Page 1 of has anyone got "the thing"?

Its a 1982 film I think. I want to know if the R2 version is Anamorphic or letterbox. TIA

Letterbox, just like all the other versions.

The "original" 1951 version is out on 5th August in the US.

for a minute there I thought there was a special collectors ultimate edition coming out soon.

A great film and DVD - its Carpenter at his best (or was that Halloween or Big Trouble in Little China????). Anyhow, when Play.Com are selling for the incredibly stooopid price of £6.99
can you afford not to buy this priceless gem? Lots of extras, as well a film that you can watch many times without getting bored (how many films can say that about?).
BUY IT, Garrddammit, `cos this is classic moviemaking they just dont do anymore.
And, sadly, neither does Carpenter..

I have the R4 version which is letterbox as it`s coded Region 2/4 I assume the R2 version will be the same

The only non-anamorphic film I deemed worthy of buying, an absolute classic with great extras. Cannot understand why they didn`t anamorphisise(sic) it!?!

i remember going to the cinema to see it, noticed it in hmv(maidstone) today £4.99, is it worth getting this dvd, or will i find it a bit dated and not as good on a 28" tv / 5.1 speaker set up?

Buy it!You will not be disappointed.

the gooey effects are still yet to be bettered by anyone. A real benchmark of a movie.
It doesn`t seem dated at all, even 20 years on.

The images are great but nobody has mentioned the soundtrack!
The audio used in the opening scenes is brilliant.

Buy it.
