It is even supposed to be longer than the Thai cut, which according to them...
http://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittb ... hp?ID=2942
... is only 318 seconds longer than the TC. There are pictures of the additonal scenes of the thai disc on that site.

They explain that the Thai fighter scene explains why Fok Yun Gap decides to leave the village again, while in the TC he just leaves.

Yes. The DVD that will be released later this year will contain the missing 40 minutes.

Any links LD please?

I don't want to get the R1 if this is "actually" coming or another Hero where it will take years.

If we had links, don't you think we'd post them ? :D
LD and I have both read it somewhere. Don't know where, though.

Tom, have you also read it at a place that shows a picture of a Thai Boxer being hit by Jet Li and thus crashing into a table?

Damnit... I got the soundtrack of the film today. Listened to it and it reminded me of what an awesome film this is.

It starts in theatres here on November 9th. Although I have watched it on DVD already, I won't miss the chance to watch it on the big screen.

OK, I just found where I read it. Ronny Yu says so in this interview:
http://www.kaijushakedown.com/2006/09/r ... nterv.html

Now where is that picture of the Thai fighter?

Nice one thanks LD. No guarantee it will have English subs though but it's enough to know I won't be getting the R1.

For those who don't visit the Reviews/Comparisons subforum, you might want to check these two threads:

SPOILERS:
https://www.bulletsnbabesdvd.com/forums/ ... php?t=3086

Put simply:
The R1 unrated cut is cut.
We're trying to determine whether the R2UK and R4 are cut too.

WOW nice one cheers Hung.

It looks like the director came through like he said he would in that link from LD.

He said early January and here it's come. Sure English subs might be pulled but you know what I reckon there's a good chance of them staying:

1. The original HK DVD never had subs
2. Universal no doubt put a stop to the Theatrical Cut getting subs (even if they ended up being different)
3. The Asian cut is bound to be exclusive to Asia. As we know it's happened loads of times before. Namely Hero, I doubt we'll see it outside of Asia.

I'm pleased I opted to wait to watch and buy it.

I'm going to wait until someone confirms English subs though. I made my own Ong-Bak and have done Tai Chi Master + Fist of Legend but those were extreme circumstances.

Brad wanders off to ask CD WOW if it will have English subs and if they'll stock it (which they will).

Oh yes. Okay otherwise.

I really meant a version from the big Hollywood studio (in the case of Fearless Universal).

Havent bought or watched the shorter version, for hopes this 'real' version would one day come out, so this is very good news. If it does indeed have english subs, it's a definate must-buy.
