Commitments, The: Special Edition/Gold Edition | R1 |
There have been a few Region 1 releases of this film: My Region 1 20th century Fox version is a 4:3 Pan & Scan affair with a Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack encoded at only 192 kbps (including the extra features). It contains an additional extra in the form of a "CD Sampler", which consists of four very brief sound bites from the soundtrack CD and is generally worthless. It misses out on the following extras found on the Region 4 version:
There is, however, a more recent two disc Collectors Edition available in Region 1, which features an anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack, and the average bit rate of the disc has been boosted to 8.8 Mbps (compared to 6.4 on the Region 4 version). Unfortunately for Region 4 fans, it also includes the following special features in addition to those found on our release:
The two disc Region 1 Collectors Edition is much better overall from the extras perspective and would be the obvious purchase option for dedicated fans of the film. |
