Fearless - Uncut Thai Disc - Michelle Yeoh Scenes Included

Post by thelostdragon »

Well, if you've been wondering where we'll have the first crack at the long cut of Jet Li's Fearless, keep your eyes on Thailand. The locals reportedly were a little irked when they learned that the fight sequences involving the Thai fighter - who was prominently featured on the Thai billboards - had been removed from the theatrical release in Hong Kong and, as a result, Thailand will be screening the original, longer cut of the film which not only reinserts the Thai character but also Michelle Yeoh.

Now, will the eventual Thai DVD release of the long cut include English subtitles? It's unlikely but at least we know where to watch for it now. And in related news, the listings for the Hong Kong DVD release have been altered and no longer list English subtitles on the disc. Looks like Rogue pulled some strings to have them removed, which is a bit of a surprise considering they raised no objections to Danny The Dog (aka Unleashed) getting a very nice Hong Kong DVD release prior to its North American debut.

Now I'm just "that weird french guy with a cat avatar who comes to BnB once a year for no reason and then disappears again".

According to Ethai there are no English subs, only Thai subs and the only soundtracks are Thai DTS and Thai 5.1? :?

Well its still sad if you cannot speak the language :( I guess at least the footage is out there now then. Its still a joke of a release all over so far still. One day we may get the real film, but I wont count on it yet.

Adding subs to a DVD is relatively easy but fat lot of good if the DVD doesn't have any form of Chinese on it. Even Cantonese would be better than Thai.

Cheers LD.

Think before you post an article Twitchnet. Danny the Dog is in English so pulling English subs from it isn't exactly going to stop people buying it.

They could hardly force the DVD to only include a Chinese dub.
