Member shukocarl Posted October 4, 2011 Member Share Posted October 4, 2011 There is rumoured to be a version that was released that runs 110 mins featuring more fight footage and possibly sequences directed by Chang Cheh. Has anyone ever seen this version. Presumably it did play in HK and probably will never be seen again seeing as Celestial won't be releasing any Shaws co-productions due to rights issues. I'm curios to know if it existed and what the extra footage consisted of? Thanks Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member David Rees Posted October 5, 2011 Member Share Posted October 5, 2011 This has been rumoured for years but no proof as yet of a longer version. But it could turn up, they have just found the legendary cut footage from the original Hammer Dracula (Horror Of Dracula) in Japan and are going to put it back into any new releases of that film on dvd / blu ray.

Member shukocarl Posted October 5, 2011 Author Member Share Posted October 5, 2011 Yeah David, I've been keeping up with the Dracula footage progress. The problem with Legend is, where would the neg/ prints be kept? In Celestial's archives or elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member David Rees Posted October 5, 2011 Member Share Posted October 5, 2011 Good question. Celestial have the negative for Painted Faces which was a Shaw / Golden Harvest co-production so maybe there?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member soundtracksi Posted October 25, 2011 Member Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi, been keen on this subject for year's as Dave know's, in the hammer book it states that when the film was sent to the UK that it had de wolfe music all over it before Mr Bernards s score was put on , has this version ever been seen in HK at all ?, they say the lab work was done in japan on the print, yet its warners release over there on vid very odd that no one has ever seen the longer version , yet as they say i think its out there somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
