So I was looking for Fortress with Christopher Lambert on Blu Ray and saw that the US and German blu rays are out of print and outrageously priced everywhere I look. There is a Spanish blu ray but I'm not sure about the quality. It's really the only decently priced option I have. I'm pretty sure it's a bootleg though. Should I take a chance on it or get the dvd instead?

The German version is slightly better cause its not over saturated but both have a flat washed out video look to them.

Iirc, there are many releases from Spain that could be considered as bootlegs.

I own the German version and can recommend it. Overall it's a better transfer than the US one. Although it's the full length uncut version the extended segments have been taken from the UK laserdisc so the drop in quality is noticeable there. I've never seen the Spanish disc but personally I'd avoid buying any Spanish Blu Rays online; I've yet to see one that isn't a BD-R bootleg.
Program material is recorded on the other side of this disc...
