Fifth Element 2 Disc Special Edition?
Anyone heard any word about there being a 2 disc special edition for The Fifth Element? The Region 2 release is supposed to be fantastic and I was hoping to hold off till a Region 1 release came out. I didn't wait for a Region 1 A Fish Called Wanda, but I got that for lot cheaper than what The Fifth Element is going for. Luckily I held off on the Region 2 Predator since its release will be this year.

The video on the R2 version aint that great. The extras and packaging are much better though. I doubt it will get re-released because there is already two releases of it and its not a super popular movie.

I'm not crazy on the motion menus though but I'm glad I got it.

If you go to http://www.dvdbeaver.com click on "DVD Comparisons" and find the Fifth Element listing ('fraid I can't seem to give a direct link because of the way the site is set up) you will see an eye-opening comparision which shows that the Superbit has a much better image than the R2.

Another visual comparison that covers, both region 1 releases, both region 2 releases and a region 3 superbit (same as region 1)

Region 1 Superbit definitely has a better transfer than the R2 SE. No question.
