Title Best
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves=

    The Region 4 version of this disc misses out on:

  • Robin Hood In The Movies - 25 pages of text detailing the history of Robin Hood movies.
  • Why Tell The Story Again - 9 pages of text explaining what Prince Of Thieves attempted to bring to the legend.
  • Cast & Crew biographies.
  • Recommendations - the "If you enjoyed this movie, then try..." variety.
  • French Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack.
  • Spanish Subtitles
    The Region 1 version of this disc misses out on:
  • Portuguese subtitles
    While the differences are not major (don't forget the R1 features the exact same transfer as the R4), it is still disappointing to find that we not only have to suffer the terrible NTSC transfer, but we don't get as many extras. Alternatively, there appears to be an English R2 version of the film that is single-sided dual-layered, in PAL with a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack. So what is the catch? The British version features the almost requisite BBFC cuts, removing 29 seconds from the movie. By all reports the transfer is simply a PAL version of this NTSC transfer, so the decision is whether the lack of flipper status is enough to overcome the downside of the cuts. In my opinion, Warner have done the right thing by giving us the uncut version, but it still does not make up for their shameful treatment of the Australian DVD public.
