New York Ripper, The (Squartatore di New York, Lo) | R2E |
In comparison to the Region 1 Anchor Bay edition, our release misses out on:
The Region 1 misses out on:
On direct comparison, the Region 1 transfer is not as sharp or well-defined as our Region 4. Colours appear to be over-saturated and contrast levels are uneven on the Region 1 transfer, making many scenes appear either too bright or too murky. An uncut French Region 2 release that goes under the title of L'Eventreur de New-York is also available. It contains a host of bonus features spread over two discs, including:
The DVD has French, Italian (preferred) and English Dolby Digital 2.0 language tracks and like our Region 4 edition is presented uncut in the original 2.30:1 aspect ratio and 16x9 enhanced. However, it is unclear whether the bonus features have an English subtitle option. For collectors, the French R2 Special Edition is definitely the way to go, but have a French-English dictionary close at hand just in case. However, the curious will find the Region 4 an excellent buy. |
