Title Best
Pulp Fiction: 10th Anniversary 2-Disc Collector's EditionR2F
    The Region 1 2-Disc CE from Miramax includes the following extra features not included in Region 4:
  • Digipak packaging
  • French Dolby Digital 2.0 dubbed soundtrack
  • Soundtrack chapter selection (skip to your favourite song in the film)
  • Feature length enhanced trivia track
  • Soundtrack Sneak Peaks: Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction
  • DVD-Rom extras: Script viewer, enhanced playback, trivia game, weblinks, articles, reviews and record your own commentary for some scenes.
  • International trailers
  • TV spots
  • 2 booklets

    Region 1 misses out on:

  • English descriptive audio (Dolby Digital 2.0)

    There is a particularly attractive French Region 2 release comprised of 2 DVDs and a CD. Unfortunately though, it has a forced French subtitle stream. It is a very nice package, with the following extras not available in Region 4:

  • French language feature commentary with anecdotes and the like
  • DVD-Rom features: Screenplay, screensavers, wallpapers, weblinks, trivia game, reviews, articles and record your own commentary for certain scenes.
  • Extensive Picture & poster galleries
  • TV spots
  • Filmographies (in French)
  • 2 Easter eggs (in French)
  • Soundtrack CD (5 tracks)
  • Booklet

    Region 2 UK appears to have all the features of the Region 1 discs. Unfortunately, they've suffered a censored scene in which the shot of the needle entering Vincent's arm is zoomed so as not to show penetration of the skin. Although some sites list it as uncut, it is still altered and certainly not the director's vision.

    Judging by screen captures I have viewed of other regions, the French release has the best image by far. Their image is sharper, with more defined contrast and stronger colours, but remember that it has a forced French subtitle stream. It seems the French can manage a decent PAL transfer, but after three attempts the Region 4 is still sub-standard by a long shot.
