Danny the Dog's a 2-disk set. Maybe the site updated since you visited. It's got a doc, unedited action scenes, cut scene and an audio commentary(!), although I hae the feeling that last one's gonna be in French. I just bought the HK SE, so I don't know if I'll end up buying this one, though... I'll see...

Ultimate Editions are 2 DVD-9 discs boxes, compared to the initial releases the videos are less compressed. For example "The Transporter" is 1.2 GB bigger with the THX remastering, the colors, contrasts and depth of field are better.

Even the crappy "Michel Vaillant" has an english track, the exception is "Ong Bak" with only Thai/French audio.

Just wanted to let you know Tutut that you CAN NOT link images directly from Ecranlarge anymore. They have a blocking system in place so what you have linked above members here can NOT see.

Ciao,

Are the French subtitles forced when listening to the English audio?

Sorry guys, the hotlinking to their images is temporary blocked because of
server's overload.
Links to pictures for comparison between initial release and ultimate edition

It seems not, if you look at this picture:

On the top right there are "avec" (with) and "sans" (without) keys under "sous-titres" (subtitles) option.

I got The Transporter... the subs aren't forced... I'd guess they're all like that... for what it's worth...
