ESCAPE FROM THE BRONX dutch DVD; any good?

Does anybody have this DVD? Is it any good?

According to an ebayseller it's in anamorphic widescreen where the Vipco R2UK is non-anamorphic. To complicate matters there's also an australian DVD which is anamorphic but which is supposed to have much worse picture quality than the Vipco DVD. I guess what i'm saying is which DVD of Bronx Warriors 2 should you own?

Or: where could I get this for a cheap price and find out myself?

Dutch website of Free Recors Shop offers it for 9,94 euro, which includes shipping. I think they only ship domestically, but it'll give you a clue what you should be spending.
It's good you brought it to attention. I didn't know about this release, even though it's apparently out since january 2006. Distributor is Dutch Film Works.

Here are the specs according to Bol.com:
Taalkeuze: Engels
Ondertiteling: Nederlands
Beeld: 16:9 Anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1)
Geluid: Dolby Digital 2.0
EAN 8715664029107

Region 2 of course. Also available from Dutch Film Works: 1990 The Bronx Warriors EAN 8715664029015

It's in my collection. I don't know much about technical specs, but it looked to me like a VHS-version. Don't expect a remastered version and it's allright...

Thanks for the info. Sounds like the Vipco R2UK is still the ideal version of this fun film.

Some real lable should pick this up, Vipco isn't to be trusted in my book.

No, but I found this on OFDB:

"Laufzeit: 1:23:35 identisch mit der Vipco-Fassung aus England. Diese soll angeblich um 14 sec. geschnitten sein. BBFC gibt jedoch an, dass die Schnitte gegenüber der Kinofassung zurückgenommen wurden (11 sec. länger). Sollten also tatsächlich immer noch einige Sec. fehlen, dann liegt das vermutlich daran, dass kein gutes Master vorhanden ist, welches diese Szene enthält. "

Babel Fish translation:

"Running time: 1:23: 35 identically to the Vipco version from England. This is allegedly around 14 seconds. cut its. BBFC indicates however that the cuts were taken back in relation to the cinema version (11 seconds. longer). Thus actually still some seconds should. it is missing then that is probably because of the fact that no good master is present, which contains this scene."
