Member HAZ Posted April 12, 2010 Member Share Posted April 12, 2010 Cool review! I'm surprised by the lack of a Mandarin soundtrack, but I guess it isn't the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member gfanikf Posted April 12, 2010 Author Member Share Posted April 12, 2010 Cool review! I'm surprised by the lack of a Mandarin soundtrack, but I guess it isn't the end of the world. Thanks! Regarding the soundtrack, I can't imagine that movie made in 1985 was intended to be in Mandarin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member HAZ Posted April 12, 2010 Member Share Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks! Regarding the soundtrack, I can't imagine that movie made in 1985 was intended to be in Mandarin. For sure. I like all the recorded material for a film to be included in the DVD, though. It's like how people like seeing the original trailer & lobbies. I'm a nerdy completist!

I was hoping a dub might turn up for the film, but no luck there. Here is a preview cap for everyone since I couldn't post the whole article...I think it will get your attention!

Member chen lung Posted April 12, 2010 Member Share Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks for the review. Did Funimation apply this censoring (for a lower rating)? Rather distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Asmo Posted April 16, 2010 Moderator Share Posted April 16, 2010 Weird. CDWOW says that they have this in stock. I might shoot them an email and confirm. Either way, it's at a pretty good price. http://www.cdwow.com.au/DVD/hong-kong-godfather/dp/8075523#bc=b1e8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member gorhama Posted April 29, 2010 Member Share Posted April 29, 2010 I picked this up today at FYE. They had one copy in the DRAMA section. My local Best Buy did not carry it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FYE I went to did the same damn thing!!! Just because it has "Godfather" in the title, doesn't automatically make it a drama! Then again, inexplicably, Funimation's Opium and the Kung Fu Master was under drama too Oh well, it was nice to see a proper 24p transfer this time around though.

":squigglemouth:" over the fact Shaw films in the wrong section would be nice over here if i could walk into a shop & they would have 1 Shaw ive only seen a Shaw once in a shop but it was 7 Golden Vampires 'A Hammer/Shaw' but still that amazed me.

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted May 2, 2010 Member Share Posted May 2, 2010 I'm 100% satisfied with this DVD:smile: I'm very relieved to see that there's no blur. Not a great movie, but still decent and not hard to sit through while waiting for the spectacular finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member gorhama Posted May 3, 2010 Member Share Posted May 3, 2010 Wow loved this movie!! As for the DVD I was blown away by the transfer I thought it looked great on my LCD TV. Crystal clear and un-cut totally awesome. One of the bloodiest Shaw Brothers movie I have seen!! The end sequence was totally crazy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
