The steelbook is missing the 2nd Blu ray disk with the other cuts of the film, its a 2 disk set, 1 Blu of the final cut and 1 dvd of the final cut, whereas the 3 disk set is 2 Blu - final cut on disk 1 and Directors/Theatrical cuts on disk 2, and the soundtrack. Zavvi got their details wrong (weather through misinformation or just an error on their part hasnt been confirmed, but surely someone at Zavvi has some explaining to do on how they can get the details wrong on their own exclusive...)

Thank you for the clarification on this. I'm now torn as to which version to get. The 3disc set is sooo expensive on amazon and has inferior packaging. The zavvi version is cheaper but incomplete. !

Great job on the inside artwork

 

[Steeler]

Just received this. It was my most wanted steelbook, Zavvi made some good artwork adjustment and I couldn't wait to get it in my hands. Now I've got it, and I have to say it was pretty disappointing that they didn't do a glossy finish on this one. I don't think gloss suits all steelbook, but with this artwork it would have been my favourite steelbook this year. I don't mind the matt finish on the back though

Zavvi has never done a flat glossy steelbook yet.

Zavvi has never done a flat glossy steelbook yet.

The white and black Star Treks immediately spring to mind.

Wish there was a Lord Summerisle image on the back instead of the font.

Wish there was a Lord Summerisle image on the back instead of the font.

If you look closely I think you'll be able to spot him in the illustration, but a Summerisle illustration on the back would've been cool

Hi!

Can someone tell me if there is french audio or french subtitles on this one?

Thanks

Hi!

Thanks

No French audio or subtitles I'm afraid. Just English

Great film and transfer btw!

 

[Hydromantic]

Too bad! I love this movie! Thanks anyway
