Member Killer Meteor Posted June 10, 2020 Member Share Posted June 10, 2020 The IVL discs included new sound effects. How is the English track on the 88 Films version? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Ramji Posted June 11, 2020 Member Share Posted June 11, 2020 I was one of the lucky ones and received my copy a week or so back. I’ve watched it twice (both cuts) and it’s a fantastic release, looks and sounds amazing. Watching it this time, and still thoroughly enjoying it, it did strike me at how dumb Jackie made the women out to be in this film, plus there’s some pretty poor racial stereotypes, so it’s not without it’s problems! So much energy and truly fantastic action though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got my copy of Clan of the White Lotus from 88 Films and i need to know if something is wrong with my copy. On the Cantonese track it goes silent for a few seconds at 1:11:18 just after Hung Wen-Ting attacks Priest White Lotus on his ear from behind. And the audio comes back at about 1:11:23. Was that on purpose because he hit him on the ear? Or is it a goof on the Blu Ray? I tried 2 different media players on my computer that i use to play Blu Rays and same problem on both. I even ripped it to my computer and still have the issue. It doesn't do that on the English track. Also i have a copy of the IVL release on my computer and on both the Cantonese Track and Mandarin track it does not go silent there. So it should not do that on the 88 release. If anybody else owns this, can you see if yours does that. I would appreciate it. Here is a visual cue if it helps. It happens a second after this hit. Same flaw here... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens a second after this hit. @Duel to the Death, @Asmo, I was at a 35mm screening of CLAN OF THE WHITE LOTUS (a vintage, original language, English subtitled print) just a few years ago, and I'm fairly certain the sound cuts out during that scene to indicate damage from the strike to Lo Lieh's ear. @Killer Meteor is correct about the added sound effects on the IVL DVDs, and this may be an example of one of those times. How is the picture quality on the release? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted June 11, 2020 Member Share Posted June 11, 2020 I watched it a while ago and I don't remember this, but maybe it's on purpose to show that Gordon Liu's strike has had its effect on the supposedly invincible Lo Lieh... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tex Killer Posted June 11, 2020 Member Share Posted June 11, 2020 Checked both audios in IVL and after hit to ear Lo Liehs sentence when he talks are complete. In 88 half or so are missing so if it`s done on purpose very odd decision. Pic quality is good but not among best of 88 Shaws. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Duel to the Death Posted June 11, 2020 Member Share Posted June 11, 2020 Ya I would not consider missing dialog to be added sound effects. So it is odd part of the dialog is cut off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Duel to the Death Posted June 13, 2020 Member Share Posted June 13, 2020 I bought 2 movies from them on the same day but 2 separate orders. They shipped them both on May 26th. I got one of them on June 9th and I'm still waiting on the other. I wish I would of bought them in the same order but the second movie was unplanned spur of the moment decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Duel to the Death Posted June 13, 2020 Member Share Posted June 13, 2020 Here i made a clip of the 2 side by side. Clip 1 is the IVL version and Clip 2 is 88 Films. You can hear his laugh and 1 or 2 words are cut off. Maybe 88 Films will address it eventually. They still haven't got back to me. I'm not going to return it or anything. It looks too nice on the shelf. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious too was it done on purpose, to that very scene it would make sense but bad decision tho. Andi if flaw while some seconds do not really matter but as these are not budget releases quality control should be better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you go, can say it better than me. https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=824931 I think the extended cut makes a better film actually, although it highlights a few more of the troublesome depictions of women and racial stereotyping. There’s a couple extra flashes of Jackie trickery which is nice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
