I wonder if this will be the uncut version? As far as I know, the BBFC has never approved the uncut version before.

Nope the snake vs cat fight is cut for animal cruelty.

Mediumrare released a DVD in 2013 and that still had to be cut.

Could you let me know if they included the alternative opening scene of Snake In The Eagles Shadow which mentions the history of the fued between the Eagles Claw Clan and the Snake Fist School?

I contacted 88-Films and offered them the footage, they replied saying we’ll contact you if we’re interested, but no one ever contacted me about the footage. So I assume they probably already had and were going to include it. 
 

Did they?

Thanks so much for offering the footage though @Ninja Sinai. If they hadn't already found a source... Anyway, never hesitate to step forward if you've got something you think might be a cool contribution.

Happy to confirm- yes, the 88 Films release of ROBOTRIX will be completely uncut.

I've never seen this alternate opening to SITES!  Is its inclusion available as an alternate version of the film, or is it just tucked away as an extra?

so the opening scene with sheng kuan vs snake master with the voice over was the official intro after the credits?

Good enough!  It's one of my all-time favorites, so any "new" content is a welcome surprise. 

Is the soundtrack the original version?  As opposed to the soundalike stuff from later releases.  From the trailer, it sounds like the Jarre, Space, and Johnny Harris stuff should all be in there.

Does not include the soundtrack from the original Rank vhs release 

 

gutted this didn’t appear but it’s still a wicked release.

Now I'm confused.  By "original," I meant the version that used pre-existing music from sources like The Spy Who Loved Me and Bloomfield, as opposed to entirely new compositions. 


Ideally, the opening credits should sound like this:

Does SITES include the English dub found on the HKL DVD? As the score on that version is waaaaay better than the original score.

Yes it includes this but it’s missing the original rank soundtrack

Nope, the Mclane Explosion one.

 

You just blew my mind.  I always thought the discrepancy in the exact sound of the song was due to degraded media or improper transfers (maybe some PAL-speed conversion in there), etc..  It was a cover all along!  

 

Either way, sounds like this is indeed the SITES soundtrack I've known and loved for decades on the new Blu-Ray, so I'm all in.
