Member Omni Dragon Posted October 21, 2022 Member Share Posted October 21, 2022 The fact The Big Boss has an early English dub (considered "rejected") that was created in Hong Kong and wasn't used on official releases for years, makes me wonder if the likes of the Project A movies and Police Story Part II ever had English dubs created in HK earlier than the ones found on the UK VHS tapes? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member J.J. Hayden Posted October 22, 2022 Member Share Posted October 22, 2022 I recall my VHS of The Big Boss had some pretty crappy dubbing, especially in a scene where James Tien Chuen is talking to Chan Chue but the dub is so out of synch that's they seemed to have traded voices. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I found what you were talking about. (In the first video.) First video is sourced from the 20th Century Fox DVD release: 20th Century Fox.mp4 Second sourced from HKL (Special Collector's Edition) sounds like they stretched the voice for Chan Chue's character: HKL Special Collector's Edition.mp4 Third sourced from the video uploaded to Dailymotion is from the Original Rejected Export Dub: Original Rejected Export Dub.mp4 I wonder if the newer dub always had the synchronization problem or if it was something to do with a bad copy or transfer? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Killer Meteor Posted December 16, 2022 Member Share Posted December 16, 2022 I wouldn't have thought that first dub was bad enough to warrant it being redone. I think the voice for Bruce in FIST OF FURY is much worse for a start! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, though, I thought the first dub/ music was garbage. The second one sounds like the dubbing crew actually had a budget. And I thought Fist of Fury was an excellent dub, too. All down to taste, I guess. Edited December 20, 2022 by tomgray2404 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know how old the original PAL DVD5 and Betacam transfer is, but I can attest that at one point there was an older video of the DVD from 2007 on Dailymotion (that's my upload on there btw). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like the synchronization problem is probably due to the differences between the US theatrical version (1973) and the regular version (Hong Kong 1983 cut). There's a detailed report on the differences on https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=742530 Quote It's interesting that the US theatrical version has parts where it's shorter, but still also other parts where it is longer, when compared to the regular version. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Coliseum1972 Posted July 27, 2023 Member Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) i saw french version on dailymotion , it was cut a few seconds.....you dont see Tien and other guy walking inside Boss mansion , suddenly theyre just inside......makes no sense to cut it , only few seconds and yet they did Cheng is from countryside so him calling him "stupid farmer" isnt far fetched Edited July 27, 2023 by Coliseum1972 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as I have heard rumours about a third dub for The Big Boss, that is said to be featured in a documentary. If it does exist I can't help but wonder if the dialogue replacement is just specifically for the documentary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
