Member Fingers Hung Posted May 26, 2011 Member Share Posted May 26, 2011 Does anyone have a copy of this film with this particular scene intact? I suppose this is from a sex scene near the end of the film, involving Michael Chan and Erina Miyai. It is neither on the Eastern Heroes tape nor on the (supposedly uncut) dubbed Ocean Shores VHS. You can find three more screenshots of that scene here. By the way, the dubbed Ocean Shores tape is missing bits and pieces that are in the Eastern Heroes version (such as a brief scene in which Wilson Tong forces Kent Cheng to drink water from a toilet).

Member mark187 Posted May 26, 2011 Member Share Posted May 26, 2011 this is a film that is long overdue for a DVD release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member odioustrident Posted May 27, 2011 Member Share Posted May 27, 2011 I have a feeling this is the Ocean Shores vcd. Hope it makes an appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member odioustrident Posted June 21, 2011 Member Share Posted June 21, 2011 So apparently Ocean Shores put this film out on ld, vcd and vhs in Cantonese/Mandarin. I have a feeling they could all be uncut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Karlos Posted June 22, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 22, 2011 The DVD-R I've got of this was full screen and Mandarin. Sadly, I had to put it in storage before I could watch it so can't check, but as it's in Mandarin does this mean it's uncut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member odioustrident Posted June 22, 2011 Member Share Posted June 22, 2011 Ok grabbed this from an old post on another forum, not all this info is correct but it might indicate that none of the OS releases feature the scene(s) people are looking for. We know the dubbed OS tape is missing violence right? I can't remember myself. Not sure if this is the info you were citing earlier markgway. I was told that the OS vcd was fully uncut, but since there are mutually exclusive scenes from different versions of this film.... I'm not so sure. "The Club There are two UK PAL-VHS releases from "Eastern Heroes". One is an edited version in Cantonese with English subs, the other one (released in their "God, Gamblers and Gangsters Collection") is, supposedly, the "Full uncut version" in Mandarin. The edited version might have been mastered from the Ocean Shores LD, which has the exact same edits (mostly to delete sex scenes and nudity, the uncut version also has a few extra shots of violence). However, the edited UK-tape has a sort of "deleted scenes-montage" at the end of the film, which features some, but not all, of what has been removed. There are two HK-VHS tapes from Ocean Shores, both uncut, one featuring subs, one dubbed in English without subs. The dubbed version uses some different music to replace American rock songs used without permission. " edit: haha I now see this is your post markgway... not enough fans out there.

Member tangshandaxiong Posted July 17, 2011 Member Share Posted July 17, 2011 At the moment many "custom" projects of classic and partly rare ma-films are in the works and already have been shared on ADC for example. Therefore I wanted to ask if there wouldn`t be a good chance that this could happen with "The Club"? As there still is no sign of an upcoming release so if I`d own a copy of it I`d hit the chance and ask a member with better knowledge to do that. I mean this movie surely deserves a proper release.

Member odioustrident Posted February 14, 2012 Member Share Posted February 14, 2012 Does anyone have a copy of this film with this particular scene intact? I suppose this is from a sex scene near the end of the film, involving Michael Chan and Erina Miyai. It is neither on the Eastern Heroes tape nor on the (supposedly uncut) dubbed Ocean Shores VHS. You can find three more screenshots of that scene here. By the way, the dubbed Ocean Shores tape is missing bits and pieces that are in the Eastern Heroes version (such as a brief scene in which Wilson Tong forces Kent Cheng to drink water from a toilet). This scene is on the unsubbed OS laserdisc of this film, along with another nude scene earlier on that I'm not sure is on the Eastern Heroes or OS dub tape. I'll compare the three versions another time. I think there is a fourth, subbed and maybe uncut version based on the pictures in that link. I don't think the Kent Cheng toilet scene is in the OS ld version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member odioustrident Posted September 19, 2012 Member Share Posted September 19, 2012 There has been some talk of doing a composite but who knows. There are 3 versions of the film with mutually exclusive scenes.. so it's a major project to undertake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Reel Power Stunts Posted September 19, 2012 Member Share Posted September 19, 2012 A composite has already been made earlier this year with Eng dub/Cantonese audio options. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before it surfaces in the usual places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member odioustrident Posted September 19, 2012 Member Share Posted September 19, 2012 That composite includes scenes from 2 versions of the film. If someone throws together all three then they really deserve some credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chinatown Kid Posted January 5, 2014 Member Share Posted January 5, 2014 I don't understand what's so bad about him, his technique has never impressed me at least on screen. He may have done some kickboxing but I guarantee Benny Urquidez would flatten his ass in seconds! I guess maybe cause he was a triad and would hack people up with a meat cleaver? To me that would just make him a prick.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chinatown Kid Posted January 5, 2014 Member Share Posted January 5, 2014 I don't know for sure man I'm just going on his reputation as a thug and for being a known member of the Triads like Wang Yu. Seems like the eagle tattoo on his chest has something to do with it just like in the Japanese Yakuza.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Cold Bishop Posted January 6, 2014 Member Share Posted January 6, 2014 Wasn't he seen recently overseeing a Triad brokering/truce? He obviously has connections in that world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
