Member shukocarl Posted January 15, 2011 Member Share Posted January 15, 2011 Does anyone know which version is on the UK dvd of Fist of Fury that's on the 23rd Century Label. There's one on eBay right now. 23rd Century has been said to be a UK bootlegging company that has some rare stuff on it's dvd's. They have BBFC certs on the sleeves but when you check the BBFC website there is no evidence of any of them being submitted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member saltysam Posted January 15, 2011 Member Share Posted January 15, 2011 Not sure which version their Fist Of Fury is but i have their release of The Real Bruce Lee which i suspect was taken from the old Intervision pre-cert (widescreen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member shukocarl Posted January 15, 2011 Author Member Share Posted January 15, 2011 I was wondering if it might be the rare version with credits over the graveyard scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member saltysam Posted January 15, 2011 Member Share Posted January 15, 2011 As they specialised in vhs rips i'd bet it's a boot of the old rank vhs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member saltysam Posted January 15, 2011 Member Share Posted January 15, 2011 i found an old thread elsewhere where a guy who claimed to work for this company listed the titles and where they came from.Stated Fist Of Fury came from a dvd so assuming they didn't boot the HKL release possibly it's a dupe of the old goodtimes usa release?/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member shukocarl Posted June 22, 2011 Author Member Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well I finally got hold of one of these discs. It's a boot of either HKL's or the Fox version (it has Mike Remedios' song at the end). It's a good port but non anamophic...god knows how they got away with this in the UK.

Member Son Of A Gun Posted June 22, 2011 Member Share Posted June 22, 2011 To tell if it's the Fox or HKL print,... If it's the Fox version it will look slightly dull and with a green tinge to it. If it's the HKL platinum version it will have blown out high contrast and a pink tint. If it's the HKL 1 disc edition version it will have a softer picture and be overly saturated.

Member shukocarl Posted June 22, 2011 Author Member Share Posted June 22, 2011 I think it's the HKL. Dialogue missing between Bruce/Nora at grave, Reddish/Pink tint, Mike (bleeding ) Remedios....how come it's letterbox though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Son Of A Gun Posted June 22, 2011 Member Share Posted June 22, 2011 Dialogue missing from the Nora at grave scene? Tell me more. I wasn't aware of this. I don't know why it's letterbox but I bought a bootleg of the Fox ''My Lucky Stars'' dvd and that was letterbox too and with a much lower bit rate. Plus the 5.1 english dub had been converted to mono. Weird dvd bootleggers. Maybe a letterbox mpg2 takes up less room on a disc than anamorphic would? Is it dvd5?

Member shukocarl Posted June 22, 2011 Author Member Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yeah that's probably it. The dialogue bit has always been missing on the HKL dvd. I can't quite remember offhand but it's only a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Son Of A Gun Posted June 23, 2011 Member Share Posted June 23, 2011 With the english dub you mean? I'll have to check that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
