Title Best
Seabiscuit (2003)R4

    Given that this is a rental release, please be aware that the extras on the final sell-through version of the Region 4 disc may vary from those listed above. The Region 1 version of this film has been released in three different incarnations, namely a widescreen release, a Pan & Scan version and a two-disc Ultimate Gift Set:

    All the Region 1 releases miss out on:

  • dts soundtrack
  • Seabiscuit Vs. War Admiral, The 1938 Match Race (this is present on the two disc set)

    Compared to the single-disc Region 1 versions, from what I can gather, the Region 4 release misses out on:

  • Seabiscuit: Racing Through History - a roughly fifteen minute featurette with Ross providing more factual data around Seabiscuit's success in the 1930s
  • Photo Finish: Jeff Bridges' On the set Photographs (which are apparently very impressive)
  • Production Notes
  • Filmographies
  • Schindler's List trailer

    Compared to the two-disc Region 1 version, the Region 4 release additionally misses out on:

  • HBO First Look Special - seemingly an extended (thirty minute) version of the "Making Of" featurette found on the Region 4 release.
  • Winner's Circle: The Heroes Behind The Legend
  • The True Story Of Seabiscuit
  • Booklet - twenty pages
  • Collectible Senitype
  • Photocards (5)
  • Bookmarker
  • DVD ROM content - seemingly simple web-links

    The Region 2 release appears to be identical to our own version. For serious fans the two-disc Region 1 release will be a must buy (although some of the extras sound a little gimmicky to me). For those less obsessed, the Region 4 release may just win by a nose due to the presence of the original Race Match footage and the dts audio transfer.
