Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain - Eureka, 20th April

[Shingster]

I'm sure there are a few here who remember the good old days when HK film fans were convinced that the export version of the film (Zu: Time Warrior) was in fact the original director's cut and they demanded that HKL release that cut instead of the original HK? That was until they listened to the audio commentary where Hark finally put that "rumour" to bed?

Yeah undoubtedly, I just find it really bizarre anyone would claim 1.66:1 as the original ratio for HK films of that era given the extreme rarity of that ratio in that industry!

Speaking of which... The Time Warriors was the export title for The Iceman Cometh (also starring Yuan Biao).
