The Mexican (2001) - Japan release?
I just noticed there's a 1.78 aspect release in Japan. Can anyone speak for PQ? I really wish someone would keep better track of all these unique transfers available around the world. blu-ray.com is useless unless you know exactly what you're looking for. Browsing the database sucks ass since there's a dozen different releases of every movie because of packaging changes, and I just want to know what's available, where, and if there's a distinct difference in the disc itself.

It's not something I would seek out an open matte release of, but I saw it and figured why not? I need to import it either way. The German release is OAR, but I like Amazon Japan because they offer fast shipping at a sane price point. I'd gladly pay 10x the blu-ray price of certain movies for an open matte release, specifically the ones shot in bullshit Super35 like Collateral. I absolutely hate that camera/filming style. You'd think with 4K we'd eventually get the option of watching the full frames instead of the cropped 2.35/2.40 shit. There has been evidence of this cropping on the widescreen versions since the screenshots showing the difference between fullscreen and widescreen versions of Terminator 2.

Whoever reported that the Japanese release of The Mexican was 1.78 needs bitch slapped. It's not. I'm not real impressed with the video quality either. I wonder if anyone has put up screen caps of the German one.
