Member Gaijin84 Posted July 26, 2011 Member Share Posted July 26, 2011 Similar question to those I've seen for some of Jackie's early releases... what is the best version out there for TKWI? Japanese version is widescreen remastered but no English subs. Is there anything out there that is worth picking up? Most of what I've found is fullscreen dubbed. Any help would be appreciated!

Member luckystars Posted July 26, 2011 Member Share Posted July 26, 2011 EDIT: Ocean Shores VCD is Original Mandarin + Canto dub + English subs. (fullscreen + missing opening credits, but watchable) Joysales VCD, Mandarin only, wide, remastered CHINESE subs only. Ocean Shores VCD wins as only legit release in Mandarin with English subs...my choice for viewing the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Gaijin84 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Member Share Posted July 26, 2011 thanks - I don't think the JoySales version has English subs, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member luckystars Posted July 26, 2011 Member Share Posted July 26, 2011 thanks - I don't think the JoySales version has English subs, right? Yeah its Chines subs only. I bought it just in case! Basically I've been rebuying these films for ages. Those old Ocean Shores VCDs are often overlooked...but they do the job. One day these films will get a proper English friendly remester, who knows when though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Gaijin84 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Member Share Posted July 26, 2011 I just picked up the JoySales VCDs of To Kill with Intrigue and Half a Loaf of Kung Fu from DDDHouse... can't beat the cost of $5 each, even without subs. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Killer Meteor Posted July 26, 2011 Member Share Posted July 26, 2011 The Eastern Heroes is inferior to the Columbia dvd which is widescreen anamorphic with a full English dub. Sadly, the Mandarin track on it is incomplete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member luckystars Posted July 27, 2011 Member Share Posted July 27, 2011 My OS VCD at least has original theatrical subs... Anyone tried to sync the Mandarin mono from the Joysales VCD to the Columbia DVD? For those who care, the Ocean Shores VCD Cantonese track is remade.
