Inaccuracies on DVD packaging

[Jon]

My record is Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

It isn't anamorphic, despite what it says on the box.
It doesn't have 5.1 AC-3 surround sound anywhere on the disc. No, it has 1 channel mono instead.
And it has a Spanish soundtrack, not French.

Oh dear. Anyone else found any others?

Thats all I have to say

Lots of, sometimes quite pleasant. For ex., eXistenZ has DD 5.1 sound, not Dolby Surround as shown on the box, this title, like all the titles made by Buena Vista, contains English subtitles, not advertised anyhow on package, the same situation is with Saving Private Ryan DTS, Thin Red Line's picture is anamorphic, what is not shown on the disc, same with almost all Columbia/Tristar titles (the only widescreen not anamorphic disc of them discovered by me being 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'), but a reversed situation when something that is advertised on the package isn't actually present on the disc, or actual disc feature is 'deficient' compared with what is advertised, is not rear. Examples are: Image's Prince of Darkness (neither closed captions nor subtitles, advertised on the package), Universal's Jesus Xst Superstar (sound is not DD 5.0 but DD 4.0), Fox's Home Alone& Home Alone 2 (sound is DD 2.0 Stereo, not DD 2.0 Surround), Miramax's Marvin's Room (same problem), Image's Monthy Python's Meaning of Life (same problem). Ok, that's what I remember.

Check out Das Boot The Director's Cut.
It says "Presented in the original theatrical aspect ratio, approx. 1:85.1"
Now that would be a widescreen presentation

Actually, Dom, wouldn't that be a tallscreen presentation?
