Did anyone else have a problem with......

Okay, I bought the recent 2010 rerelease of 'The Rookie' (Link - http://www.amazon.com/Rookie-Clint-Eastwood/dp/B003AWRMA6/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1303093832&sr=8-6) I took the disc out of the case and admired it's label for a bit before sticking it into my player. However, when the menu loaded up, it said 'Tightrope' with no mention of 'The Rookie.' I even played the film to see if it was truly the wrong film. Yes, the disc and case said 'The Rookie' from 1990 and yes, both Clint Eastwood and Charlie Sheen were on the front of both. No, it wasn't a double feature, and no, in case you didn't pay attention, the disc is not double sided. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what you did to fix it. (And if you haven't, any suggestions would be appreciated).

here´s solution: send it back to amazon.com and send them e-mail and ask for the right movie.

Wise words!

On a completely different front, I did have a problem with Hispanic actors Juliá and Braga, portraying German villains.

Why they didn't just portray Hispanic characters, I have no idea. I don't think it would have made any difference to the scripted narrative, except to have given it a tiny dose of greater realism.

I'm not sure they even bothered to attempt German accents anyway.
