DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORPHIC!
 

http://www.web-libre.org/medias/affi...ee4acf4f66.jpg

For years and years, this DVD has not been available as Anamorphic and with English subtitles. And it's finally here - Russian company Amalgama has re-released this film, NTSC, Region-Free, with English subtitles this time and re-mastered anamorphic video...I'll do a DVD review of the film as soon as I get it and do a comparison to the previous Russian version (which didn't have English subtitles, but was anamorphic, and with DD 5.1/DTS French audio)

I can confirm that the DVD is anamorphic, Dolby Digital 5.1 French, and English subtitles! Finally, we can throw away the crappy UK and HK DVD versions..it's sold here at: http://www.artpopdvd.com/DVD/48602.aspx

For anyone who doesn't know about this film, it's the greatest live-action cartoon violent French movies ever! It's awesome and an easy blind buy. It also feels so short because it moves along so fast and is so entertaining. This is the one French film that I can watch over and over the most. A lot of people think that Gary Oldman from The Professional is one of the scariest villains of the 90s. Wait til you see Tchéky Karyo playing a bad cop - definitely one of his scariest roles. Did I mention that Vincent Cassell, Monica Bellucci, and Romain Duris are in the film?

Here's the trailer for people that don't know of this violent masterpiece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of7I7c9zwJM

Personally, I'm waiting for a better translation of Wasabi, hopefully for Blu-Ray, with the various extras that were included on foreign DVDs.

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available now with English subs
 

Have you seen Dobermann though?

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORP
 

I responded to your query elsewhere, Toddly - I seriously doubt it the Russian distribs have the right to include English subtitles. This being said, I hope they simply copied the old Universal disc (I will be covering the Blu-ray disc only).

thanks dude, i have heard of this flick for years, but have never gotten around to it. Placed an order for it

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available now with English subs
 

I haven't, but I watched the preview and thought of Wasabi. I like the cast though.

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORP
 

Since..I think it was toddly that told me about this...I saw the trailer after you told me..and goddamn. Cassel....kicking ass. I love it. Oh wait..Amazon doesn't have it up...so is this ever seriously going to be released properly in the USA?

More than a decade has past, so I doubt it.

I've only triple-dipped on very few DVDs in my collection: Battle Royale, Army of Darkness, and now Dobermann!

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available now with English subs
 

You must be speaking of a different Wasabi then as there isn't much of this

Lets hope that the site is right and it does indeed have english subtitles, and its not just a typo.

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORP
 

I already contacted the site, and they confirmed that it definitely has English subtitles as well as a menu in English. The only extra is the trailer...

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORP
 

I saw this in a theatre years ago and found it well-made but more than a bit pretentious, so I'm not sure I can second a blind buy. Definitely worth seeing, but . . .

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORP
 

Great news indeed

A friend showed this to me unsubtitled, and to be honest it barely mattered! Definitely one to turn the sound up and have a few friends over for with a couple of beers! It reminds me of watching early releases of Studio Ghibli films before they were subtitled...still good fun. This film is all action, and the dialogue is definitely secondary.

That said I will definitely be keen to check it out with a bit more comprehension of what is going on.

nice find

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORP
 

I just spend a week translating the subs into english and adding them to the R2 version! Probably wont buy another copy unless it gets released R1.

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORP
 

JESUS....you actually did subtitles...wow. That's passion right there...I think.

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORP
 

I received the DVD today and reviewed it here:

I hope DVDtalk staff gets a hold of this DVD as well to review!

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORP
 

Damn I just bought a bootleg of this like two weeks ago.

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORP
 

throw that one away!!...how was that bootleg anyway? haha

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORP
 

Here's sort of a mini-review at Twitchfilm of the DVD: http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/jan-...-a-decent-dvd/

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORP
 

I really hated this movie.

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORP
 

I'd like to hear a rebuttal from Toddly....

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORP
 

Balance is good with a movie like this! :lol:

I didn't hate it, as mentioned above, but I found it extremely pretentious and shallow (at the same time!) when I first saw it years ago, and that was loooong before the minor cult following that has popped up around it.

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORP
 

Let's just say... for a Double Feature Day, I would pair DOBERMANN with HOWARD'S END...;) Two entertaining, pretentious movies at the opposite spectrum...It's funny using the word "pretentious" about any kind of French film, because that's how I see the majority of French flicks! haha...As long as they are entertaining, I got nothing against pretentious flicks...For example, Les Témoins was the most recent awful pretentious, shallow, boring French film I've ever seen. That movie needed more action and violence!;)

Re: DOBERMANN dvd!!!!!Greatest French action movie available w/English subs & ANAMORP
 

I would never call Dobermann "pretentious" (a lot of people throw that word around inappropriately). I found it to be both dumb and boring. One or the other is fine; if it were dumb but exciting, or boring but smart I wouldn't have a problem (and it certainly wasn't smart and exciting, though I never expected it to be) - but it failed on both fronts.
