The runtime of the NTSC AWE disc is 92:27.

The runtime of the Arrow PAL disc is 92:42.

Savage Streets DVD Review

great review, but where's this uncut I Spit On Your Grave??? all editions i have dont feature the bottle scrnr from the rape as in the old Astra vhs, so how are they uncut?

[Nosferatu@Cult Labs]

I meant to put the original Last House on the Left is now uncut, not I Spit on Your Grave. Thanks for the spot -- I'll correct that as soon as I can.

[Nosferatu@Cult Labs]

That's now sorted -- sorry for any confusion.

When I have the time, I intend to review the 3 disc Ultimate Edition of The Last House on the Left and it will be pretty fresh as I haven't seen it for ages. It may seem slightly weird to compare such a notorious film and prominent 'video nasty' to Savage Streets, but they are both rape-revenge movies and were both cut by the BBFC on release before recently having those cuts waived.

PAL runtime of 92.27 would be 88.58.
Its 4% difference so 4% of 92.27 is not +15secs, PAL run times are slower then NTSC as its a speed up not speed down.

But he's stating the PAL runtime is almost the same as the NTSC runtime -- therefore something fishy is up with Arrow's transfer.

[nekromantik]

oh right. in that case yes. it is deffo not a native PAL transfer
if arrow could not get a PAL transfer then at lest tell us on here.

A NTSC-PAL conversion - if done properly, can look pretty good but if not then..

One of the reasons I'll actually stick to my AWE disc.
The main reason being... this is not a blu-ray!

The technical thread was closed so i've posted here for now. My savage streets came today but the audio is slightly out of sync, my other dvds work fine so was just wondering if anyone can tell me if theres does the same?
