I'm looking for a letterboxed dvd of Tony Scott's original 124min cut of "Revenge." Is it still/or was it ever available? If someone does have it can you please post the UPC?

Thanks

i don't know the upc, but one does exist (i rented it from hollywood video, and its 16x9 also.
It was one of those widescreen/fullscreen flippers. Check ebay.

I'll check my local Hollywood Vid store. Netflix and Blockbuster Online only rent the full screen version which is not a flipper.

The UPC is 043396502192 but you've got to be careful because the old Widescrren/Fullscreen flipper has the same UPC as the Fullscreen only reissue.

Sony knows using the same UPC is A-OK because they know consumers don't care about aspect ratio. Everyone loves fullscreen! (Fox knows too...I love their DVD stickers that say "FULLSCREEN: NO BLACK BARS!")

The one of these I'm looking for (there was just a Cable Guy thread too for the same reason) is Multiplicity.

Yep, same UPC, I learned this the hard way last year when I ordered it from DVD Empire and discovered it was only the full screen version on there.

Does the packaging for the Widescreen/Fullscreen flipper state both formats on the back?

My Canadian one states side A is widescreen and side B full, on the back (small print).

I had been trying to give this away here on DVDTalk for quite some time and finally did on ebay

Yes, it's a little hard to read but here is the back cover of the original release that lists both fullcreen and widescreen (in the little text box under the menu picture):

Any new copy of the DVD should have the reasonably standard "grid" at the bottom with the 1.33:1 icon and all that nonsense.
