Member RogueWarrior Posted November 22, 2011 Member Share Posted November 22, 2011 too bad its letterboxed and NOT anamorphic. Amazon has the language incorrect too, its English. I just looked at my copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Oily Maniac Posted November 22, 2011 Author Member Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have no idea wether they are Bootlegs or not and I don't own any of the releases. But simply saying that they are Bootlegs because they use VHS as a source for their DVDs is not adequate. Bootlegs are about not having licences for the movies, not about the sources the DVD comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member MonkeyFu Posted November 22, 2011 Member Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have no idea wether they are Bootlegs or not Maybe this will help you then. Here is a link to their DVD release of the Shaw Brothers "One-armed Swordsman". http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009WHT4?ie=UTF8&tag=weheartmusic-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B00009WHT4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Oily Maniac Posted November 23, 2011 Author Member Share Posted November 23, 2011 The One Armed Swordsmen is no Shaw Brothers film. It's a rip off made by Wang Yu himself. Perfectly fine for a label to release that film. I am not saying it's not a bootleg label, but the evidence in the other thread is not evidence at all, in my opinion. Thanks for the contributions everybody! Way more stuff out there than I thought. If only some retailer would stock the damn DVDs from Singapore...

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct. I think specifically many (or all?) of the Videoasia titles are in that quasi domain of grey market items. Not illegal but a bit shady.
