Apparently no english subs (only finnish, swedish, danish and norwegian). Extras are listed as: Exclusive interview with Chan-Wook Park from Stockholm filmfestival, Billy Chainsaw Film Notes, Alternative scenes, trailer...
Seems a bit thin on the extras department for a 2 DVD release, so maybe it includes the 'fade to black' version on a second disc (or all extras are not listed).

Yup. I'm starting to hate that "Kill Bill yellow".
edit: Also, I dislike the title "Lady Vengeance". IMO, it's much better with the "Sympathy for" prefix.

Huh, the R1 is 112 minutes long? The Korean release is 115 minutes as is the botched up Tartan R2 (NTSC to PAL conversion). What kind of anomaly is the R1 then? A PAL to NTSC conversion? How do they manage to be so incompetent? There's no logic in this. It's as if they had a proper PAL transfer and a proper NTSC transfer of the film -- only they decided to release the respective transfers in the wrong region.
Let's not assume that Aiv when you don't know it's a standards conversion. That Korean DVD looks a bit ropey in comparison. I don't remember it being that dark.
I'm "only" upgrading to a Trilogy box set personally and only then if SFMV and SFLV get a new transfer. If they don't I'll just pick up the SFMV R1 and be done with it.

That the spirt Bradavon, come on get the nice boxset . Hehe, but hope there is an online store, that sells it at a reasonable price. I really hope they get new transfer, otherwise to be honest it would be Tartan just throwing their money away in the water if they do another NTSC->PAL. Granted it may be cheaper, but come-on, be like Madman Now and do the films some justice.
Also while you there, release My Sassy Girl:DC (I have the korean version, but would love extras), Failan (Again got Korean version but want to see the making of films and other extras), and lastly Fly me to Polaris (and include the OST with extras - I have the Hong kong version but would love an anamorphic version of this)
Just to clarify there wouldn't be any money wasted as they'd be reusing the one shitty one already paid for.
My Sassy Girl has to be THE most asked for Korean film of Western English speaking studios yet not one seems interested in releasing it. That's across 3 continents and 6 countries. Jeez you'd think they'd get the message.

He he cheers. One of the biggest draws is the extras but those alone aren't enough. SFMV/SFLV need to have decent extras + transfer. I already have a decent transfer for SFLV.
No one is allowed to release the DC of My Sassy Girl outside of Asia (EVER).
And the TC isn't interesting enough for a distributor to sell it.
Fly me to Polaris and Failan would be nice, though.
I used to be "the man who loves the movies you hate".
Now I'm just "that weird french guy with a cat avatar who comes to BnB once a year for no reason and then disappears again".
