Region 4 Winners and Losers

    Taza, Son of Cochise has been released in Region 2 in barebones format, without extras, in Italy and Germany. The film has also been released in Region 2 France by Sidonis individually and as part of the Cochise: Chief of Legends Collection Box Set which also includes the Universal films Broken Arrow and The Battle of Apache Pass. The French release has an average bitrate of 8.65 m/b per sec and includes quality extras with an 8-minute interview with Patrick Brion who discusses the film in the career of Douglas Sirk and cites the book on the filmmaker, Jon Halliday and a 19-minute interview with director Bertrand Tavernier who refers to Jeff Chandler and analyses the 3-D cinematographic process. Unfortunately, these releases by Sidonis are now out of print.

    The Region 4 Madman Directors Suite version of Taza, Son of Cochise is the first release of the film onto DVD in an English-speaking Region.
