Use VLC Media Player or MPC-HC . These have "built-in" codecs and play MKV files natively.

Ensure the file extension is actually .mkv and not .mkv.exe (which would be a virus).

Check if it includes the original English/French mix or a dubbed version.

If the file doesn't have built-in subtitles, look for an .SRT file named exactly like the movie.

💡 Since this is a 1987 film, the aspect ratio is likely 1.85:1. If the image looks stretched, set your player’s aspect ratio to "Original" or "16:9". If you'd like, I can help you: Find English or French subtitles for this specific version. Explain how to convert this to MP4 for older devices. Provide a plot summary or cast details.
