Member Jay Stone Posted April 21, 2011 Member Share Posted April 21, 2011 Anyone see this in any chain stores recently? Is it worth trying to track it down? I missed the boat and can't find it online anywhere. Not even eBay. I know BCI went out of business but is it possible that a store may have it in stock?

Good movie, ending felt a bit rushed, but I enjoyed it. Definitely pick it up if you like Ti Lung or movies about opium. Funimation re-released it last year, it's a copy of the IVL/Celestial print, but for some reason only includes Mandarin and no Cantonese audio: I found a copy at Hastings, a Texas book/video chain. I've also rented multiple Funimation Shaws at Redbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Sheng Posted April 22, 2011 Member Share Posted April 22, 2011 He was asking about the blu ray, not dvd. This Blu Ray is insanely expensive nowadays and ridiculously difficult to find. It is simply stunning though, worth to spend some serious dough on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member OpiumKungFuCracker Posted April 22, 2011 Member Share Posted April 22, 2011 There's really not that much of a difference on Bluray or Dvd especially for this movie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jay Stone Posted April 22, 2011 Author Member Share Posted April 22, 2011 Yeah, I was asking specifically about the possibility of being able to actually find the blu ray in a store. If anyone has recently. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Kung Foolery Posted April 23, 2011 Member Share Posted April 23, 2011 This Blu Ray is insanely expensive nowadays and ridiculously difficult to find. Not really. Got mine on ebay for less than $20. A few weeks ago I posted an ebay link for a $20 'buy it now' one. They pop up once in awhile, just keep your eyes peeled.

Member Jay Stone Posted June 12, 2011 Author Member Share Posted June 12, 2011 Was able to get one sealed on eBay for $28 plus shipping. Little more than I wanted to pay but whatever. Should have it tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member chen lung Posted June 12, 2011 Member Share Posted June 12, 2011 Funimation re-released it last year, it's a copy of the IVL/Celestial print, but for some reason only includes Mandarin and no Cantonese audio: Think IVL's would be a PAL>NTSC conversion, where as BCI (Funimation possibly too) was proper NTSC. But yes, Funimation does not include the Cantonese soundtrack (unlike BCI). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member OldPangYau Posted June 29, 2011 Member Share Posted June 29, 2011 I managed to see a used copy of the BCI DVD version at an FYE a week ago I have the BCI blu-ray though, so I'm good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Wheat Thin Man Posted June 29, 2011 Member Share Posted June 29, 2011 I love the blu-ray release of this, the reversible cover is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Fang Shih-yu Posted June 30, 2011 Member Share Posted June 30, 2011 I managed to see a used copy of the BCI DVD version at an FYE a week ago I found three BCI Opium and the Kung Fu Master DVDs at a FYE near me. I got one for a friend and one for myself, and one of them was still partially sealed. They're more like "cut outs" than they are used copies. How many FYEs have these, I wonder? At any rate, the price for them was sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
