@Noodles
I ended up swapping it with this disc from the Miramax double feature blu ray.
You have a disc with the two movies on it - but it is the correct aspect ratio, and looks fine.
(The bit rate may be slightly lower than if it was on a maxed out single disc by itself- but, really, it looks just fine). It's the only version in region 'A' that is correct. (As far as I know - it was a while ago when I did this).

Thanks for the info! I guess it's pointless me hunting that down if it's region A though. Oh well... I'm sure I've watched the disc I have before and enjoyed it all the same, so I'll just make do for now.

BTW- did the OP accidentally misspell "Media" - or is their name really "Medea"?!!
(And isn't that a Tyler Perry character?!)

I did wonder that myself, but I just copied and pasted the info/name Kimchi provided, so the typo's on them if it is wrong.

There may be an alternative copy from region B.
Yeah - there is a dutch one, and france and italy have ones that are correct aspect (according to what I have read). If you can get one of those for cheap and swap them out that would work.

Love this movie. That lenticular slip back art
I'm liking both slips & would've gone for the one click but from the discussion above it seems this is getting the ****** discs, so i'm gonna wait and see what the prices are before ordering.

Been looking at this and like the full slip but following the discussion above is it worth buying as not sure if the discussion is saying this is a bad version disc wise.

Please note I don't already have it on Bluray but like the film and the set and would get at some point

It is bad in the sense that the visual outlook of the film is not what the director intended.

Going from 2.35 : 1 to 1.78 : 1 is a big difference. 24% of the image has been brutally cropped off to fit it in a widescreen TV frame.

Personally, I love the black bars on my TV when it means that I'm seeing the film in the aspect ratio it was meant to be seen.

Thanks that's really helpfully and I completely agree. Will pass on this one until a better disc becomes available.

Thanks for the response

Are we sure that the discs in this set are going to be the incorrect aspect ratio?
As @Ranavalone mentioned - there already has been a US release that said 1.78 when it was actually 2.35.

I just sent an inquiry to NovaMedia's CS, if they could verify the aspect ratio with the distributor, ARA Media. I have no contact information for ARA Media.

These releases would be interesting if they come with the correct AR discs.

Thanks! @Ranavalone
There was a digibook release back in 2002 (with incorrect AR) from Korea - which would not be a good sign....except it was a company called GreenNarae - so that may not matter.
It would be great if they responded to your inquiries and put this to bed.

About the AR...

Got a quick reply from Novamedia support saying that they don't know, as it's not their "own release".

Sent a second email asking for contact information for ARA Media, but didn't receive a response to that.

Next stop is Tony @ KimchiDVD, I guess

You run that up the chain of commander, sir!! Solve that mystery!!
I'm in it for the packaging this time.
I can always put better discs inside. (That's what I had to do with the steelbook version, too.)

Well, I know that you must own the version with the famous "FORGET THE MATRIX" quote!

Hey, congrats @AlienKing !
I think I'll know who's responsible if all of a sudden the site becomes weirdly Kate Beckinsale-centric!
