Guest andras Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I have searched here and on Google but couldn't find anything on the censorship issues of the Thai versions of Shaw Brothers films. All I know is that they are downconverted on dvd-5,but that's not an issue on the titles I want to pick up (New Tales of Flying Fox,Black Magic...) since they were single-layer in HK anyway. I need info from people who actually bought some of those Thai releases that includes violence/sex (like Black magic) and confirm to me that they are uncut or not. I want to place an order at www.thaicdexpress.com and need a certain amount of titles to fill in my Fed Ex package. Thanx in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BKarza Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I have bought a number of the Thai Shaw dvds. The Celestial ones are the exact cuts as the HK ones. The difference was in packaging, audio(Thai and mandarin...no cantonese) and no extras. As far as violence goes, I can't speak on Black Magic but, I got 3 of the Lone Wolf and Cub titles. They are the Thai versions done by Animego. Not a thing cut and those are full of violence and some nudity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andras Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Thanx,the Thai distrib who put out the Baby Cart discs are actually the same who has the Shaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brown Mang Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 HKflix has these Thai Shaw dvds, United Home Entertainment region 0. Are these unofficial/bootlegs? I heard to avoid region 0 stuff, but there's a few titles I would like. Im also asking because I would hate to buy these if UHE is like PanMedia, bad all around. Thanks. And Hi, Im new. Hope you got room for one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnnydragon Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Thai's are cut for nudity on some vcds and dvds I have from United Home, they have a lic to put out shaws. why not get the China DVD-9 releases nothing cut on the titles I have quality is just under IVL from what I heard they are R0. Hkfx is selling them for 9.99. I get them from Buy Yo for like $3.23ea U.S plus shipping and they give you these dollars you can use to buy more stuff or put towards shipping. DDD house good as well. for U.S stuff DVD Pacific the new Crash Masters 8.23 and fusain 5.53 and shipping like a dollar 1.55 for 2 DVD's! in the U.S if you didn't know now you know!

Guest andras Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Got them Thai Shaws,they are uncut all right (Black Magic too),packaging is superior to the HK versions having a high res original poster art reproduced inside (sure beats a slipcase). So now You know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Nakadai Posted April 2, 2011 Member Share Posted April 2, 2011 So basically they're only worth getting if the intended audio is mandarin and IVL was a DVD5? I bought The One Armed Swordsman years ago and it looked pretty crappy so i've steered clear since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
