Once again, a second version of this film has become available on Region 1 DVD with the film cut to the director's specifications and a DTS soundtrack. The Region 4 and Region 1 standard versions of this disc misses out on; - Full-Bitrate DTS Soundtrack
- Three Minutes Of Extra Footage
- RSDL Formatting
Once again, Widescreen Review have indicated that the full-bitrate DTS soundtrack does not add anything to the film except for more definition in the lower registers of the soundtrack. Three minutes of additional footage is also not much to get excited about, as I can hardly see it adding nearly as much to the film as the six minutes of footage that was restored to the Criterion edition of Robocop. Additionally, in spite of RSDL formatting, the picture quality reportedly suffers from pixelization, MPEG artefacts, minor edge enhancement, and a "pasty" look in some scenes. Our local version of the disc would be the better choice due to the cleaner-looking picture.
