Member Killer Meteor Posted March 6, 2009 Member Share Posted March 6, 2009 Wasn't there a technical fault in the first pressing, hence the delay.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TimB Posted March 6, 2009 Member Share Posted March 6, 2009 I got my copy in the mail today from The Right Stuf International. There's a commentary track on the disc, but it's not listed on the packaging. It's accessible from the audio menu. Also the disc features a credit-less opening in the extras section. The only other things on the disc is trailers for four of their other Shaw Bros. movies (nothing new) a still photo gallery and a recent Celestial trailer for the Brave Archer. Edit: Almost forgot to mention. The number on the spine is 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted March 6, 2009 Member Share Posted March 6, 2009 Commentary? Is it with Toby, Robert Tai and Suen Shu Pau? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TimB Posted March 6, 2009 Member Share Posted March 6, 2009 The commentary is with Brian Camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted March 6, 2009 Member Share Posted March 6, 2009 Oh cool. I've read a bunch of his reviews. I can't remember if it was Brave Archer or Life GAmble that was supposed to have the Toby Russel commentary. But it looks like that commentary must be officially dead.

Member Killer Meteor Posted March 7, 2009 Member Share Posted March 7, 2009 Maybe the lack of a Russel commentary was a blessing. He's a great guy but he mumbles so much he makes Brando seem coherent Now about this Brave Archer disc Anamorphic? Progressive? Mandarin mono? English mono? Original dub? Anything else?

Member TimB Posted March 8, 2009 Member Share Posted March 8, 2009 Anamorphic? Yup Progressive? I don't see any combing when pausing scenes in motion. So I'm guessing yes. Mandarin mono? Yup English mono? English mono and 5.1 Original dub? Sounds like an older dub to me, but I'm no expert on the subject I took these screen shots using PowerDVD, they have been slightly compressed for smaller file sizes but should give you an idea of the quality.

Member Shaolin Patriot Posted March 9, 2009 Member Share Posted March 9, 2009 Besides The Right Stuf International, has anyone received their copy from any of the other online retailers? If so, where did you get it? Most retailers still have it listed as either discountinued or on pre-order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Killer Meteor Posted March 10, 2009 Member Share Posted March 10, 2009 I've just ordered one from Caiman or DVD Legacy (I forget which!) on Amazon UK marketplace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Postulio Posted March 13, 2009 Member Share Posted March 13, 2009 I bought my copy at the retail store FYE (For Your Entertainment), last weekend. The FYE store online still says preorder for April 10th, but I saw a few copies in two of their stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
