What's the DVD like?

I'd also like to get personal opinions on Ronin!

kick ass movie IMHO

oh the DVD, hmm it was nice 5.1 sound, transfer is good. don't recall on the extras thou.

Ronin has a great anamorphic transfer on one side and a full screen transfer on the other side. I think it has English 5.1 and a French 5.1 audio tracks, an informative commentary track by John Frankenheimer and an alternate ending scene. A top-notch movie and disc all around.

hmm.. so the Ronin disc is not the type with the gold bottom and colored top, but the 2 sided silver disc?

I just got home and looked at my disc. The above info is accurate. The disc is silver on both sides with no artwork.

better get the Code 2 version as code 1 is a flipper.
code 2 has a making-of: Filming in the fast lane while code doesn't have.
i sold my code 1 version and bought code 2.
the top of the disc also has an artwork.

Man, unfortanetly.. I'm in Region 1

What happens when you put a Region 2 disc in a Region 1 Player anyway?

Plebeian 03-23-01 10:10 AM

The player implodes. Just kidding, I just think it won't work unless your player is chipped to all regions. Or, obviously, you have a region 2 player or a region free player.

TheClovur, what about Heat? Damn, I love that DeNiro performance.

flipper??? It's been awhile since I've looked at it but I believe the sense inwhich it is a flipper is that the WS version is on one side and the P&S version is on the other. Atleast I don't remember ever flipping the DVD during the course of the movie. Anyway I would just get the R1 version, unless you already have the regionless/R2 player.

ooppss... thanks for the correction. i got confused, (i was thinking of comparison of Das Boot Code 1 and Code 2).
RONIN is not a flipper but a Double Layer 2-sided disc, and Code 2 is a Double Layer Single-sided disc.
