Best version of Tsui Harks 'Blade'?

Post by Wolf »

I 'm wondering is there a good version of this available on DVD? I brought the R2 DVD a long time ago (my first DVD) but the picture was pants so I sold it.. Been waiting ever since :(

I've had a better look and the crappy UK R2 looks your best bet. You can forget a remaster from MIA as they don't remaster. The R1 I've no idea who owns the rights.

Your best bet is R4 and if you're lucky Eastern Eye. Post a request here:

Does the film have lots of martial arts? I ask as Eastern Eye don't seem to be interested in martial arts films at the moment.

Hi Salty, Hi Mark, Good to see you both again :lol: Nice to know quite a few of the old gang have remained :thumbs:

So what major forum events have I missed? Has Romero mellowed over the past few years?
I've kind of been out of touch with asian cinema whats the current cream of the crop?

I really should start a seperate thread for this lol
