i watched this when i was about 10 for the first time and loved it then mainly coz it was so weird
this film also is what inspired the mighty boosh aswell
this was one of noel fieldings favorite films and i understand why

The review saying the soundtrack is cocked up is spot on. What they have done is put the feed from one of the stereo channels and spread it across both speakers. This means half of the music/soundtrack can't be heard (the throb noise made when Turner plugs in another cable, loads of the guitar during 'Poor White Hound Dog', Turner saying 'here's to old England').

The rest of the film looks and sounds great but how they could have made such a massive error on the sound track during the most crucial part of the entire movie is mystifying.

Incidentally I wrote to Warners to point out what had happened and asked if anything was being done but... ...no reply inevitably. So the greatest ever British gangster film's arrival on DVD is a huge disappointment.

One of the greatest and most powerful British movies ever made by one of the greatest and most chronically underappreciated British directors of all time. Performance is on a par with 'Bad Timing' as Roeg's richest and best work, it rewards many viewings and incidentally includes the first ever music video (featuring mick jagger), a must see, must own situation.

During the Memo From Turner sequence Jagger's line of dialogue "Here's to old England" is missing, its on the disc's French soundtrack and English subtitles. Don't buy until Warners correct the disc (IF they will)
