:D Holy bat-bump! :banana:

Question for Bottle Rocket owners... Is this disc anamorphic? Nothing, that I can see, in this thread about 16X9 enhancement... Mostly just a bunch of bitching about Rushmore. :p

Several reviews that I've read say that it IS anamorphic, but DVDTown lists it as not anamorphic in their database. Since it's such an old release, I thought I would ask to confirm. Any help appreciated! :wave:

It does not state it on the case, but I am pretty sure it is. I will check next time I go to my movie room.

It sure is.

However, it's a double-sided disk from Columbia TriStar, with anamorphic widescreen on side A and pan&scan on side B, and you know what Columbia TriStar have been doing with double-sided disks lately ...... :(

Wait, wait...whu? Are you saying that they ELIMINATE the widescreen OAR side to make it pan & scam to lower the price or something! That sucks?

Anyone?

Yep, that's EXACTLY what Columbia TriStar have been doing lately with a lot of their previously double-sided releases. To make matters worse, they keep the UPC the same as well and just change the back cover to remove any mention of widescreen!
