123 minutes ?
That's NTSC, not PAL...

Or are they releasing some kind of extended cut ?

The BBFC also list the FILM (i.e - Cinema) version, it's that they're referring to:

http://www.bbfc.co.uk/website/Classifie ... enDocument

You will note the top right hand corner says FILM version, they say VIDEO for VHS and DVD submissions.

Thats right. Film Runtime = NTSC Runtime.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 21 Sep 2006, 19:48

A DVD can't be far away

Ah, OK.
Phew ! For a minute, I thought HKL had gone Tartan !

Warrior King (aka - TYG) is out at the end of the month and is a fair £10.99 at Play (cheaper than CD WOW at £13.99 before vouchers):

http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=ti ... P36=498U48

Is anyone planning to get it? It should be uncut, unaltered with the original Thai audio. Does anyone know when the R1 is out?

I'll wait if it's this year.

Big Boss Platinum is £13.99 @ CD-WOW before vouchers so not exactly a bargain. It may cheaper at Play.
I won't get it though.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 27 Oct 2006, 22:33

I wouldn't buy it for £3.99.

Worthless POS.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 27 Oct 2006, 23:14

Well I wouldn't pay £3.99 for the Fox R1 so we're Even Stevens

(okay maybe I would, tis tosh though).

Brad, Big Boss-bitching bastard buns.

You have bastard buns???

Huh? I don't get it.

Me neither???

hey,

I believe someone originally, as a joke, mocked up a photo that placed Lee in a Norweigan location. This then ended up on the platinum dvd as part of the rare photos.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 29 Oct 2006, 16:24

HKL goofed up big time.

Oh LOL , that will teach me for not reading the headings.

Review of The Big Boss DVD

http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=63175

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 01 Nov 2006, 22:10

No comparison to other DVDs though

. I'll get it when it's under a tenner.

Although I'd have preferred the original Mandarin, to me at least it doesn't bother me, Cantonese will do just nicely. The Cantonese has the war cries to, making it immediately better IMO.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 25 Nov 2006, 23:02

Another review: http://www.dvdactive.com/reviews/dvd/th ... ition.html

When it drops by £2+ at CD WOW (it's currently £13.99 before vouchers) I'll pick it up. It's taking it's time.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 25 Nov 2006, 23:32

I think I may get it if its under £10 as well.

Why give money to a company who clearly don't give two shits about their custom?

You'd be better getting a DVD-R for free.

As I disagree I will be. It's all about what you consider higher or lower in your priorities. We've been over this ground before.

From where exactly? Which would be a DVD-5 so compressed and of inferior quality anyway.

The extras alone look decent, more so than I was expecting. I'll still be keeping my old HKL though for the Bey Logan commentary, something I didn't need to do with their FOF DVD.
