3 Ninjas Aspect Ratio Misprint? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Travis_W · 06-03-2003, 08:09 PM

I know most people could care less about this film and the DVD release of it today but this film was always apart of my childhood so I'm granting it a look. Many sources claim that it's fullscreen but the back cover claims widescreen 1.85:1. I was wondering if anyone knows that this a misprint or maybe it was just miscommunication between someone?
Any help would be appreciated because I'm planning on buying it tonight but if it's fullscreen...the thought makes me sick

.

Or I might just do this to the fullscreen disc if it proves to be the case:flush: .

The DVD could be both in fullscreen and widescreen format.
A few of the DVD's being released lately (i.e; National Security) are being released with both formats....

I have no idea is it's a misprint or not, but if it turns out to be a misprint please post is HERE so you can warn others.

It's a Buena Vista title, so that's definitely not the case. You can count on two hands the number of times they've released both versions on the same disc, and I can't think of any on a barebones-budget catalogue title.

False alarm. I decided to take a gamble on this one and it is indeed widescreen, non-anamorphic, but 1.85:1 nonetheless. It's funny though because on the back they say some players might not be able to access all the features...what features

I also love this bad boy, as it a part of my childhood also. I don't have the first one yet, but the other three have both widescreen and full screen on the one disk.
