The Last Boyscout

Menu:

Widescreen vs. Fullscreen:

The transfer has to be seen in-person to see how awful it truly is. Dirt and noise reduction found along with MPEG-2
compression. Obvious cropping too. The fullscreen side is terrible. Don't go near it.

LOL @ the fullscreen; it's absolutely terrible!

One of the worst I've ever seen. The fullscreen shot of Bruce with the puppet is a joke.

Thankfully most people in the UK now "get" Widescreen, even if they still ultimately don't care.

It's not a puppet! It's Furry Tom!

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. I get really annoyed when people go to me 'can't you get rid of the black bars?!' when we're watching a 2.35:1 film...

Okay you've got me there.

Just tell them to sit closer to the screen.

Of course, my mistake.

Why do you still insist on zooming 4:3 OAR DVDs?

this was a flipper release i think that provided both options.a great movie badly in need of a decent upgrade release.

The R2 only has widescreen.
