has anyone ever watch one of these bootlegged movies . what do i mean ? well my brother -in -law know this guy who gets movies on dvd that are in the theatres right now , i got resident evil 2 on dvd right now and about to watch it in my living room . i have seen acouple other movies like this but it is funny , alls it is is a guy who goes to the movie theatre with a video camera and a small tripod he tries to sit all the way in the back and then he sets up the camera . well during some of the movies i seen you can see people get up to go get popcorn or sodas during the movie or you can hear them laughing at some punch line , alot of the time the sound is way bad because the theatre is so loud that the little mic on the video cam get all garbled and loud . but the pic is usually clear and you can get the idea of whatthe movie is about . well justwondering if yall have seen any of these ..
Apart from the fact that bootlegging like this is illegal - any film i'm interested in I wouldn't WANT to see like this. And any film I'm not interested in.. I'm not interested in.
They look horrible, is better to own the original. I just have seen Shrek 2 because we didn't have anything to do in the last days of my biology class. It was black and white, the sound was horrible and I preferred the one I saw in the theatres the day it came out.
I bought a few bootleg dvd's at the comic con. They were movies that at the time were damn near impossible to find elsewhere for a decent price. I got...
Salo: 120 Days of Sodom
Shaun of the Dead (this was a good 3 months before it opened in theaters, and at that time I didn't even think it would have a big release here in the states, had I known I probably wouldn't have bought it.)
Cannibal Holocaust.
if im really desperate to see a movie before it hits cinema then i will probably get a bootlegged dvd...this chap i know sells them for £2.50..
i recently bought saw

I despise pirate movies. Only one I have seen which was a bootleg was Ong Bak which my brother bought with him when he came to stay, they sell them in the shops over where he lives in the far east so he is always buying them, tut tut.
If a film hasn't been shown in the cinema here yet or on dvd yet, I either buy it on a dvd region where it's out or wait till it is shown.
they are not all horrible, many many dvd quality rips are out while films are in the theater.. so ill see it in the theater if its good, but after that if you wanna watch it again you download the dvd drip because paying to see it gets expensive..
Thanks to draconian BBFC rules the only way to see some horror films here and in the UK is on so called bootleg. As Tobe Hooper once said somewhere "At least you're getting to see them!"
I'd never pick a pirate copy over a legitimate release but if it's NEVER going to be available in the local video shop then there's only one way to go!

If u get a propper DVD rip it is exactly the same as the original dvd no loss of quality and u still have everything the original had menues, extras ect if done properly. Most that have been ripped and converted to vcd are not very good quality (wich means compressing the original from about 6 gig to about 700 mb so its no wonder thos ones r crap lol). But one ripped properly and un converted and put on a dvdR r the same as the bought one. Most downloads r shite and i wouldnt even watch 1 of them cam in the cinema jobbies

most downloads are not shite, not if you have a clue what you are doing. riping a dvd and making an svcd can look almost identical to a real dvd. Plus while movies are in theaters dvd screeners get leaked out which dont have menus but have the same quality.
yea its not the same but its damn close if done right. It easy to rent a dvd and put it on a single cdr and have it still look dvd quality and pop it in a dvd player and run it smoothly. Most people would never know the difference either
