Tom Yum Goong subtitles?

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 11 Jul 2006, 15:24

Hi everyone.

I've given in to temptation & ordered the Edko release of Tom Yum Goong from CD-Wow.

Now I should be able to run this on XBMC with a separate subtitle file. The only problem is, I don't have such a file. Does anyone know where the best place to get fan subtitles is?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I don't think there are subtitles to the cut Edko version of the film. Sorry, IM.

Otherwise, try http://www.kloofy.net

Cut? What do you mean cut? I thought the Edko version was uncut?

Look at the bottom of the page. It says "no cuts" for the Edko release. I know we shouldn't take DVD Compare as gospel truth, but surely if that was a mistake it would've been pointed out to DVD Compare by fans of the film?

I did subs for my Thai disc. You can use that script if you want to. You're gonna have to do some re-timing to match them with your Edko, though (setting a new starting point at least)

Thanks HungFist that would be brilliant! Is there any chance you could e-mail me them or post a link to them on this thread?

Thanks!

I guess it doesn't matter at this point...but you are aware that the Korean dvd does have english subs and is uncut right?

It's oop Recon or at least it was. I'm waiting for the Premier Asia myself even if it maybe altered.

I really suspect the film isn't worth Korean prices. I'm waiting until it's under £10/$18.50.

The film is great. Definitely worth the 8$ I payed for it (2 disc Thai release)

It does seem to be going out of print, but is still avalible from koreandvds.com.
I bought mine in Korea and it seemed to be plentifully in stock at local stores (2.5 months ago).

(It is indeed a stupid movie but very entertaining)

I hear that happens a fair amount: LE titles going OOP online but loads are left in stores.

I only found Ong-Bak average so my hopes are low for this.

The subs on the Korean disc are terrible, which is why I sold mine immediately.

I personally couldn't sit through the K-disc again, the amount of errors was sickening.

Guys, am I completely wrong? U have the Edko VCD and the scene where he brakes about 50 people's bones has a few cuts. I compared it with the Thai version and IIRC the HK VCD turned out to be cut. Isn't it the same for the DVD?

Bisc do you honestly care that much regarding this particular film?

The subs are fine for comprehending what's being said, and that's enough for me

If you post some screen grabs of stuff that is in the Thai version that isn't in the Edko VideoCD then I will compare it to my Edko DVD when it arrives and let everyone know whether it is uncut or not...

It's obviously the HK EDKO VCD only that was cut. Why? LOL!
