    If I don't get hold of.....

    8 Diagram Pole Fighter in the next 2 months I am going to wreak vengeance and FURRRRRRIIIIOUS anger upon the world of dvds! Can't get it in the UK and I don't own a multi region dvd player.


    It sucks!

    OK. So, buy it, then rip it to non-region using the trial version of AnyDVD and CLoneDVD. www.slysoft.com.

    Either that or hack your DVD player and make it all regions. As long as you don't have a Sony there is usually a way to do it.

    Most DVD players have an unlock you just punch in with the remote and it opens up for all regions. Let me know what make and model you have and I'll try to find the code.


    Do you have high speed Internet? Can you download a 700MB file?

    You can answer both in a PM.

    I guess I will just order the one that seems the best. I really wanna see this flick.

    I like the IVL version. Cantonese & Mandarin with English subs.

    Yeah that's the one I have.
    It's like watching a whole other movie compared to the fullscreen poor generation dubbed copy that I had on VHS for years.
    The remaster they did was incredible. Also watching it in cantonese helps me pick up some lingo

    Cool, maybe I'll pick up that version. Don't see it on amazon. What is a better place to get it?

    And, quick question. Why do they have cantonese on so many Chinese movies. I thought that like 90 percent of Chinese used Mandarin.

    The link I posted earlier in this thread is a good place to order. They are fast and I have never had a problem with them. It's the first link by the way. You'll need a player or just hack into yours to play the dvd. Hell the player I got at this korean electronics store sold at 30 bucks! Can't beat that really.

    A lot of those shaws movies especially the Lau Kar Leung directed movies and the like are in cantonese, but they alway made mandarin versions too for the other markets(Mainland, taiwan,etc.).

    That site has alot of good stuff. I'll look into this DVD player hacking business. If only I can find that darn remote.
