Title Best
Beastmaster, The (Big Sky Video)R1
    The Region 4 version of this disc misses out on:
  • DTS-ES 6.1 discrete soundtrack
  • Dolby Digital EX 6.1 soundtrack
  • Half-hour behind the scenes video reel
  • Deleted scenes Easter egg
  • Cast and Crew Bios
    The Region 1 version of this disc misses out on:
  • English Subtitles
    The quality of the video transfer for both versions is almost identical, while the addition of a DTS-ES soundtrack for a 1982 movie is not particularly compelling. Even the behind the scenes footage is not particularly compelling - it is simply half an hour of very poor quality home video footage taken on the set during production, and can be quite tedious to watch. Only the deleted scenes - featuring more of Tanya Roberts naked - are of any interest, and then only depending on your persuasion. I will give this one to the R1 as a narrow win, but it is possible to be happy with either version, especially as the big-ticket extra - the commentary - has been included on the region 4.
