Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted November 26, 2009 Member Share Posted November 26, 2009 They are also releasing the Angie Mao flick, Thunderbolt! This is a swordplay flick right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 The Japanese DVD featured the original uncut version, right? Did it have the original title or was it still called The Young Dragons on-screen? Golden Harvest changed the credits too IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member shapes Posted November 27, 2009 Member Share Posted November 27, 2009 the Japanese DVD is the GH re edit, doubt we will evrer see the "Farwell Buddy" orig version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member spannick Posted November 27, 2009 Member Share Posted November 27, 2009 the Japanese DVD is the GH re edit, doubt we will evrer see the "Farwell Buddy" orig version exactly. and all previous Video Releases were the CENSORED GH-Re-edit, so the DVD is still "uncut" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Oh, I see. So it's Golden Harvest-Uncut or Golden Harvest-Censored. I didn't realise there was an "uncut" Golden Harvest. I though the cuts for violence were made by Harvest themselves BEFORE submission as a response to the film being banned in 1973. So was it banned instead in 1974/5 when Harvest submitted it to the censors and then they had to make cuts? I guess a director's cut is out of the question - although we don't know if and what was changed between the original Farewell, Buddy version and The Young Dragons. I don't mind title changes but Harvest's policy of changing credits was uncool. It's amazing the amount of films Raymond Chow "produced" that he had nothing to do with. And unless I'm mistaken John Woo only co-directed Farewell, Buddy, but his name appears solo on The Young Dragons. Very curious. Still need to see the uncut-GH though as it's several mins longer.

Guest Markgway Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 And after Joy Sales made that public fuss about sourcing a better print... we get a censored and grubby non-remaster. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
