Country-selection top-menu (affects audio/subtitle/text selections - see below for explanations): Australia, Brazil (Portugese), Denmark, German, Spain, France, Mexico, Netherlands (Holland), Norway, Finland, Sweden, UK. Configuration extras' texts written in the selected country's language. Subtitles cannot be selected separately - eg one cannot watch film in French with German subtitles (for argument's sake). Selecting a top-menu country forces subtitles in that language - see following notes for more. The non-English film soundtracks appear when selecting France, Germany, Brazil, Spain respectively; these are not subtitled. However these also allow the English audio option as well (eg Germany has "German audio" & "English audio with forced German subtitles", etc). Cannot be switched during film, but only via disk menus. See following notes for more. The other countries only have English audio for the films, but with forced subtitles in their language - eg Mexico will play in English with forced Spanish (Latin American/"Mexican") subtitles. Except Australia, selecting the relevant country uses forced subtitles in that country's language during the film's English soundtrack. Thus the only way to watch the films in English with English subtitles is to select "UK" as the country, and allows English or English-with-subtitles audio options. "Australia" does not allow English subtitles anywhere.
Interview extra is English-only, with forced subtitles in the language of the country selected from the top-menu (except all English and Scandinavian countries' options have no subtitles).
Available as part of a Rambo Trilogy boxset. -
