Since the Japanese version does not have subtitles, I have not purchased it. I own enough copies of this movie for now.

Oh okay. Sorry. I figured you received copies for review or some such. I didn't realize you purchased all these films yourself.

I thought it was a very good review also, Josh. And a nice summary of the changes made in the R1 version.
But why the cheap shot at those who prefer watching with a dubbed rather than subbed version? It's not only because they are unable to chew popcorn and read at the same time, you know.

We get screeners from the studio for R1 discs, but the majority of international discs are those we purchase ourselves (with some exceptions).

Nice packaging, but the BBFC censored several of the scenes involving horses.

Dubbing is an atrocity.

Yes, it is.

This thread needs a "Part 3", methinks.
