Member spannick Posted April 26, 2011 Member Share Posted April 26, 2011 A Hong Kong VHS would have been released but I've never seen one. I wouldn't mind a copy myself although apart from the language the content is probably identical to the Japanese DVD. there was a Cantonese Version out on HK VHS, link here http://www.ofdb.de/view.php?page=fassung&fid=14432&vid=159071 it also was seemingly the only uncut Print until the Japanese DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Daigoro Posted April 26, 2011 Member Share Posted April 26, 2011 Although i am still waiting to hear from the person who said he would send me a copy of the Video Asia version last week, i got a chance to take a close look at the prints. There is around 8 minutes of additional footage on the Japanese print, that is not on the US/UK print. When i heard about the 2 additional commentaries on the Video Asia release my first inclination was to include them as well as the english dub, however this could be a problem. Im not saying i cannot do it, but here's why i am saying it will delay the project further. I know how to add additional tracks, it's quite easy, re-syncing audio tracks is also not a problem (all i would have to do is use PgcDemux+delaycut+Mpc+Muxman). Here's the problem. In order to add those additional tracks i would have to make multiple cuts of the three additional tracks and align them so they play seamlessly going back and forth between the additional tracks and the extended video and Cantonese track. That is something i have never done. I could do it, but the question becomes, is this movie worth it. I think this movie is worth it, but, i will have to see how it goes. The Japanese print has a Cantonese audio track, but is a re-dub, even that is not the original track. Most of the film takes place in the USA not HK, believe or not Bruce Li and everyone else are actually speaking English in the video so as far as a re-translation or dub- -titles i think it would be wise to stick close to the English dub and use careful judgment should there be instances where i know the script would improve with a change in the choice of wording.., then i will. Someone made a suggestion that i crop the letter-boxed print so that it would be anamorphic. Here's my response to that. I will, but i am only going to crop it so far (about half). The reason is that there are Japanese subtitles burned into the print. Half of them appear beneath the action, but once the amount of dialogue begins to flow the subtitles actually move onto the print. As to how i will go about releasing this print, i am not entirely sure, but it will be free. I have some ideas, no time to get into them now. After this is complete, I am actually considering forming my own team & release custom subtitled projects. It'll be called FreeSubs. I think the people out there should get these projects free, and not have to pay for them whatsoever. It's the best way to do it period. My intentions are true, and i do not want them to become clouded at the prospect of money. If someone contacts me about my list, not from Kungfucinema and wants to pay me $1,000's for a movie fine, but they people here are going to get it free. I hardly have the time or interest in trading these days, but i have around 250 Custom Subtitled projects on my tradelist. Many of which i completed myself. I would just ask people what they wanted to see the most, why not just give it away. Then let them vote and find a way to get it to them. Lastly, i like the Idea behind houndslow team, but i doubt i will ever join them. Houndlow team is non-profit, it actually is a team that was formed in honor of the late great Andrew "Jocky" Jones (aka houndslow), a person who was a grand-master level collector here. A well known respected person who people (including me) could not help but feel a certain growing level of brotherhood with. It was about an mutual affinity for Kung fu movies. The motives behind the formation of that team are true and honorable, i don't care how anyone tries to make it seem. I'm not the one who is going to even that has happened, but i will say even if they did make a mistake so what, they are just people. To release projects out of a true love for the genre out of the memory of the comradery made and felt by others is motivated by intentions that are very pure.

"That guy's a Karate expert" Bruce - "Don't you know anything about Karate, Phillip?

Cheers, Daigoro I think you are doing a splendid job Daigoro! The Commentaries IMHO aren't up to much at all. Badly recorded - they sound like phone conversations. A better solution would be to have someone with a good knowledge of the film record a new commentary. I'm sure there would be a few on this forum or the Clones site that would gladly do it! Please add me to the list when you are ready to release it and let me know of the costs/shipping etc. Thanks. Carl Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Siu Lung Posted April 26, 2011 Member Share Posted April 26, 2011 Yeah, I definitely gotta give Daigoro props for doing this for free. But, seriously, I don't think the commentaries are worth it because the sound quality of the commentaries are awful, and really going through the trouble of making them audible will just add even MORE time and effort to your project for something I think the payoff isn't enough for. This is only my opinion, of course. Once again, your efforts are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Son Of A Gun Posted April 26, 2011 Member Share Posted April 26, 2011 Yep, the audio commentaries aren't that closely connected with the movie anyway. They're mostly about the real Bruce and his life and very little to do with the actual movie, from what I recall. So leaving them off this dvd would be no real loss.

Member ChineseSausage Posted April 30, 2011 Member Share Posted April 30, 2011 Nice one Daigoro. I want a copy too, please. I was actually going to do the same colour correcting and subtitling to this print too, but seeing as how you're doing it, I wont have to now. "Listen, Bruce Lee isn't here today because he is afraid. He's afraid of your instructor. I now declare Murayaki...the winner!" "If I was Bruce Lee, I wouldn't have showed up either" "Karate always defeats kung-fu" I always lol at that line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Son Of A Gun Posted May 12, 2011 Member Share Posted May 12, 2011 Daigro, if that copy doesn't turn up there is an easier way. Whoever has a copy of the dvd can extract the 2 commentary tracks as two .AC3 files (which aren't very large) and upload them for you to a free host like "Rapidshare.com or Megaupload.com" I would do that for you but unfortunately my copy of the dvd is damaged midway through.

Who knew? Unfortunate if Video Asia scared this unnamed distributor off, but I really don't see any of these potential fan projects causing a ripple. We all know that every fan here would rebuy a film several times over if it was a new and improved edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
