Member bigrogie Posted July 13, 2012 Member Share Posted July 13, 2012 The picture on the site is just of the movie poster not a DVD cover. I also doubt there are 2 versions floating around with nonremovable subtitles. This version isn't BAD it is just obviously not as good as the actual US release is going to be and it is a bootleg for sure. I only bought it to hold me over until the release in August I got it my copy from that site (it's runned by a friend of mine). The cover is almost identical to the one showed on the site. Only difference is that the movie credits under «The Raid Redemption» at the bottom are not on the cover. The rest of the picture is the same, the press ads are there, etc.. Nice print with un-removable Korean subtitles. Could have live without it but there's like 20 minutes of dialogue in that movie! The removable English subtitles are yellow. More than good enough for me and since I got it for free, I won't bother with any other release. Will watch it again tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually watched my copy a few days ago and the picture was not as bad as I originally thought when I previewed it, it was actually great after the first few low-light scenes in the beginning!

Could be a typo error, the only difference in U.K and U.S is that Gareth does the commentary on the U.K version.. That would suck though if the dvd only has 1 cut of the film but I highly doubt it though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tigerstyles Posted August 9, 2012 Member Share Posted August 9, 2012 but the US discs also have Garaeth commentary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member OpiumKungFuCracker Posted August 9, 2012 Member Share Posted August 9, 2012 but the US discs also have Garaeth commentary Hmmm, that's weird... Is it the same commentary on both U.S and U.K??? Or does he do a different one for U.S cut and uncut??? I don't understand why the text read, "Directors commentary *Exclusive to UK Disc*". If it's exclusive then why the F is it on the U.S version as well??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member OpiumKungFuCracker Posted August 9, 2012 Member Share Posted August 9, 2012 Holy shit, I've actually found a cheaper price not named, 'AMAZON'.

And all I will say Bob if there was only one copy left and it came down to you & me, I would have to say "You'd Kill Us We Who Use to Be Your Brothers"! OK a little Avenging Eagles one-liner there!

I've been trying not to, but since I saw the movie I've been watching at least part of a fight scene every week. Tuesday, please come. I have resisted. Someone sent me a bootleg, but it was like being blindfolded watching ninjas fight in a windowless room covered in black velvet. LOL After the great experience of seeing it in the theater I just want to see it "just right" again (and again... and again). Ditto on that! I'll be there as well! And all I will say Bob if there was only one copy left and it came down to you & me, I would have to say "You'd Kill Us We Who Use to Be Your Brothers"! OK a little Avenging Eagles one-liner there! Daisho, I consider you my friend. But still... I will be carrying my three-piece staff in case I need it (AVENGING EAGLES style). Am I to assume you will be wearing wrist blades? I'm psyched to finally watch this with my lady- she hasn't seen it yet. Plus I want to show my Dad too. Mom will NOT want to see this one!

Member Lionclaw Posted August 9, 2012 Member Share Posted August 9, 2012 The bootleg I watched wasn't too great either but the fights on youtube are better quality, lol. But on watching the whole thing in great quality, I'll wait for the blurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted August 9, 2012 Member Share Posted August 9, 2012 I've saved myself, or rather the movie, by not watching a single snippet outside of the trailer. But I also hyped it down in my mind, cuz there is no way it can be as good as the 50 pages of praise in this thread suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Pai Mei Posted August 13, 2012 Member Share Posted August 13, 2012 Amazon has finally lowered their price to a more realistic $19.99 (Bluray). There for awhile I thought about holding out another month for the play.com steelbook edition because US prices were so high and the US cover art sucks. I probably would have jumped on the UK steelbook, but it looks like play.com doesn't ship to the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure it this way- You know when you're watching one of those low-budget SWAT team type movies and you keep thinking "If this thing just had some decent fighting in it, it wouldn't be bad."? Well this is that film, but instead of there just being "decent" fighting, it's fast, brutal, and exciting. I hope you dig it. Now I'm off to watch my new Blu-Ray!

Member The Dragon Posted August 14, 2012 Member Share Posted August 14, 2012 I believe I'll make this a blind buy purchase. How do I tell the uncut version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member OldPangYau Posted August 14, 2012 Member Share Posted August 14, 2012 I believe I'll make this a blind buy purchase. How do I tell the uncut version? It'll say "UNRATED EDITION" at the top But, if you're referring to the version with the original score as an option, that's only on blu-ray. However, both blu and DVD have the unrated version with at least the Shinoda/Trapanese score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
