"The 2003 version has the unique advantage of the seamless branching with subtitles for the parts not dubbed. The special edition has not, in fact the director's cut can be viewed only with Italian subtitles. "The Italian track is ok, but the real star is the DD 5.1 English, tells me riki , "is a beauty." Obviously, this is important, given the kind of movie. "The Italian subtitles are accurate in the special edition of English translation. The Italian dubbing is altogether discreet in their choice of voice actors (Massimo Giuliani is perfect for John Belushi, Piero Tiberi also gets along well), but inadequate in adapting English. Reported di séguito da Wikipedia un paio di errori/libertà, tra i tanti: « Curtis, tu sei il solo che ha suonato per noi l'arpa in cantina." Evidentemente i traduttori dell'epoca sono incappati in un false-friend, traducendo harp con arpa anziché con armonica. Per contro, l'originale battuta: Elwood "...è partito un pistone", Jake "Poi torna?", Elwood "No!", è stata introdotta dai doppiatori italiani (nella versione originale suona: Jake "...è grave?", Elwood "Sì!") » " riki333

Soliti inconvenienti dubbing, especially comedies (NdDan)!

Universal A more than decent in both cases. Both are anamorphic, the master is obviously original. What changes then? If any difference is very obvious (though there is) between the two director's cut, is very clear, in some cases, a superior film version: the more information of the picture, better definition, colors more accurately. This is certainly because the transfer of the payment has been made recently, while Dir. cut is a re-encoding of the same master. The 2-disc release recently, finally, you should also view the presence of subtitles making of and other extras, however, because even philological more complete!

Blu-ray this immortal classic (Landis of the golden age, his masterpiece) was announced a year from now, or maybe more, and yet there are dates, it seems not to want to go out, which it is amazing given the level of sales! Should we be concerned, Universal?
