yet."
Quote from David Lynch on his website regarding Wild At Heart, "DAVIDLYNCH [11:04 AM PST]: BLU - EACH NIGHT I'M GOING TO THE LAB - FOR TWO WEEKS NOW -- TO TIME AND COLOR CORRECT WILD AT HEART FOR DVD -- "
You need to read through some of the stuff on this site especially the interviews with John Neff. I don't know how anyone can say "David Lynch has never been exactly DVD friendly".

"Never" is the operative word there. Lynch in fact wasn't very friendly to home video of any sort for a long time, and has only come around with support for the DVD format in the last couple of years.

BTW, I'm not sure about the Japanese disc but the Korean disc is a PAL-NTSC transfer. So far, there's still no true NTSC version unless the Japanese one is a different transfer.

Josh, I think they are talking about the new edition that came out a few months ago which I suppose is a new transfer, not like the first now OOP disc.

Thanks for the info.
So what's this link at the bottom for a "Wild at Heart Limited Edition" all about?
