Guest Dragon Ma Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Does anyone know if there are plans to re-release this? I have the Tai-Seng version which is ok but it would be cool if someone like Dragon Dynasty released it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 The best version at the moment AFAIK is the Eastern Heroes disc. We need a scope release though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monk Sante Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I have the German dvd version of this film.............is the Eastern Heroes version still the best? Here are screen shots of the German DVD: http://www.dtm.at/Reviews/Screen-Die-toedliche-Rache.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thundered mantis Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Monk Sante, I´ve compared the Eastern Heroes version I have with the screenshots you´ve provided, and I have to say that the aspect ratio in the two versions is absolutely identical. And video quality also looks very similar to me. I think the german ed. is 16/9 enhanced? That would give it the edge, at least for me. The Eastern Heroes has both eng and cantonese audio, plus good (I mean readable) eng. subs. Plus a Sammo Hung interview. I dunno about the extra stuff on the German version. But the two are far from perfect. Both are cropped to 1.85, while the OAR was 2.35. That sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monk Sante Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Yes, the Germen version does have the original chinese/eng language as well as good subs. I would love to see this film in widescope remastered.....this happens to be my favorite Kung Fu film of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chen lung Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Yes, the Germen version does have the original chinese/eng language as well as good subs. I would love to see this film in widescope remastered.....this happens to be my favorite Kung Fu film of all time. The EH DVD had terrible subs (dubtitles actually) with annoying "...,,," after everything. The Germans upconverted it to anamorphic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 The EH version is zoomboxed(?) so the German version must have been taken from the same source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
