Dead Man DVD case format? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

timmytimmy · 03-01-2004, 12:14 AM

I have recently experienced a little problem. I would love to buy Dead Man, the Jim Jarmusch film starring Johnny Depp, but I don't know what kind of case the DVD comes in. Of course, I am referring to snapper or keepcase. I have never seen a copy in store, nor can I figure it out from online retailers. They don't tell me in the disc specs, and won't show show me a picture. I just don't want to order it from somewhere and get a snapper, since I hve banned them from my collection. Now please, don't turn this into another "you're crazy for not buying movies because of the case they're in" arguement. There are plenty of threads for that. I just want a quick answer. Thank you!

Buena Vista Home Entertainment are the distributors of it...and they don't release movies in snappers. Even if it was in a snapper, you could have always bought a blank keepcase, and printed out some cover art for it.

It's an Amaray style keep case, not a snapper.

I just checked on deepdiscountdvd and they list it as having a keep case.

I own this dvd and it is indeed a keepcase

Although Dead Man is not my favorite Jarmusch film (that would be Down By Law), it's worth picking up. Great transfer and good extras.

Johnny Depp is great, as well as Robert Mitchum, this being his last movie.
