The Legend of Fong Sai Yuk 1 & 2 (Deluxe Limited Edition) 88 Films

[Alexcap]

not botherd if the subtitles for hong kong films are not accurate as long as the films have subtitles for the cantonese or mandarin and not dubtitles for them because i hate them.

I think the objection Animal and Matt presented was about people complaining when they don't actually know what they're talking about.

For example...

Yes. Different company, different subtitles.

And it’ll be uncut! Although, I already own the 88 versions of all five films in that upcoming set. Oh well, at least I’ll have some additional different extras. And I only had the Blu-ray version of the Fong Sai Yuk set, so it’ll be nice to have those in 4K too.

And where did you get the information on this?

I think it just a reprint of the 88 film version. The only different may be just the special extra feature/interview.

It'll be the same scan as the 88 version, which was delivered to them uncut. Compulsory cuts for a horse fall had to be made, which won't be the case for the US release.

What's the likelyhood of Shout splitting these movies into future seperate releases? Really only interested in Fong Sai Yuk for the uncut print, the other stuff I already have from 88 Films...

I'm not aware of any precedent for that with these recent box sets. With the big deal they're making about this being a new label, they might handle it a bit differently from the Shawvelware boxes, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

That's very unlikely.
