The 1997 French version by Luc Besson

Tonight was the first time in years that I'd watched my dvd, just wondering if this problem I had was with all versions of it, or just older copies?

The video has been forced to 4:3, with the subtitles added beneath the picture, very weird
 
Mine does say "Special Widescreen Edition" on the box...which would hint to maybe other versions are just 4:3

Edit : Great film btw! :)
 
Mine says 16:9 on the box

It's actually 4:3 with black lines added in, so the picture is just a tiny 16:9 box inside the 4:3 box with subtitles beneath it :D
 
Is it like that for the whole film? Sometimes it opens up after the intro sequences.

That's exactly the same as mine - about time it came out on blu-ray!
