FEATURES

The Menu system is can be configured to Spanish and English language versions. English audio
in 5.1 and Spanish Mono are the sound options giving the Spanish DVD buying public a bit of a
raw deal. As a result, ambient sounds are subdued.

Subtitles are in Spanish and English.

 

  The picture is presented in 16:9 anamorphic widescreen. The image quality is fine although compared
with the most recent versions, the colours are more washed-out. The credits which used to be in green
are now white.

In fact, greens are heavily muted throughout the movie. This may be a director approved copy of the
movie as Michael Mann is known to have prepared a colour-corrected version of the movie for
release this summer. 
 

 

EXTRAS

Just the US trailer. The lack of Anchor Bay supplements is disappointing though. Perhaps MGM did
not want to pay to license them and then have to subtitle the
m into Spanish .


     
SUMMARY

Simply, if you are Spanish speaking, this is the best  version of Manhunter to own.This is the true cinema version with
dialogue excised from the Anchor Bay version present and correct.
