Battlefield Baseball. R1 USA DVD Specifications. Released May 3rd 2005.

(Posted In)

battlefield.jpegIn case you're looking for a R1 disc of this film, it has been long in the works. Hopefully not too long, as there are still those who at least wanted to see this in the not too distant past. Anyhow, Subversive have finally managed to get it done, and have posted at DVDManiacs a long list of all the extras (7 Hours worth), plus specifications for the quality of the discs. I've seen this listed for $20, about £10 - so it's good value.

Norm Hill from Subversive says it contains :

A brand new 5.1 mix only on the Subversive release, A new 16x9 widescreen (1:85.1) grain reduced transfer only on the Subversive release. All of the following extras are fully subtitled only on Subversive release. Full length commentary track with cast and crew. 2 Making of documentaries. Deleted scenes and outtakes. Karaoke Video. Two short KUBRICK figure versions of the film. Short film, Ramen. Battlefield Baseball Premier in Japan. 3 Battlefield Baseball trailers. Trailers for upcoming Subversive Cinema releases.

The Subversive site has been updated and give details of some other upcoming projects and releases. Can't see any sign of Shinya Tsukamoto film 'Gemini' yet though...

Looking at the site I saw that they are going to release Mutations, under the really crappy name Freakmaker. Hurray!! Been waiting for this gem a long time.

There are reviews of this disc online at DVD Verdict and DVD Talk. Looks like it's a pretty good disc.

I'm definitely getting this. It's just too bad it wasn't released sooner. Would've saved me $80 on the Tornado Box.

I don't know if you're aware of this site or not, but Asian Cult Cinema has been selling Battle field baseball on their site for almost a year, and they also have that movie Gemini too. I've bought quite a few movies from them before and I was happy with them. Both those movies are listed as playable for all regions, although when I bought Battle Royale from them the xtras were all in Japanese.

What they've got there is bootleg. This is legit.
