Hey,

I remembered how everyone was saying how there isn't a DVD release of this film, then I looked at HK Flix and found this... maybe not brilliant but at least its something if you like the film.

Clicky Lookie!!

BOOTLEG ALERT!!!

All Panmedia titles are unauthorised boots. You'd be mad to pay $20 for it. Get the original MIHK tape if you can.

D'oh my bad

I didnt know that, sorry Mark.

I'm not sure it's a bootleg but more a VERY dodgy company. A bootleg can only be that if it's illegal!

Besides if it's a good quality bootleg I wouldn't give two hoots where it was sourced. Some bootlegs are better than the official DVD!

Yeah you're probably right Brad. Mark probably means theyre bootlegs in all but name but I can't see a legit company knowingly selling boots. Surely they're the ones who want to combat piracy?

These DVDs ARE illegal. Pan Media steal their source prints from pre-existing versions. Take for example all their Shaw Bros titles. NONE are officially sanctioned by copyright holders Celestial. Note: Pan Media boots aren't sold at any legit stores that I know of. HK Flix use flimsy (and false) excuses to justify stocking them. The last I heard Warners still own Pedicab Driver.

HKL will release it before we all die (probably).

Since when do Disney have the rights? Any source for this, romero?

i transferred the mihk vhs to dvd.not ideal but it'll suffice until an official version appears.great movie.

Remember those links please. It only wastes time having to ask obvious questions.

p.s - Salty was that using a home DVD Recorder? What was the output quality like? As good as the original video?

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 17 May 2005, 21:04

yes brad used a home dvd recorder,quality is pretty good,had to run it through a copybox as the mihk had macrovision on it.

The "very happy" one (the green one) is better.

Yeah I like that one. I'm sure there would be a classic lol smiley like on Old Bullets somewhere that we can import.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 19 May 2005, 00:59

Yeah, is there anyway to get those old emoticons back?

Some of the new ones are alright... but some aren't as good.
