Most Film Festival guys like anything thats shown to them as they are all sheep, one person hoots and hollas and loves a film and everyone else follows. Or one peson boos and the rest join in, its not the way to watch a film thats for sure.

Shinobi is a great little film.
I almost had to sell a kidney to buy the japanese disc, so I won't be upgrading for a while. :D
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".

It looks identical to the R4 which is Native-PAL. Pick whichever is cheaper.

Oh really brad, you got your R1 copy bloody early to compare the Audio/visual to the R4! Remember: There's more to DVDs than just their bleedin specs. :P

I've not ordered any version but hear the R4 has a good transfer and is Native-PAL so going by other Madman titles should be good.

Of course there is Mr. Obvious ;) but seeing as no one is going to buy both I was just pointing out the R4 looks to be the same so you may as well get the cheapest. If YOU want to buy both just to make sure by all means go ahead.

Some idiot once tried to tell me they have films on them. I just put them on the shelves to impress the ladies.

The laydees definitely dig a man with a large selection, just ask romero why he co-ordinates all his DVDs.

We all know that e-tailer DVD spec listings should be taken with a grain of salt.

I.e. Loads of e-tailers said that the R1 of Babel would be a 2-discer and the end it wound up being barebones.

Anyway, the R1 of Shinobi should be decent in the PQ/sound department at least. FUNimation's DVDs have been pretty solid in the past.

The R4 is 1 disc and fits all those extras one. I doubt they're that long.
