in a somewhat interesting news, I found someone in Peru that will look for it. He knows the movies very well but told me it's hard to find used & news copy of movies, both original & copy after the movie is released. It's like a limited run and when it runs out, it's OOP. I said I'm interested in multiple copies as well. So in the event that he find some, I'll surely tell the folks here first and sell at cost. fingers crossed.

Man I hope so. I've been quietly looking for years and no dice. I spoke to someone from Lima and he said the market for physical media has dried up.

Good luck!

It's good to know this exists on disc beyond the publicity shots. I abandoned the hunt, thinking it would be a wild goose chase.

Does anyone know anything about the German release of The Shrine (2012)? Haven't been able to find any other posts about it, unclear if this is just another German autoconversion or if it's worth getting.

I received Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny 3D Blu-ray. It has Cantonese Chinese, Mandarian Chinese Audio But, no english audio. It has English Subtitles. The version that aired on Netflix has English audio.

As mentioned in the Asian 3D imports thread, I have uploaded English subtitles synced to the Japanese 3D Blu-ray releases of Kamen Rider World and Kamen Rider Black RX: Run All Over the World:

These titles are both included in the Kamen Rider The Movie Blu-ray Box 1972-1988 set:

That's right. Despite being filmed in English, it was only released on 3D Blu-ray dubbed into Chinese.

Hi all - have seen mention in the forum that the only English friendly release of “Asterix & Obelix - On Her Majesty’s Service” is the Turkish release, yet the page for the French 3D Blu ray indicates it has English subtitles (there’s a cutoff note linking to an fnac video that i can’t seem to find, not sure what it clarifies). Most other sites online also suggest this release has English subs (this French review says it has both English audio AND English subs!) Can anyone confirm or deny if this is the case? Thanks!

French releases are among the most English-unfriendly in the world though and my understanding was that the French version has NO English option, but I don't own it so I can't say for sure. I bought the Brazilian edition, which has English subtitles

I think every edition has English subtitles, but like you, I got the Brazilian version and it indeed does have English dub.

I have uploaded English subtitles for another Japanese-only 3D Blu-ray, Tofu Boy (more details in the Asian 3D imports thread). Here they are:
