Eh? Yes there are. Unleashed is the US version of Danny The Dog (I thought), Danny The Dog is the European version.

The big problem I had with DTD was mainly Morgan Freeman and his daughter. They are just TOO sweet, know what I mean? Looks like it's straight out of a disney-flick, especially with Morgan's Heehee-hooohoo laughter all the time and wise old man words...
I know it's important to the plot for daddny to suddenly realise respect and love etc, but it could have been showed differently. Perhaps by showing a father and son, where the father is still strict but in respectfull way, and also with real love etc. So dad and kid playing together and fake-fighting together, all that stuff...
I felt Morgan and his daughter were just a bit unrealistic in todays' society.

Jet Li was good, but that didnt surprise me. He has real acting talent and lots of charisma. People are often quick to throw an action-actor in the category of non-talented actors, and in this case they'd be wrong.

I agree with you about Freeman Yi, Morgan Freeman is an excellent actor but his character was a cliché IMO

Are they different cuts? If it's just the title that is different, I couldn't care less.

"This slightly longer version features additional character development scenes between Danny and Sam, as well as, naturally, a different title card. The final scene is also different, closing on a shot of Danny's face rather than a piano. All in all, the differences, while not groundbreaking by any means, make this "European cut" more character-based than its brisker American variant."

Something I like about DTD is that you don´t really know if the story is really set today or in the past or even in the future.

But I have to agree with you Yi and also with Grim: Those too are just too nice to be real, as well as Freeman´s role is a cliché.

Is the R4 of Mr. vengeance any good ?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 02 Aug 2006, 16:48

Eva says it has a subtitled commentary, interviews and a Native-PAL (his word for progressive) transfer, I think?

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 02 Aug 2006, 16:50

Aw oki oki. Sounds good then.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 03 Aug 2006, 11:52

For some reason my R4 of Mr Vengeance is missing?!

No, I mean film-to-PAL. But the transfer would be progressive as well though.
