Member gwailosforever Posted January 7, 2014 Member Share Posted January 7, 2014 This movie came out in August and had a lot of really good hype.. i would think after about 5 months a dvd would be available...any news? There is almost no official DVD market in Vietnam as 99% of DVD's are pirated. It's not worth the production companies releasing DVDs of their films once the theatrical run has ended. The only other country to release the film theatrically so far is Australia. They should be the first territory to put out a legit Blu-Ray/DVD possibly in March-April. To see which other countries have bought the film and will release it 2014 click here http://twitchfilm.com/2013/08/once-upon-a-time-in-vietnam-is-coming-to-america.html No news on a UK deal yet.

Member derwood Posted January 8, 2014 Member Share Posted January 8, 2014 an Australian DVD site has it for pre order with a release of March 12th 2014 EZYDVD-OUATIV but that only comes up when you do a google search, it doesnt appear if you search on their site which makes me wonder how confirmed it is the cover art shows the fanasia label & PINNICLE FILMS who are behind fan asia ent. Australia do not have it listed on their website (even in the coming soon section) I guess we'll find out in a couple of months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A case of. "It's okay but nothing special." I'll still give it a go when it finally makes it to US shores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Drunken Monk Posted April 10, 2014 Author Member Share Posted April 10, 2014 After skimming through this film, I definitely won't be picking up a copy. It looks nice and has pretty solid performances but the action is few and far between and the action there is is either filled with quick edits or just isn't all that good. Granted, I haven't given the entire film a full watch but I've been put off from what I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
