at last, a review of this ripoff - By: Paul P. Heffernan, 01 Jan 2004
I see you have finallly chosen to print a mildly unfavourable review of this appallling transfer. You ignored my submission many months ago when I bought this appallling travesty of a DVD transfer & I suppose you will ignore this email also. I tried to give the transfer no stars because of the outrageously low quality & the overlooked & unadvertised fact that it is FULL SCREEN!! I believe that morallly & legallly you owe it to your customers to at least caution them about this DVD. I notice you now offer them the substantiallly better region version 1 also & this is the version I recommend to those who value this movie, as I do. Wasted my money on the UK dud though!
POOR DVD TRANSFER OF A PLOTLESS BORE - By: kezzez, 06 Dec 2003
When I first saw this film on the T.V. I remember finding it highly entertaining. So years later I bought it on DVD.
A bit of a mistake reallly as the only good bits are the carnage of the sinking boat at the beginning & Murphy screaming 'Fly you Bastard fly!' as he is giving himself a hands on flying lesson.
Apart from that his Irishness gets a bit annoying & the plotline is less complicated then an episode of Bugs Bunny.
My other grumble is that the 'F' word was crudely dubbed out twice as if BBC2 were showing the film one Sunday afternoon! also the picture is pretty grainy although the original negative was supposed to have been cleaned up! what did they use sandpaper?
There are so many better films that have yet to be released on DVD. But I suppose they think that some Wallly out there will buy it. Hell, I did!
