Member fiol Posted October 19, 2012 Member Share Posted October 19, 2012 Guys, i found the original vhs here in China (it was released in China sometime ago), it s supposed to have only mandarin dub and maybe without subtitles. The guy told me the vhs works fine and the condition is pretty good. Do you think is it worth it? I know it`s been released on vcd/ld/vhs in HK back then but i couldnt track it down when i was there. Here in the red land i got the chance to find a genuine vhs for this movie... u guys think i should go for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted October 19, 2012 Administrator Share Posted October 19, 2012 No. It's available now as a remastered, subtitled, letterboxed print. Why pick up a VHS? Unless you want it strictly for the "collectible" factor. Is it expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted October 19, 2012 Administrator Share Posted October 19, 2012 ...It is? Not as an official DVD release. Are you sure you're thinking of Painted Faces? Oh yes sir. 100% sure. I'd heard that Celestial/IVL had this and was going to release it along with their remastered Shaw Brothers films. Then I waited very impatiently for many years, but it was never released. Then I heard that it was finally shown on their HD channel, and I knew it was only a matter of time before someone recorded it from there and put it on a DVD-R. Well that did happen, and it's now available in trading circles. It's not a super wide 2:40:1 film- if memory serves me, it was shot in 1:85:1, but it still makes a huge difference seeing it in the proper aspect ratio.

Moderator Asmo Posted October 21, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 21, 2012 If it's only for collection purposes you should get it if you want it. It's a hard film to track down in any form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The library I work in has the official Video CD version of the film, but yeah, it is hard to track down otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
