Taking of Pelham One Two Three BD (1974)

[HummerUK]

Browsing play.com future BD releases I noted "Taking of Pelham One Two Three" with Robert Shaw.

Not till June however and I note it is already on sale in the USA so I have ordered that.

This is fantastic film.. I watched it again about a month ago and was transported back to the 1970's.. BTW the score by David Shire is Brilliant too. God I lerve this movie Why did they have to remake it??

The US Blu-ray isn't bad at all. PQ is dark and grainy, as well it should be, and the lossless mono audio is clean enough.

Robert Shaw, oh yes!

I WILL be getting this. Thanks for the heads up.

US Blu-ray is region free as well

UK release of this would appear to be defective based on Amazon feedback.

I am glad I bought the American release.

You daft bugger, you frightened me to death!

I bought this when the UK disc was released. I did what I always do - I ripped it to a HDD in MKV, then put it on the shelf.

When I read your comments I thought it was a flawed transfer or something - maybe excessive DNR or EE or something.

But it appears the problem is with discs playing at all - maybe an error in the region coding. As I have a multi-region player, and will probably watch the ripped version (it ripped successfully, BTW), I should have no problems.

Thanks for the heads up, anyway.

Had a mild panic since I had't bothered to check mine, but it played fine in my unmodified Panny 310.
