Bullets 'n' Babes

Indeed. The Sammo-Donnie fights look promising.

He's on AOL? That blows liking Paul WS Anderson movies out of the water .

Sha Po Lang will be released in Hong-Kong on November 17th.

Thanks to BnB member Luckystars for the following info:

Sha Po Lang is already available for pre-order at www.buyoyo.com

But the DVD specs are quite hazy.
I'd recommend waiting for a proper HK edition for the time being.

Thanks Tom for putting me right, I didn't realise there was such strict etiquette here.

Yup, I too will be waiting for the HK edition. Interestingly though, the Mainland edit on this disc is shorter by over 10 mins due to censorship, and sports an alternate ending of sorts with an apparently more sanitised feel.

Nah, it's got nothing to do with etiquette.
But I think it's better to have one thread per film.

It saves a lot of trouble when you're searching the forum for information, that's all.

the Mainland edit...sports an alternate ending of sorts with an apparently more sanitised feel.

That's not much of a surprise, really. Bad guys can never win in China.

So is there a date for a proper Hong Kong DVD release?

Nope, but taking into account the HK theatrical release date, we can expect a mid-january DVD release IMO.

Skipped through it a few days ago. Looks really good so far.

Could this be one of the coolest fight scenes ever shot ?





It's gonna be tough to wait until january for the Deltamac edition ( www.asiandvdguide.com )

SPL is available at DDDHouse.

What are you waiting for ??

BUY ! BUY ! BUY !

SPL is available at DDDHouse.

or cdwow

It's up at CD WOW, where? So this is decent then?

The HK DVD is the best right? Do we know if the subs are decent?

Hey,

SPL is up for pre-order here - you can get some money off using the $ link though:

It's up on the first multi-region page or at least it was yesterday

Cheers Grim. You won't get money off with that link btw.

* What does "Sha Po Lang" mean?
* So this is worth getting then?
* How does the HK DVD compare to the Chinese DVD?

I've compared and it's £8.37 from the US store (using the discount link) or £7.99 from the UK (using the discount link).

You can get it for £7.19 if you use the Smartsave link. UK link -

What does "Sha Po Lang" mean?

AFAIK:
Sha, Po and Lang are the names of three stars.
These stars have the power to change your destiny.
They can either create or destroy your world.

(don't ask me where I read it, I don't remember).

It could also be a pun.
"Sha" means kill.
"Po" is Sammo's character.

So this is worth getting then ?

Unless HKL want to buy the rights, I'd say that the HK DVD is the best you'll ever get.

How does the HK DVD compare to the Chinese DVD ?

There are 2 chinese DVDs. One is cut and the other is "less cut".
Having seen both cuts side by side, I say: forget about the mainland editions, go for the Deltamac.

The chinese disc is cut I believe (and/or perhaps has another ending or something).

Minor spoiler:

In the mainland edit, the good guys win.
In the HK edit, the bad guys win.

Thanks guys.

I wouldn't say that. Both Momentum Asia and Optimum Asia are doing a decent enough job with:

Anamorphic, maybe not outstanding but decent
DD5.1
Limited Extras
And in the case of Momentum Asia DTS

Momentum Asia's "Born to Fight" is perfectly respectful.

I'd say extras makes it better than the HK DVD (presuming of course) or does the HK DVD have English subtitled extras?

The film is awesome. Just buy it.

received my copy from cd-wow today.off to watch it now.unfortunately disc 1 was a rattler

Mine was a rattler too its going back.
