Bought this R2 dvd cheap from Amazon uk before xmas. The box said "Regular" picture format, Suitable for all TVs.

Presuming it was 4:3 I never got to watch it till the other night. And there it was in 16:9/1.85:1

Presumably this is just a packaging blip. Anyone else spotted this?

This was a labelling error on most of the original releases from Warner Bros. Films are labelled as Regular even though they are widescreen anamorphic.

Other examples I believe include
Fugutive (original version not special edition)
Mars Attacks
Maverick

In fact I think it was all their releases in the first year of DVD and they have never bothered to update the packaging
