which region :The Killer

[d.boyd1uk]

basically what is the best one to buy?

[Brian Blessed Badger]

A tricky choice, the contestants are

1. The Criterion edition - non-anamorphic,OOP and very pricey
2. The HK edition - reasonable non-anamorphic and cheap
3. The Fox Lorber edition - reasonable non-anamorphic andsome extras
4. The Gans French 2 disc edition - Anamorphic, an additional longer Tiawanese cut of the film - but no English subs on the main version - but i understand the longer cut has english subs burnt in
5. The HKL version - not out yet but will be by far the best

so - if you can wait the HKL is the one

Otherwise either Fox Lorber or the HK disc - unless you can read French of course

Just two quick questions...

First, Are the ( French ) subtitles removable on the French disc of THE KILLER, and secondly, are the French subtitles removable on the Beat Kitano double-editions ?

Thanks !

Disc 1 - Theatrical Cut = French Subs are permanent/non-removeable if you choose Cantonese language
Disc 2 - Korean Cut = French Subs are removeable leaving burnt in English subs visible
