Can you show me the article that says that the US cut was edited by Yu himself ? I must've missed that one.

Next week we'll get the director's cut.
-If it turns out to be an extended version of the "Western Cut", then you'll be right.
-If it turns out to be an extended version of the HK cut then I'll be right.

I can't wait (to be right

).

P.S: Yes I'm a very childish man and I'm proud of it.

Or it could be edited radically different to either cut and you'll both be pwned.

It's my third favourite Jet film, behind Danny the Dog and Fist of Legend.

thought the once upon a time series were much better than Fearless tbh.

I was very impressed with Fearless.

The fight scenes were good, the plot was cliched and trite.

Just sampled the UK dvd, and yeah opening with the wushu is not there, one thing that Tom didn't add which I found was a nice touch in the mainland version was that in the fights early on, it actually told you who the fighter was, well it did in my version, yet the western version doesn't.

Not a great deal, but it was a nice touch.

Like we really needed to know the name of the anonymous European fencing guy.

Looks like I wont bother with any of them, I hate it when this crap happens

make one version, not 73! will just pick up the directors cut instead.

I'm currently watching the DC.
Sounds like Eva was right. Completely new cut.

Starts with a modern-day Michelle Yeoh scene.

EDIT: the DC contains many shots that were removed for the western cut (this is great news).

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 16 Jan 2007, 14:42

Just finished watching this. There are a few shots removed from the DC (like the end of the fight with the Thai boxer), but overall I prefer this cut.

Huh? This IS the DC

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 16 Jan 2007, 16:15

He probably meant:

There are a few shots removed in the DC

Expect a new thread to pop up tonight. I'll clean up the other ones as well.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 16 Jan 2007, 16:40

No, there are shots in the TC that are NOT in the DC.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 16 Jan 2007, 17:01

Thanks Tom/LD

I see now.
I havent received my copy yet unfortunately (slight shipping delay).

I guess they really "were" deleted (i.e - superfluous) scenes then. Any good ones?
