One of my favorites is now out on Blu-Ray. Time to revisit Warflag's Red Shadow page and grab one of Gringo 40's Raisuli figures.

And being a Warner Archive disc, the US BD is almost certainly region-free, which means it can be played on any machine regardless of the country you live in. I'll be able to confirm that in a few days when my own copy comes in courtesy of Amazon.com.

Excellent. Can't wait to re-see the scene with the US Marines double-timing through the streets to the rousing sound of John Paul Sousa's 'Semper Fidelelis' march.

I take it that a Dutch import would play in the UK?
Might be worth waiting until we buy a Blu-Ray player?? (Just bought our first flat Screen TV lol. It's a Smart TV too so i'm a bit stumped with all this new gingum techno stuff lol lol)

It will : The Netherlands and the UK are both part of region 2, which encompasses all of western Europe

That would be my recommendation, especially as BD players are dirt cheap these days, and the leap in picture quality is quite spectacular compared to DVD.
I take it the Dutch import you're referring to is the disc linked below :

It certainly is cheap enough but if you love the film and want to see it in the best PQ available, go for the region-free U.S BD :

I picked up Zulu Dawn from the bargain bin in Walmart yesterday for less than $10. It nicely replaces my well worn UK VHS copy and was cheaper than anywhere I could find online (including Walmart!)

The Warner Archives US Blu-Ray landed in my mailbox today : I can confirm it is region-free and will play on machines world-wide. Excellent transfer too, with a picture quality that is way superior to that of the DVD edition.
