It is indeed odd.

I believe those releases are Best Buy exclusives for a few months orso, and after that they get a wider release!? Something like that.

Fong Sai Yuk is the fucked up shitty incomplete version, isn't it!?

As opposed to the fucked up shitty audio make your ears bleed remix version, yes.

DD's dvd of Fong Sai Yuk was actually quite watchable despite the cuts. The print used was decent and the audio quality was above average. BTW the BD has reverted back to the generic "The Legend" re-title.

That's a shame and an odd move too. Thanks though, I'd never find it otherwise.

Hopefully this will get a good Blu Ray :) Then I'll upgrade my HK DVD.

Is their DVD of 36th CHAMBER any good? :)
I may upgrade to that (or Momentum), I thought I saw the BD was getting re released when it was on Play USA one time.

Yes, I have the Momentum. You can get that for cheap online.

If an 'Eight Diagram' Blu-Ray were to come out and had the same conversion issue as '36th Chamber', he'll get the DVD (which will most likely won't have such an issue).

I don't recall any dialogue being repeated. I guess it was.
No, in the studio, the line is repeated as the actor tries to dub themselves :).

In the (likely) multiple attempts, the best one is selected.

Has anyone actually bought the last few DD Shaws? I sure as hell havent.

I did however just pre-order *he-he* Hard-Boiled on blu-ray. I know this release is gonna be torn to shreds whether it be the PQ or subtitles but I gotta replace my DVD. I loaned it out to somebody and never got it back. :(

He's just planning ahead... :D

BTW. It's been confirmed that the DD of Pole Fighter has only the Mandarin/English dubs so don't throw away your IVL just yet...
