The Bodyguard from Beijing (88 Films) Blu-ray

Bloody Miramax asking too much money for an English dub!

Was there no alternative original English audio available for this or was Miramax the only route?

- The Miramax version was cut and also in 5.1. Trying to patch something together would've been a nightmare, and using a downfold would've upset somebody somewhere.
- No idea if there was an English dub made when this came out. I'd imagine so but I've never heard of it.
- I don't think any of this matters. Fist of Legend didn't have an English dub, and there was both an original dub and a Miramax dub. The licensor, which I believe is the same one for this film, presumably didn't allow it for whatever reasons. I'd imagine something similar is at play here.

China Star Entertainment Group was the licensor, not Miramax.
