Region 4 Winners and Losers

    Subway has been released in awful Region Free pan-and-scan versions by UAV in the United States and CEL in Australia. These should be avoided at all costs. A Region 1 US release by Columbia Tristar included a French and English Dub Dolby Digital 2.0 surround-encoded soundtrack, whereas the similar UK Region 2 release by the same company also included German, Russian, Italian and Spanish soundtracks. The French Region 2 Film Office release and the German Region 2 BMG release both included Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks in French, English and German. All these releases included trailers as extras or filmographies.

     Despite only including the original French soundtrack in Dolby Digital 2.0, the Australian Region 4 Madman Directors Suite label release does not pale into comparison to the aforementioned versions of Subway, as the soundtrack on this release is still dynamic.
