Check your Drive R2 DVD - mine is now a coaster!

Watched this last night and some serious problems have set in with this disk. I could not watch the second half of the movie. I think Medusa may have had a problem with some batches of their early releases. Anyone else had this problem or know if it has been corrected?

I already ordered a replacement so that I could finish the movie. I bought this from someone in the Forum about six months ago and just got around to watching it. It looks like it's in mint condition. What a bummer.

Yes, there was a problem with the original batch which meant it got "stuck" at the layer change point. I had to get mine replaced by Hong Kong Legends directly. This was a while ago now though and all existing stock should've been replaced. Looks like you picked up the old version.
