Or if you live in the States, Best Buy has it for about US$35.

Not all of HK Flix's stock is bootlegs. Just the Panmedia/RedSun crap.

I know. But last time I checked there was 7 bootlegs on their front page. A good reason to avoid them

Yeah, they do sell those crappy Panmedia shit but I do recommend them for their super-quick shipping, especially if you live in California!

You can buy the Zoke Culture release as that's the closest best quality (aside from subtitles and lack of possible progressive) with the original title card (unconfirmed however. Fox is confirmed to have an altered title card), Mandarin mono, wonderfully restored FS print.

Someone should do a DVD project restoring them all into one good version.

HK Flix isn't an entire bootleg store, but the shamelessly stock the Pan Media shit and claim without it, they'd be in the slumps. People opposed supporting them.

TBH, there is a bit of a discussion on it, and we're not sure.

However, they do have stuff other distributors didn't provide (e.g. DTS) so it's possible their FS contract is legal

Does the Zoke contain the 1971 Mandarin track or a new one?

Zoke Culture is not a bootleg label. They just recently signed a distrubution deal with 20th Century Fox.
