Summary: Who said Subway ?
Review: Thanks to Luc Besson and UAV Entertainment (Luc, did you sell your soul with that great movie's copyrights ?) not to include the original soundtrack on a DVD featuring a french movie that is not even out in France ! The images look like they've been stone-washed in some italian wash-machine... Shame on you Luc ! They're not that good at "entertainment"...

Summary: Great Movie, worst transfer to DVD!
Review: I paid $7 for the DVD, and it is still too much. Too bad that this Luc Besson movie(The Messenger, Nikita, The professional, the 5th Element..) was so poorly transfered. The quality is worst than a video. One of the rare French movie dubbed in English. The dubbing takes all the actor's game. If you can find the original copy, in French, you will find one of the greatest classic French movie of the 80's. DO NOT BUY THIS DVD! (and if you HAVE to buy it, let me know I will sell you my $7 copy!One of a kind colelctor's item

Summary: VERY POOR QUALITY DVD, WAIT ANOTHER RELEASE
Review: Unfortunately I bought it because I like Luc Besson's movies. No French soundtrack, very poor image quality, no subtitles, and full screen ... AVOID IT (I give it one star because it's the lowest rating, but it does not even worth it!)

Summary: Achetez le en France
Review: Si vous vouliez acheter Subway ici, car il s'agit d'un film absolument formidable (un peu viellot peut etre) eh bien n'en faites rien! A moins bien sur que vous ne souhaitiez ecouter la voix de Galabru doublée par un texan de je ne sais ou!!! Pas de version originale, mal encodé, etc.. Quel domage...

Summary: Great Movie - Awful DVD
Review: This is one of the great movies of the 80's. True, it's a little dated now but still it's a classic of the period and remains some of Besson's and Lambert's best work. I'd strongly recommend not watching let alone buying this English only version. If you've seen the original you'll be disappointed, if you haven't you'll wonder what drug those positive reviewers were on. There is/was a PAL format VHS, in French with English subtitles, worth owning if you have a switchable format player. Otherwise lets hope someone produces a better DVD version of this classic.

Summary: Great Film but very bad transfer
Review: I love the film. It is a very good Pop Art film with its one of a kind characters. The transfer to DVD though is terrible. It looks like the transfer was done from a VCR tape that was played too many times. I hope that the original movie company re-issues it in Film Quality condition with all the DVD extras.

Summary: Experience the butchering of a great film
Review: It never occurred to me when I bought this DVD that anyone would use the multi-language DVD format to ruin a brilliant movie by providing only an English dubbed version (badly dubbed at that). What were they thinking?

Summary: buckle up for a wild ride
Review: I haven't seen the DVD (which from what I've read is good). I do own the un-cut French language version on VHS. Its nice to see that an action adventure movie can be made without extreme violence or predictable "Die Hard" style plots. "Subway" is a dazzling, exciting, and funny look at the Metro's underworld of eccentric characters. Great cast featuring Christophe Lambert as the likable safecracker and Jean-Hughes Anglade as the misfit skater. But its Isabelle Adjani who steals the show - her scene at the formal dinner table is funnier than Bruce Willis could ever hope to be.

Summary: Non-subtitled Version Laughable
Review: Having seen this film in the theater in 1985, I recommended it to many of my friends as one of the more enjoyable movie experiences of my life. Unfortunately, all that seems to be commercially available is the English dubbed version, which fails to capture the mood of the original film (the poor quality of the dubbing is jarring)

Summary: Great film BUT DON'T BUY THIS DVD
Review: The quality of this DVD is REALLY TERRIBLE. It is obviously transferred from a VHS tape. The sound quality is not "Dolby digital stereo" as is stated on the case, but a very low quality 2 channel analog. The picture is full screen only, and although it is "formatted for worldwide use" I'm sure Europeans will be disappointed with the low quality of the NTSC picture. Worst of all, the film is dubbed in English with no options to choose the original French dialog. Compare this to Luc Besson's La Femme Nikita where the producers got it right; widescreen, French and dubbed English dialog with subtitles. The film itself is great stuff and a classic. Thus the 5 stars. Why Mr. Besson ever gave his permission for this release, "It's only mystery".
