Ah OK.
The 2nd cover makes it look more like a typical "Jackie" action comedy TBH.

Rob-B-Hood is the worst Jackie film I have ever seen. And I was stupid enough to watch the longer cut. Pure misery.

Master With Cracked Fingers is Citizen Kane compared to wretched fare like Police Woman

And Police Woman is Police Story compared to Rob-B-Hood.

You're talking about "Rumble in Hong Kong" right?

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 24 Oct 2007, 18:41

Ru jing cha aka Nui ging chaat aka Rumble in Hong Kong aka Police Woman aka Police Woman Against Jackie Chan aka Heroine aka The Young Tiger aka Le Jeune Tigre.

Rob-B-hood is is basically what you'd expect from a 54 yr old Jackie Chan. I didn't like it at all.

And Rumble in Hong Kong was terrible.

Robin-B-Hood doesn't even make sense! I wish English titles were chosen by proper English speakers - causes all problems!

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 24 Oct 2007, 21:27

Yeah HK cinema has long been plagued by the curious fact for a former English colony the English when it comes to titles and subtitles there is wretched!

Especially when it comes to punctuation.

LOL! But at least I'm not paid to write on here! If only...

British colony

I read in Time magazine Hong Kongian's English especially in the young is not what it used to be.

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 24 Oct 2007, 22:51

Better or worse?

I read that much of the subtitles work on 70's films was done by teenages whose qualification was being related to studio excecs. Judging from varioius Mei Ah titles, little's changed

LoL waiting for a decent DVD, sometimes you crack me up Hung.
Don't worry, I hear they're working on a 2-disc SE for this well known classic as I type!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 25 Oct 2007, 00:06

Pff only 2 discs? I want an Anchor Bay style 4 Disc Ultimate Edition.

'Rumble in Hong Kong' is a worse edit of 'The Heroine' aka 'Police Woman' than 'The Young Tiger' (it's 10 mins shorter). Not sure how long the uncut version lasts, maybe The Young Tiger is uncut? It's not Jackie's worst either. Not as long as the excerable 'Master With Crack Fingers' exists.

Check out the IMDB cover art for Master with Cracked Fingers

That's the Video Asia release

The tape I have of Police Woman - under the title Young Tiger - appears to be uncut

I've always been fond of Master With Cracked Fingers. It - cough - cracks me up!

I finally got around to watching Dog Bite Dog and I noticed that the commentary starts running out of synch towards the third act (possibly even before). That was a rental copy. Has anyone else experienced that?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 11 Nov 2007, 00:54

Does it go badly out of sync?

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 11 Nov 2007, 02:49

Oh no, a commentary is out of sync! Recall all of the discs!

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 11 Nov 2007, 04:19

I listened to a com the other day that was a good bit OOS. It was an HKL/Bey Logan job.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 11 Nov 2007, 04:47

LOL that isn't much help unless you say which DVD?
