That's what I did too.

Dragons Forever isn't out until end of June so it'll be a few weeks yet perhaps before Wow add it to their site. And Wheels on Meals has been put back until September, so considerably longer for that.

This is missing the DTS on the HK set though (as Brad tells me).

It has different extras from the R1 or HK LE also. There seems to be stacks of documentaries out there for Alexander.

Bar the packaging it doesn't look any different to the R1 really. I'm keeping my HK LE the DTS is great and like BHD I'd prefer DTS over the commentary.

The different documentaries cancel each other out IMO. If the DC turns out to be a better film then I may buy that also or buy it along side my HK LE TC.

Chungking Express UK R2 (latest AE version) - £8.99 before vouchers:

It's supposed to be better AV to the R1.

Ehm... sorry to bust OFF TOPIC here, but the new Director's Cut of Alexander is NOT an Extended Cut. It's a... Shortened Cut! That's right... It's shorter by about 10-15 minutes if my memory serves me right...

Of course, that's not to say it doesn't include a lot of new scenes, but to call it an Extended Edition is wrong

8 minutes but your point still stands 8)

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 01 Jun 2005, 18:40

Well he Has added more into the film, but he acctually cut loads out, so I was not wrong and Stone was as he said the film was longer.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 01 Jun 2005, 19:40

If the film is shorter how can it be extended?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 01 Jun 2005, 20:03

Well he cut soo much out, then he added some in so he has in theory extended some footage

Dragons Forever for £9.99 at CD-WOW - bargain or what ?

Lists it as 1 disc. Its says platinum, is it gonna be 2 disc ? if it is the price might go up.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 07 Jun 2005, 00:43

If it says Platinum and HKL confirm it's Platinum then it will be Platinum. I suspect the field where is says how many discs is a mistake.

£7.99/£8.99 for a Platinum Edition seems decent.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 09 Jun 2005, 09:10

I'll be getting it at that price then

Kali-mera (Good day) again guys

Ong Bak R4 for £9 with thanks to Romero (this link knocks $8 US off):

http://www.cd-wow.us/detail_results_2.p ... code=19471

Making it cheaper than the UK site with £1 or the HK site + any Aussie site I can find.

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 19 Jun 2005, 10:12

Is the R4 version of Ong Bak the best one to get then? I have a feeling I'm going to own 3 different versions of this film...

I already have the Edko release with no subtitles, I have the Premier Asia version on pre-order which I will keep on order for the extras and overall quality of the discs that HKL / PA always manage, and I think the R4 is the one with 2 different edits of the film, right?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 19 Jun 2005, 10:33

Yes, I think so. The R4 has the Besson cut + DC and extras, the PA has its own unique extras and will have the DC (I think) BUT it will probably have a different score (PA re-scored it).

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 19 Jun 2005, 11:30

Yes. I thought it was ultra clear

* Why don't you sell the Edko? It's going to be pretty useless (bar possibly DTS not enough reason for me to keep it)
* There is no guarantee the extras will be different on the PA DVD but you're right I'd be surprised if the PA DVD isn't the best AV wise. I completely agree. PA and HKL on the whole (always for PA) create outstanding looking and sounding DVDs.
* No offence but I've made it very clear what cuts the R4 has. Why do you need to ask again?

Grim we don't even know the spec. of the PA DVD yet it may have exactly the same extras. It's possible they will create their own but they haven't (I think) for the other PA DVDs as oodles have been available to them.

Personally I don't see the point owning any other version than the R4 unless you specifically like the new PA score as many seem to.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 19 Jun 2005, 11:33

I know you've made it clear Brad, I was telling IM (if that was referring to me).

If you were talking to IM maybe he hasnt seen the post.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 19 Jun 2005, 11:41

Good point I got my threads missed up maybe he hasn't. IM look here:

https://www.bulletsnbabesdvd.com/forums/ ... &start=140

It's the official Eastern Eye thread. I update it regularly.

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 20 Jun 2005, 10:23

Sorry, I never read that thread so I missed the information. I'm not sure about selling the Edko DVD, because I don't think that it will hold much value to anyone on E-Bay because it has no subtitles...

I will be getting both the PA and the R4 versions...

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 20 Jun 2005, 18:41

No worries I thought we were in the Eastern Eye thread.

Personally I'd sell the Edko for £1-2 than keep a coaster.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 26 Jun 2005, 11:49

Million Dollar Baby R3 with the same extras as the R1 + Exclusive DTS FOR £9.99 -

http://www.cd-wow.com/detail_results_2. ... ffid=13858

Although it maybe cropped to 1.85:1. I've e-mailed CD WOW to confirm.

p.s - The Korean DVD also has the same extras, DTS and is in the correct 2.40:1 -

http://www.koreandvds.com/dvddetail.html?id=27294

Actually the HK DVD has extra 'Selected B-Rolls (from EPK)' not on any other release it seems.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 26 Jun 2005, 14:00

It's not looking hopeful. I'll re-email them nearer the time:

"The information we have states that the aspect ratio is 1.85. As far as we are aware this is correct."

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 01 Jul 2005, 15:28

Million Dollar Baby DTS R3 is now listed as 2.35:1 at CD WOW. Yipeey!
