Region 4 Winners and Losers

    This film has been available for some time in Region 1, as a package deal with the sequel (Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise). The two movies are not on separate discs, though — they are on opposite sides of a double-sided single layered disc. Makes you suspect that this R4 disc is just one side of that disc, doesn't it? Well, no. The R1 disc has extras (OK, they are just a couple of trailers, but they are extras). And the R4 is PAL, not NTSC. And the R1 transfer is actually a little bit worse than the R4; that's possibly due to it being NTSC instead of PAL.

    All up, the R4 is slightly better, even without the extras. The single-sided disc is easier to handle, the transfer is better, and it's PAL. Besides, the second movie is dreadful, so we're better off without it!
