Member WaverBoy Posted June 12, 2018 Member Share Posted June 12, 2018 Is there any hope for this seminal Sammo classic? I have the ancient Crash Cinema non-anamorphic DVD mastered from an extremely scratchy print with burned-in subs, but haven't been able to find anything better. At least it gives you a bit of that authentic '70s drive-in experience, and has the original mono track instead of your typical Fortune Star 5.1 abomination.

Member TheKungFuRobber Posted July 11, 2018 Member Share Posted July 11, 2018 Pantyhose Hero wasn't released and never will be because it is considered homophobic and distasteful. I have the old LD and I've transferred it to DVD, to be downloaded from ADC. Warners never bought it out so it gets aired in HD on Malaysian TV regularly. I hate that movie so much, it's not even funny at all. The end fight scene is good though but I've seen better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member WaverBoy Posted February 17, 2020 Member Share Posted February 17, 2020 Since a spiffy English-friendly German Blu-ray/DVD combo of this was released last year under the title DER KLEINE DICKE MIT DEM SUPERSCHLAG (The Little Fat One with the Super Punch), I thought I’d update this thread with a description and Amazon links (many thanks to Spannick for his original thread and info on this most welcome release). No fewer than three versions of the film are contained therein! First up is the main version of the film included here, the restored export version, which looks fantastic and features over three minutes restored to the final fight scenes that were missing from the ancient Crash Cinema DVD, although it is unfortunately missing the (hilarious IMO) bus horse race radio broadcast scene and a couple of other comedy bits. This version runs 91 minutes and features the original Cantonese mono soundtrack as well as the original English and German dubs, plus English subtitles. Next up is the reconstructed full-length version which takes the missing comedy bits and the original HK opening credits sequence from the Crash Cinema DVD and drops them into the restored export cut. This version runs 96 minutes and features the original Cantonese mono soundtrack with English subtitles (burned-in ones for the bits that had to be sourced from the Crash DVD), encoded for some reason at 720p but it still looks good and it’s my preferred version of the film as I actually like the goofy comedy bits. Last up is the German version, which is cut down from the restored export version and runs 82 minutes and features the German dub only. Extras include the original Hong Kong trailer, the original international trailer dubbed in German, a still gallery with German posters and lobby cards, and a nice commentary track for the main export version by the Podcast On Fire crew (Stewart Sutherland, Mike Leeder, and Kenneth Brorsson), as well as a booklet with nice photos and German text if you’re lucky enough to score one of the Mediabook editions. All editions are Blu-ray/DVD except for the standard edition which is Blu-ray only. Here are links to all the versions I found at Amazon.de: Mediabook A Big Hardbox A Mediabook B Big Hardbox C Mediabook D Standard Blu-ray edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be used to do a restoration of the complete version of the film, say by Eureka or 88 Films, if you were to be so generous as to lend out your print...? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
