Comments on: BMW The Hire Short Films – Beat The Devil http://paultan.org/2006/05/26/bmw-the-hire-short-films-beat-the-devil/ Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:59:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: MK84 http://paultan.org/2006/05/26/bmw-the-hire-short-films-beat-the-devil/#comment-39856 MK84 Mon, 29 May 2006 11:04:19 +0000 http://paultan.org/archives/2006/05/26/bmw-the-hire-short-films-beat-the-devil/#comment-39856 There are two version of the first season DVD. The first version includes The Follow, the second does not. The second season DVD has all season one and season 2 shorts including The Follow. It's worth getting the DVD. The transfer is good and audio is Dolby Digital 5.1 The only minus point is the video is not in native anamorphic format. Rather it's like letterboxed widescreen on 4:3 screen. Managed to get my hands on the few remaining copies before they cease distribution last time. There are two version of the first season DVD.
