Ocean Shores Video Ltd. was formed in 1978 and one of the first major video producers in the Far East. Their releases for the Hong Kong market very often were in widescreen with original embedded English and Chinese subtitles. – Unfortunately, with their expansion into overseas markets, they released their English versions in fullscreen. In many cases their Mandarin versions without subtitles are simply zoomed-in subtitled prints, thus having matted the embedded subtitles away!
