Game of Death = Universe DVD vs HKL DVD vs Fox DVD

Post by chenlung »

Universe contains a hybrid soundtrack (music from the international version during the credits) but a decent remix (if the odd foley effect is wrong). Non-anamorphic pinkified image is a bit of a pisser, but at least it isn't squashed. This of course contains the HK version (Cantonese/Mandarin dubs dropping/adding a few scenes) which I find vastly superior to the international version (with retarded war cries and fly-swatter nunchaku foley).

HKL version contains a hybrid soundtrack (again!) lifting everything except voices for the nunchaku fight (HKL had access to it but changed it probably because it sounded better - something I don't like for purists reasons even if it does improve the scene). Image is clean but dark and squished.

Universe = R0 Hong Kong.
HKL = R2 United Kingdom.
Fox = R1 America.

So was the suit yellow or orange then?

I remember wearing a t-shirt in the style of the catsuit. My mate at work who is 38 was wondering and asked me if that shirt wasn't supposed to be orange. He even remembers it being orange from the time he saw the film at the theatre. So who has got it right?

Judging by some of the coloured on-set pictures, it should be yellow. Why did it turn out orange in some prints?

Pinkification in Universe, but HKL is yellowish. Hell, even Linda Lee says it's yellow :lol: .

The Media Asia print on the Megastar disc - which is awful BTW - has a Cantonese song by Norman and a different Mandarin song - set to a variation of the Way Of The Dragon theme - on their respective tracks

AFAIK, the HK release prints never had Bruce vs. Ji Han Jae - maybe GH was saving it for a sequel!

I don't have a feature to upload images. It says in the FAQ that such option isn't available.
