connie movie 紅鸞星&#2120

Postby stooges0 » Thu Feb 16, 2006 3:15 am

1> hk just showed this on tv.

2> this movie has been out on vcd for a few years already by china arts fe video production (and not suprise it contain chop off scene).

3> I just found out that hkwinson.com will be bringing this movie out again tomorrow feb 16 in vcd and dvd.

4> it is silly to bring out the same movie into the market again when it is already selling. we want new title not old title and the problem is hkwinson.com don't have a email you can write to them advising this matter. their email id looks like it is shut down.

5> this is the 3rd known movie that hkwinson.com is/has bringing/brought out into the market while other company previously brought them out before hkwinson.com don't they know these movie has been already out? or unless these tv station want to earn a big buck and sell what they have (including chop off scene to cater their time spot) to various movie company to get extra $.

6> hkwinson.com should concentrate to bring out new title not old title.
thanks for reading my comment

re: INCREDIBLE RUMOUR

At least Winson offers a DVD and, from Winson's images, it appears to be the correct aspect ratio (see below). The old China Art vcd was cropped on the sides, the colour faded (that doesn't seem fixed) and the print in pretty poor condition (can't tell from Winson images). Both versions have English subs. Also, the older version ran only 84 minutes, this one 88 minutes, so it _might_ be longer, or probably just a PAL/NTSC difference. HKFA list the original running time as 96 minutes, so it looks like it's still cut, maybe a song?.

BTW, who is the Mandarin singer who sings San Francisco? Is that her name in the neon sign on stage?

Shocker: Yesasia lists it as as anamorphic and remastered!

What a difference! Personally, I would not mind at all if Winson started rereleasing some of China Art's titles. Especially if the DVD sells for $7.99 like it is at YesAsia right now!
