You betcha! - I was living in Minneapolis when this film was released. It came as a bit of a shock for the locals, seeing it the first time, especially when you knew where all the locations were filmed. The accents are over-emphasised somewhat to reflect how those from the Twin Cities (Minneapolis & Saint Paul) and out-state residents from NW Minnesota and North Dakota speak. Phrases like "yah" and "you betcha" are common for folk who grew up there - sometimes seen as a bit of a joke at themselves and their Scandinavian roots. The film itself is well described in other reviews - few will forget the final scenes of the film and how it all ends. What I will add is some detail for the filming locations for anyone interested. The film is meant to be set in Fargo, although nothing was filmed there. Practically everything was filmed around Minneapolis and Saint Paul. But over the course of 25 years, almost nothing remains of the locations used for filming. The Coen brothers grew up in St. Louis Park, a suburb to the west of Minneapolis, and have a very down-to-Earth way of working - quite typical of the locals. The film starts out "based on a true story" - not surprisingly then to hear that there were folk who drove to Brainerd to try to find the money! The extras on the disc describe the Coen's later "admitting" they had no idea it wasn't true! On a side note to this, the Pioneer Press newspaper in Saint Paul has a treasure hunt every winter - following cryptic clues to find a medallion, that results in a cash prize. Often the medallion was hidden under lots of snow (hidden weeks beforehand). So you can see why the Coen's would have said it was plausible. They knew exactly what would happen - 3 feet of snow won't stop a Minnesotan on a mission! Blu-ray transfer looks better than it did when it was released. Recommended, but still not for the faint hearted. I'd also recommend watching "Grumpy Old Men" which was also filmed in the same region - mostly in Saint Paul's East Side. Like Fargo, Grumpy Old Men was filmed at the wrong time of year - the snow had to be brought in for both films to depict a wintery backdrop, and both try to play on the Minnesotan dialects and quirkiness. Review: Marvelous film that never gets boring - Fargo is a film you will love or hate. There's no middle ground. It's an ararchic mess that captivates from start to finish. The 4k bluray is decent. There are better looking 4k than this and there are much worse looking too. However, picture quality isn't the main reason you'd want this film. It's a perfect social comedy and satire. That should be enough for anyone. It's certainly enough for me. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Colour | Unknown | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,701 Reviews | | Language | English | | Number of discs | 2 | | UPC | 826663223750 | ## Product Details - **Language:** English - **Colour:** Unknown - **Number of discs:** 2 - **UPC:** 826663223750 ## Images ![Fargo (Collector's Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SZYmeUITL.jpg) ![Fargo (Collector's Edition) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LnoQYBDXL.jpg) ![Fargo (Collector's Edition) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zaA1xymgL.jpg) ![Fargo (Collector's Edition) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81c1uI3LrrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still good after 25 years? You betcha! *by D***W on 26 April 2020* I was living in Minneapolis when this film was released.

There's no middle ground. It's an ararchic mess that captivates from start to finish. The 4k bluray is decent. There are better looking 4k than this and there are much worse looking too. However, picture quality isn't the main reason you'd want this film. It's a perfect social comedy and satire. That should be enough for anyone. It's certainly enough for me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly original black comedy with great cast *by T***H on 10 May 2024* It’s hard to believe that 25 years have passed since Fargo first appeared, fully establishing the Coen Brothers as innovative filmmakers coming on the heels of Blood Simple and Raising Arizona. Having seen the movie several times, it continues to be a fresh, hilarious 98 minutes of black comedy – a perfect combination of memorable characters brought together in a story with its relatively little dialogue frequently punctuated with “you betcha’s” and “yaa’s”. The performances are superb, topped by Frances McDormand’s Oscar winning role as the pregnant police chief, Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare as the inept kidnappers and William H. Macy as the car salesman whose life builds one problem on top of another, but the whole cast blend perfectly together to create a highly entertaining, sometimes brutal, tale. The film also succeeds visually, with the bleak, snow covered North Dakota landscape perfectly photographed, with this BluRay presentation capturing its sharp, bright images. For anyone enjoying quirky tales start here, though it's hard to imagine that there are still those unaware of Coen Brothers’ movies. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fargo (1996) : Collector's Edition [4K UHD + Blu-ray] [DVD] - The Big Lebowski - 20th Anniversary Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital [4K UHD] - No Country for Old Men (The Criterion Collection) [4K UHD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/586916505-fargo-collectors-edition](https://www.desertcart.be/products/586916505-fargo-collectors-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
