Region 4 Winners and Losers

    Hard Candy has not yet made it onto Blu-ray elsewhere in the world.

    Weighed against the DVD editions of the film, all of which were more or less identical, this is a bit of a disappointment. Whilst there is a definite improvement in picture and audio quality over the DVD transfers (certainly more than a conventional DVD upscale would offer), this edition misses out on the substantial extra features the DVD editions contained. That amounts to about an hour of comprehensive "making of" featurettes, covering all aspects of production and marketing, two audio commentary tracks, around 10 minutes of deleted scenes and substantial DVD-ROM content that included the film's final script and production art. Don't be surprised if we see a double-dip with this title.
