Member oldeschool17 Posted October 6, 2008 Member Share Posted October 6, 2008 Wow, how in hell is Blu Ray 5 cents cheaper than the DVD release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member clayk Posted January 16, 2010 Member Share Posted January 16, 2010 It looks like Funimation is also releasing this. There is a preorder up on Amazon with an April 27th release date. I wander how/if it will differ from the original BCI release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wander how/if it will differ from the original BCI release? Probably no blu-ray Aside from that, in regards to the DVD itself, they'll probably change the menus and try to make it connect more with the other discs.

Member HAZ Posted May 21, 2010 Member Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hi, Did Funimation include both Mandarin & Cantonese tracks on their DVD? The box only says Mandarin. I think the previous DVD's had both. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member David Rees Posted May 22, 2010 Member Share Posted May 22, 2010 Dont know who picked there titles to release but Life Gamble is a terrible movie there are so many better titles that could have been released.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted May 22, 2010 Member Share Posted May 22, 2010 I liked Life Gamble. It kept me interested all the way through. Now Journey of the Doomed, that's a terrible movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member HAZ Posted May 22, 2010 Member Share Posted May 22, 2010 Wow, looks like the Funimation DVD of Opium is in Mandarin. I can't believe they didn't include Cantonese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted May 22, 2010 Member Share Posted May 22, 2010 It doesn't look like they included any of the special features either from the BCI disc. At least when I saw it at the store I didn't see any special features listed. I wonder if this has to do with paying for the rights to the special features and Cantonese track, or if it's just laziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member HAZ Posted May 22, 2010 Member Share Posted May 22, 2010 Cantonese is the "correct" lang for this film. Mandarin ain't right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member OldPangYau Posted May 22, 2010 Member Share Posted May 22, 2010 I still don't know how that happened... they got it right with HK Godfather and managed to have the proper Cantonese track, so why they'd only put Mandarin on OATKFM (especially 1984 film, in which most films were Cantonese) when they also had a Cantonese option, makes no sense.

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted May 22, 2010 Member Share Posted May 22, 2010 So they've screwed up 3 out of 4 releases so far. Not a good ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member HAZ Posted May 22, 2010 Member Share Posted May 22, 2010 I guess the BCI DVD & BR will be collectibles now. I don't know how that happened. BCI put out a fine DVD & they screwed it up! All they had to do was reissue it. Maybe their contract didn't allow for it, but I think it's more like they didn't know which one was correct.

Well, I have my blu-ray, so I won't feel so bad about collecting the Funimation DVDs... never did get the BCI DVD of Life Gamble though. However, it seems like you need both of those to be complete: BCI for the extras, Funimation for the English dub. This is starting to remind me of the "glory days" of HKL when it seemed like they were constantly releasing movies in the wrong Chinese language. Snake in the Eagle's Shadow and Drunken Master in Mandarin when they should be Cantonese and Big Boss, Fist of Fury, and Way of the Dragon in Cantonese when they should be Mandarin. Oy.

Member plus Posted May 23, 2010 Member Share Posted May 23, 2010 I am always confused about these original language debates. Weren't all SB films shot without sound and then foleyed and dubbed into many languages? I may be missing the point or wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
