Trailers
- Trailer 1 (1:24) (forced English subtitles for Spanish dialogue)
- Trailer 2 (3:04) (Spanish (Castilian), optional English subtitles)
Notes: Transfer is in HDR10 and not Dolby Vision as mistakenly declared on the cover (On the cover Arrow Films wrote "(...) Ultra HD Blu-ray presentations of all three films in Dolby Vision (...)"). At least that is what my equipment is showing: HDR and not DV. Same goes for Perdita Durango. If the transfers were taken from the other labels, it makes sense since they match with their specifiations. In the booklet the wording is somewhat ambiguous: "The films were restored in 4k resolution and have been graded in SDR, HDR10 and Dolby Vision".

Acción mutante AKA Mutant Action

Storyboards (2:10) (Spanish (Castilian), no optional subtitles)

Storyboards (2:06)

There are two different storyboards extras? Is there any audio on the second one?

[Christian_Bütikofer]

The second storyboard entry is wrong. Instead it should read: Picture Gallery (30 pictures)

Added. Thank you.
