Member Killer Meteor Posted May 17, 2008 Member Share Posted May 17, 2008 Looks good! Ive ordered one from HK FLIX who seem to have pre-street batch. I'll see how it goes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member chen lung Posted May 17, 2008 Member Share Posted May 17, 2008 I like the menus (rather intrusive font though) . Most curious about the subtitles however. Will be a likely upgrade (from my IVL DVD and Warner VHS) if it's really good. A trailer for the 'Shaolin Challenges Ninja' version is going on Ebay with another 3 Shaw movies. I did tell DD, but it's a shame they couldn't get a few months before hand . Not my favourite movie during the first half (lots of tomfoolery), but a better presentation might improve it a little. An otherwise classic and respective display of Chinese/Japanese Martial Arts . Thanks Ol/Teako! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member oldeschool17 Posted May 18, 2008 Author Member Share Posted May 18, 2008 When and where did you guys order your copies? hkflix this past tuesday or wednesday i think. If anybody would like me to post up screens of subs, lemme know which scenes/subs you want me to capture and ill post them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member chen lung Posted May 18, 2008 Member Share Posted May 18, 2008 Thanks! They haven't sorted the subtitle placement by putting them over half the bar and the picture (that example is for 2:35:1 movies). I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I sense a correction job. Whilst better than Celestial's offering, it's still not a retranslation to fix any missed jokes. Were there any flubtitles (grammar errors, etc) and do you happen to have the IVL DVD to compare ?

Member HAZ Posted May 18, 2008 Member Share Posted May 18, 2008 The subs in that screen cap are slightly different than the IVL dvd... I hope that's a good sign! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member oldeschool17 Posted May 18, 2008 Author Member Share Posted May 18, 2008 I just watched the bey logan tribute to LKL which i thought was good. He talked about LKL, Gordon Liu, Kurata, and the different martial arts represented in Heroes of the East. Chen if you can, run your IVL copy against my DD caps.. I have a feeling the subs are identical other than placement and maybe the timing. Click on each individual thumbnail for bigger image: Thanks!

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted May 18, 2008 Member Share Posted May 18, 2008 Shame it doesn't have an interview with LKL. I would double dip if it did. Hopefully they get at least 1 interview with him in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member thehangman Posted May 18, 2008 Member Share Posted May 18, 2008 My Fave Gordon Liu film. I dont think LKL wanted to be interviewed on film i read somewhere,which is a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member chen lung Posted May 18, 2008 Member Share Posted May 18, 2008 I donno if the "Condemned" sentence has correct grammar or punctuation - suggesting a slightly sub-par correction job. However, I got rid of my IVL (can't remember how lol) and would appreciate comparison captures if anyone's got time please just to see how much of an improvement . Looks like it's probably officially the 27th now ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member oldeschool17 Posted May 18, 2008 Author Member Share Posted May 18, 2008 Did dragon dynasty ever say they were gonna re-translate subs? I could have sworn the subs from the previous titles were either dubtitles or the exact same IVL ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn the subs from the previous titles were either dubtitles or the exact same IVL ones. They certainly appeared to be the same - a massive letdown. LKL wanted a massive amount for interview - his health might not be upto doing one either. Anyway, I think my favourite scene is likely the final one with all the Masters and Ho To together .

Member HAZ Posted May 18, 2008 Member Share Posted May 18, 2008 I think these are a cleaned up version of the subs. If the grammer is okay, then they leave it alone or slightly reword things to make them sound better. "She was ugly as a child" on the IVL version was "She was ugly as a kid." The "condemned" line reads fine to me. There could have been a comma after "long ago", but it makes perfect sense, unlike alot of the subs from the 36th chamber DVD.
