Yamakasi (need someone with strong eyes)!!

Can anyone tell me what do you see on the back of the cover next to the French flag....British flag (subs)?

Well, unless I am mistaken this release NEVER EVER had English subs...was it re-released with subs or..what happened? I can not tell what's going on here.....all previous French discs were "Français pour malentendants"....

.....opinions?

Man, the way people harp on whether a disc is anamorphic it makes me cringe when I have enough money to upgrade my equipment and have to start worrying about it.

The movies was poop. I mean the jumping around stuff was neat for the intro, but after that... I don't remember much except for selling it to someone for $5.

Whining about it not being anamorphic won't save it from being a bad movie.

btw, Francais pour malentendant means its the version for the deaf so you have the sound effects/ambience in addition to the subs.

Well, thank you for your profound summary. I was not asking for it in this thread but a good, serious, evaluation is always welcome!! (your grammar is also impressive)!!

Fine. Fine..

1) http://us.imdb.com/Ratings?0267129

Out of 658 voters, it has a weighted average ranking of 5.3/10.

2) http://www.neo-modus.com/stuntpeople...s/yamakasi.htm

Rating 1.5/5 - "As just a movie, it barely passes, but as a "stunt action" movie, it fails. The third house scene was the main attraction, plus climbing the building in the beginning. Without those, it'd be even lower."

3) I think I said it more eloquently with "The movies [sic] was poop."

So blow that out your horn. Sorry, I am being sarcastic.

Does this mean that there are absolutely no voices in this particular sound mix for the deaf?

I think "Leon" has a feature where you can just hear the background music while you watch the movie. Is this the same feature?

Curious...

...no, no, no, no... "(sous-titres) Francais pour malentendants" simply means "for the hard-of-hearing", a.k.a. "for the hearing-impaired"... what, in the USA, are most often called "captions"...

...'t has nowt t'do wif soundtracks...
