Member movie freak Posted August 29, 2008 Member Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hello I was just wondering if anyone owns or has seen the fortune star remaster of chinese ghost story? if so, is it region free and are the subtitles bad? if anyone can give me some info i'd appreciate it so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Delirious Posted August 29, 2008 Member Share Posted August 29, 2008 i have the trilogy in the nice cardboard boxset. 3 discs. The image is rather well done. The colors are brighter than HKL version, but not as sharp as the HKL. Region free, the subs are understandable. I definitely refer this version, it looks sharp on your shelves.

Member tdb Posted August 29, 2008 Member Share Posted August 29, 2008 If you're talking about the Deltamac/Fortune Star discs, according to the information I have they are Region 3/6. As for the subs...it's been awhile since I've watched them, but I don't remember them being atypical (take that as you will). The old Mega Star/Media Asia discs were region free. Dunno how the subs were. I guess you're talking about the Joy Sales/Fortune Star box. It's region free; subs probably are the old Deltamac subs. The Mega Star and Deltamac discs are out of print. It looks like if you really want to seem these movies, the Joy Sales box is the only option. Here's a dvdtalk review of the set: Chinese Ghost Story Trilogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted August 30, 2008 Member Share Posted August 30, 2008 Part 3 is my fav and part 1 is close behind. Part 2 I thought was by far the weakest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member GwaiLoMoFo Posted August 30, 2008 Member Share Posted August 30, 2008 The English translation is terrible, with many grammatical and syntax errors ("We'll never meat again"). The poor subtitles make the movies' storylines even more confusing than they should be. That sux! I still have the old Megastar discs, have been wanting toup-grade mine as well. If I can find a deal on the HKL's I'll go with them. Ill use Joy Sales version as a last resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
