Sha Po Lang DVD Announced!

Here's an interesting twist...I just got a newsletter in my inbox today saying that the HK cut is on DVD and available now. Nothing indicates this is a pre-order...

for that price it's got to be the mainland edition which is a LONG way from being uncut ...

It says it's PAL too, so it's not the HK release. Do they use PAL in mainland China?

Ah man,I'm all over the HK disc.

ALL OVER IT!

That "UNCUT China DVD" is not uncut at all. It's still cut. It's just that the true ending to the film is presented like an alternate ending option.

Daniel- I suspected this much. I appreciate the clarification.

Were the fight scenes cut on the mainland version? I dl'd it a while ago and I thought the Wu vs Donnie and the Sammo/donnie fights were extremely short.

I think if anything was cut from the Jack vs. Ma fight it was at the end and something on the order seeing the weapon do its damage.

The Ma vs Po was cut on the order of a couple minutes..the ending was drastically changed.

There were also some other cuts made as well- Chan's squad bust in or a group of Po's men..that was cut; Jack's face off with Lok was also cut.

That's all I can remember from the top of my head.

Update..the HK cut IS avail on DVD:

IMDB lists the running time of this film when played at TIFF as 97 minutes. Yesasia lists the HK disk as having a 94 minute running time. Is this another chopped version?!

No. The chopped versions are around 88 min. I have the plain jane just the movie on DVD and its run time is 92...couldn't tell what the extra 2 minutes are..
