New release Sign "O" the Times DUTCH DVD

It sucks ...

First of all: it's sped up!! Same speed as Moonrakers "Wonderboy"

Second: it's a copy of a VHS, a bad copy! Lots of litle light-dots and disturbances, and a very low resolution.

I think they really used Wonderboy to upgrade the sound-quality.

But the speed really annoys me ..... especially in "It's gonna be a beautiful night" which is sped up in the original release by purpose (why???). This DVD really contains the chipmunks-remix!

The image quality is very bad .... okay, it isn't dark like the brazilian version. but the quality of the brazilian version is better!

So after 16 years my taped TV-broadcast version of this movie is still the best!!! Correct speed and great quality.

Every version that appeared in the shops ... always something wrong with it.
There's a lot wrong with this dutch DVD release... so save your money!!!

I even prefer the Brazilian version.

Yes, I made the mistake of buying that too. I got it from BEST BUY out of all places. Did you also notice that the last song says it's "It", but it's actually "The Cross"? Craziness!! I wouldn't wish this DVD on my worst enemy! Haha!
