iTunes doesn't allow grab to take a screenshot, so I just photographed the screen..

As far as I know, this is him. He appears ONLY in this shot..

You have never felt pain until you've trodden barefoot on an upturned lego brick..

AAAAAAaaaAAaAahAhhHH, gotcha. I was looking at the guy hanging from the mirror.

Tell you what tho, the attention to little details like that in the film constantly astounds me. We're very lucky to have a film that pays the source material such respect.

Fisticuffs

Maybe not enough to count as an Easter Egg, but when Dredd brings up the photos of the three perps that get skinned at the start, the middle one has a black Union Jack T-shirt on. :D

For anyone who cares, I can confirm the UK blu-ray has a more saturated/contrasty image than the US release.

Interesting. Any reason given, or ideas why this should be, Joe?
Comparing the two photos, the US one does look good. Though im happy enough with the UK version.

Probably has something to do with NTSC vs. PAL.

The terms NTSC & PAL do not apply to high definition formats. No reason all Blu-Ray discs can't use identical transfers.

For some reason my PS3 isnt playing through the surround sound system at the mo so I had to listen to it through the tv speakers. I had the same effect with the bass sounds vibrating massively. I moved the wii sensor bars and everything in case they were affecting it. Glad its not just my new tv has rattly speakers :)

Fixed it, so with any luck the same might work for you. Bring up the pop-up on-screen menu during playback (it's the triangle button if you're using a normal controller) and find the volume control on it. Reduce the volume output from the PS3 to around -2 or -3 (I think it goes from about -5 to +5) and increase the volume on your TV to compensate. Worked for me anyway, I have perfectly clear sound now. Strange that I haven't had to make adjustments for any other discs though.

The sound on Dredd is the most dynamic I've heard on a Blu-Ray.

This is the best quote we could ever have hoped for and should be on every piece of promotion for this film from this moment on:

I wonder if he was being ironic?
