Member Poelie Posted April 8, 2009 Member Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yes, too bad. Got this email from Johnny from DDDHouse: Distributor EDKO announces "Ong Bak 2 (2008)" will not be released within April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Mark Pollard Posted April 8, 2009 Member Share Posted April 8, 2009 Interesting. HKFlix didn't mention a delay. I wouldn't be surprised if Edko got a call from Magnolia when news broke and they're now scrubbing the English subs off their discs. There is potential for thousands of dollars of lost revenue for Magnolia, not counting the bootlegs already in circulation, if the HK version shipped with subs.

Guest WuxiaFan Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 DVDAsian.com says the release date is 4/13/09 for the Edko version: http://www.dvdasian.com/_e/Thailand/product/37983/Ong_Bak_2_Region_3_DVD_.htm Play-Asia.com says the release date is 4/9/09 for the Edko version: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-7k-49-en-15-ong+bak-70-3c18-43-9.html It will be interesting to see if they list it as "in stock" tomorrow.

Member mark187 Posted April 8, 2009 Member Share Posted April 8, 2009 my guess is...it's not coming out tomorrow, and when it comes out it won't have the eng subs. I hope I'm wrong, but I've decided just to hang on to the Thai version when it comes. It's been almost 2 weeks, and still not here...damn Yesasia screwing up their shipping times to the US!

I recommend eThaicd.com for Thai titles. They've never let me down. My Thai DVD of ONG-BAK 2 shipped very quickly, and looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mark187 Posted April 8, 2009 Member Share Posted April 8, 2009 thanks for the reminder, I've ordered a couple cds from them before, and they shipped super fast! next time I'll keep them in mind...for Ong Bak 3 or whatever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I miss somthing? I was responding to Mark187's having waited a long time for the Thai DVD. That's the one I ordered, and you read correct info on the site- there ARE NOT English subs on the official Thai release. I ordered it anyway. I knew someone would probably wind up sending me a fan-subbed boot, but I couldn't wait to see the film looking the way it's supposed to, and I wanted to support the legit release. Will I buy it again when a special feature-rich, English subtitled edition becomes available? You bet! There are very few movies that I'm into enough to do this with, but ONG-BAK 2 is certainly one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most definitely, I have to run for work but I watched this last night and will post later when I have more time, but I will say I loved it, it's the brutal bone breaking blood slashing asskicking movie I've been waiting for, not to say it isn't with it's flaws but the intention of bringing back a true oldschool KF(I use this term loosly as it was great seeing many styles in there) is there. My favorite part was his fight with the two Muay Thai guys at the end, there was some awesome exchanges in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member MrSuzuki Posted April 15, 2009 Member Share Posted April 15, 2009 It's uncanny because just the other day we had the Michael Jackson topic, and now I see that Tony Jaa looks like the exact replica of Michael Jackson on this movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't insult the man. I'm going to rewatch both parts back to back soon since my friend never seen the first one, a Jaa double feature!

Moderator Asmo Posted April 17, 2009 Moderator Share Posted April 17, 2009 I think I know why the HK dvds have been held back. Would it be alright to say so? I was informed by a reliable source who ordered copies direct from the supplier so I'd say he'd be telling the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Asmo Posted April 17, 2009 Moderator Share Posted April 17, 2009 There must have been a fault in the manufacturing process. My source had received a sample copy and he said it would not play properly at points. He was told that the whole batch carried those faults. No word on how long it would take to correct. It did have subtitles though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member MLee Posted April 18, 2009 Member Share Posted April 18, 2009 I got hold of a good dvd copy with subs. Subs were late to appear on screen during the first half of the movie but was ok afterwards. I thought the movie was easy to follow and the action was very well choreographed. Still I would have liked to seen a better one on one fight near the end. Most of the action was against multiple opponents. I also recently got the original thai dvd but I haven't checked that yet.
