Title Best
World's Fastest Indian, The: Collector's EditionR4

    My Region 1 version arrived a few months ago and came as a fairly nondescript single-disc release with completely different (quite uninspiring if the truth be told) artwork on both the cover slick and the disc. I'd have to say on the packaging quality alone, the Australian Region 4 disc is a clear winner, but let's take a closer look at the content differences to provide the full picture.

    The Australian Region 4 disc misses out on;

  • Spanish subtitles.

    The US Region 1 disc misses out on;

  • English Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack
  • Hour long Paul Holmes interview with Roger Donaldson
  • Full colour Collector's booklet.
  • Cardboard slip case with fold out artwork inside.

    Significantly superior and far classier packaging plus a couple of additional extras see a clear win to the Region 4 disc, despite the glaring omission of English subtitles. Remember though, this is the Australian Region 4 disc and I would be very keen to know if this is the same disc available across the Tasman. It would be easy to understand our Kiwi cousins being treated to an extra special release of what became their most successful film of all time. If I don't get any feedback from a Kiwi reader I'll be sure to pick up a copy when I visit New Zealand in late April '07 and I'll update the review accordingly.
