OK, so.......I've been checking this out this afternoon and here's what I can confirm.
It's definitely Region B locked.
Audio: English, French and German
(I assume the french and German audio is DTS MA. I haven't checked it out, because you cannot change the Audio from English on this one on my remote while the movie is playing for some strange reason. You can select from English, French or German menus screens at the start though when the disc boots up)
It includes the 23 min making of from the previous French Blu Ray Steelbook release along with a few other short bits and pieces. But it does also include a commentary from Verhoeven and Arnie.
Now, the biggest thing for me (and remember this is jusy MY personal opinion-the new transfer is not a patch on my old French copy. My old copy wins hands down. The new transfer looks like an old 1980's VHS. Very grainy and washed out. I can't see how they are supposed to have improved on this when, in my opinion, it looks worse. Especially as I put the two seperate Blu ray's on one after another and there is just no comparison for me. In the special features they include a hokey 'restoration comparisson' where a white line seperates the screen down the middle showing scenes from the movie where one half is supposed to be the old tansfer compared with the new. But the old transfer they put up on screen looks like an old 60's black and white movie. The older transfer never looked like this (it looks like those Disney piracy comparison clips they put up before the trailers on Disneys films)
This just makes me think they pulled a fast one with the transfer. Very dissappointed with it indeed
Now I stress again-this is just my personal opinion. I am sure there will be differences of opinions on this subject. But it has made my mind up for me that I will hold onto my old French copy for now and maybe try and sell this one on. Not worth the 25 Euro's in my mind
