Cool but I'd prefer to have had DTS.

The Weinstein's strike again.

Just curious. I'm watching DD's Seven Swords right now and I just wanted to know something: how does the ending for PA's Seven Swords DVD differ from the original HK version?

If you want SPL in the UK, TWC will probably release it soon since they own the rights to it there as well as other English speaking territories. For now, Dragon Dynasty is exclusive to the US only.

DD will be releasing titles in the UK, at some point.

A good chunk of the their Asian library is owned by the likes of Contender and Tartan in the UK though. So don't expect to see DD releases of Police Story 1&2, TYG, IA1-3, etc.

I seriously doubt that anyone here has bought the PA release of Seven Swords, since we know that it has been cut to ribbons.

Seven Swords review:-

Apparently the reviewer is a moron, he can't tell the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese.

It's a good review btw guys. It's worth a read.

That's harsh but as it's you I'm used to it, now.

Whatever they do, I hope they stick with FS's previous gorgeous looking print of PS2. I thought PS1 should've looked much better.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 19 Jan 2007, 10:38

Will that be the HK cut of PS2 or the Japanese cut (in the Trilogy Boxset)?
I'll probably upgrade my HKL (HK cut) of PS2 then.
The rare outtakes will probably be the ones on the Japanese version of PS2 so the DVD could be HK cut plus JP outtakes.

We won't know until the disc is released and people have it in their hands. There's actually a good chance they've used the Jap cut, since they've been utilising Fortune Star masters.

DangerousLeeHandsome · Post by **DangerousLeeHandsome** » 19 Jan 2007, 15:28

I am almost certain it will be the longer cut found in the trilogy box set.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 19 Jan 2007, 16:47

I hope they use the 106m HK cut as that's more than long enough.

The extra 16m in the JP is pure padding.

The best version is actually the international cut which runs 96 mins, but it's unfortunately English dubbed only.

I just wish they'd release PS3

, which they won't.

Because it's craaaap. Well, actually because it is owned by some other company, but it's still one of my least favourite modern day JC films.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 20 Jan 2007, 03:14

Disney own it.

Linn · Post by **Linn** » 20 Jan 2007, 04:01

as far as I'm aware, Disney owns everything released in theaters. Everything released on dvd only by Disney, DD could get.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 20 Jan 2007, 13:34

Thanks Linn. You wouldn't happen to have a list by any chance?

I've no idea what Disney released in theatres and what they didn't.

It's in my top 3 JC films and miles better than PS or PS2

So no chance of Drunken Master II or Mighty Peking Man? I think Fist Of Legend was straight to video

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 20 Jan 2007, 14:50

Thanks Mark.

Only PS3 and IM interest me in that lot (HKL's IM is fine). Shaolin Soccer already has a perfectly good UK DVD.

It should be safe.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 20 Jan 2007, 14:52

All of the Jet Li films went straight to video.

I wonder if that means they'll all get re-released.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 20 Jan 2007, 14:58

I expect so.

Can't see Brian White sitting on Fist of Legend and Fong Sai Yuk too long.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 20 Jan 2007, 15:48

I'd love to see a proper release of Fong Sai-Yuk 1 & 2.
Still hoping for a 2007 release by HK Vidéo, though.
