Unfortunately, there is no shipping estimate when you order it. "We'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item. It will be dispatched separately. You can cancel at any time." Not that big of a deal, I ordered a handful of other cheap Blu-Rays from there as well.

I e-mailed Amazon UK and was given a reply stating they didn't have any in stock and they are waiting for them to arrive from suppliers even though their website says it is "in stock".

Anyone able to find any reviews for the Magnolia release? The date is fast approaching and I want to know if I should keep or cancel my order.

DVDBeaver has shots of the Magnolia version of the International cut on their site. I assume the longer cut by Magnolia looks about the same.

Thank you so very much.

Does anyone know if any of the versions is english dubbed? I see on best buy website they have the Us version, the international part I + II version and then a seperate international part I and a separate part II.

I hate subtitles so only looking for somethign that is english dubbed.

nope, thank God for them respecting the original artists intentions and releasing an original language track only. There is NO english dubbing created for any versions of this movie

mealto · 03-22-2010, 08:16 PM

So what are the differences between these 3?

Amazon.co.uk:

Red Cliff Blu-ray special edition

Amazon.com:

Red Cliff Part I & II Blu-ray international version

Amazon.ca:

Red Cliff Part I & II Blu-ray international version (Amazon.ca import of the US above ^^)

Red Cliff Blu-ray extended cut (La falaise rouge )

Aspect ratios are different and length times vary a little. Can anyone share some light on these?

Sweetmeats · 03-22-2010, 08:35 PM

DVDBeaver lists a dub track for the cut version at the link above.

Speaking of which, I finally gave up on the very unpromising English dub when General Zhang Fei yells "Charge" sounding a little too much like Arsenic and Old Lace's Teddy Roosevelt.

Harlock415 · 03-22-2010, 09:05 PM

I may get the US release if it gets a good review. I already have the reference quality HK versions, But I still like the idea of supporting it so that we can see more releases like this in the future.

RocShemp · 03-22-2010, 09:09 PM

So Magnolia is releasing four versions? There's an International Version and a Theatrical Version in addition to their releasing Part I and Part II separately.

Yeah, that wont confuse people.

you're right , the severly butchered and cut release WILL have a dub track. Forgot about that one

MCT · 03-22-2010, 10:13 PM

off topic, but is anyone else having trouble with Magnolia movies playing in their players? I rented Bronson and Ong Bak, and neither one would play in my Sammy BD-1600, but they played just fine in my god son's Phillips. What sucks is this is something I just now realized, yet the Red Cliff movie just shipped from AMZ and its on its way now, and I won't be home to refuse delivery.

Is your firmware up to date?

MCT · 03-23-2010, 02:03 AM

well it plays every other studio's movies with no problem....but I suppose I should try updating the firmware, although I'm leery of doing so, as I've heard stories of people installing new firmware and mucking up the player completely.

Mr Brzozowski · 03-23-2010, 02:49 AM

Which is better? I am interested in them but not sure which to buy.

I'm curious as well. I saw this on HDNet a few months back but didn't know there was a longer version. Should I be picking up the international version to get it all? Any difference between that and the separate Part 1 and 2 releases?

Sweetmeats · 03-23-2010, 03:18 AM

Get the International version. It's both movies in one package.

mealto · 03-23-2010, 04:48 AM

Looks like my last post with 4 Amazon links did not get approved for posting. Let me try this again.

Anyone know the version differences between the UK, USA and 2 Canadian versions at Amazon? Screen ratio and time vary a little. Any suggestions for which one to purchase?
