Member andy338 Posted August 3, 2013 Member Share Posted August 3, 2013 http://www.play.com/DVD/Blu-ray/4-/47791117/-/Product.html Just seen this is due out on 14th October, it's been a poor year for martial arts UK dvd/blu ray releases so it's good to see the occasional title still coming through.

Member tenebre Posted August 4, 2013 Member Share Posted August 4, 2013 Curious what version it will be. Mirmaxe seems to be awesome as making sure every regions is stuck with their butcher dub cuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Keung Posted August 6, 2013 Member Share Posted August 6, 2013 I quite enjoy the original English dub for this film. Entertainment in Video released it on VHS and DVD. Neither were widescreen, but uncut I believe. According to Amazon, this Blu-ray release will be 86 minutes (US cut with PAL speedup?) and released by...Mediumrare? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Operation-Condor-Armour-God-Blu-ray/dp/B00DJ5N8H0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1375805668&sr=8-2&keywords=operation+condor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Markgway Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 so if it's 86 min how much has been cut? If it's PAL, about 15 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member blue_skies Posted August 9, 2013 Member Share Posted August 9, 2013 If it's PAL, about 15 mins. wow that's some major cuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member reason108 Posted August 9, 2013 Member Share Posted August 9, 2013 If its the Miramax cut then that sucks. But, as well, which movie is it really? The titles were reversed over here. So, Armour of God was listed as Operation Condor and vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member muppetdanny Posted September 21, 2013 Member Share Posted September 21, 2013 I am not sure if it is the Miramax cut, It worth pointing out it seems to be the first one, not the second that is being released. I just did a quick google search and it been release by Mediumrare DVD and they are also releasing as well on DVD/Blu-ray "High Road to China" (Tom Selleck), "Mega Force" and "Robotrix" (source: http://www.nerdly.co.uk/2013/09/09/mediumrare-announce-4-cult-classics-coming-to-uk-dvd-blu-ray/). All of the films are made by GH and now owned by FS, an odd choice of films but it may be it will have the original GH export cut, I think AOG1 was cut in the export version.

Guest Markgway Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Armour of God was cut for the export version by about 8 mins. Operation Condor was uncut... until Miramaxe got their mitts on it. The Medium Rare cover art is taken from the Dimension release, but I don't know if that means anything beyond laziness. It should be easy to tell given that they cut abut 15 mins from the HK original. If the BD is 105m or so it's the full version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member newgen2005 Posted December 21, 2013 Member Share Posted December 21, 2013 I got this from Love Film today. It is the uncut HK version 01:46:38. Chinese 5.1, English 2.0 audio with English subtitles. The Special Features: 2x 3 minute montages (Action & Comedy) of Jackie Chan films, featuring: Police Story 1 & 2, City Hunter, Project A, Armour of God etc. Looks like the same Fortune Star HD master used on the Kam & Ronson/Paramount releases.

So is the dub the original early 90s export version? I've never heard it, myself. As for the screencaps... they look less painfully obvious that they're upscales, as they don't have the edge enhancement halos most of them do. Perhaps someone could make a custom using the true HD footage from the US bluray, mixed with the uncut footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member newgen2005 Posted December 21, 2013 Member Share Posted December 21, 2013 Yes it is the dub that featured on the UK VHS back in the early 90's, and the UK DVD made by the same company, Entertainment In Video. I have only viewed it on my Laptop so I cannot really say how good the HD video is, will watch it on the Plasma tomorrow and let you know. I am pretty sure that the Kam & Robson Blu-ray was not an upscale...will also check that tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member spannick Posted December 22, 2013 Member Share Posted December 22, 2013 French Blu is looking better (35mm Print from France) but it's shorter Theatrical Edit (98 Mins) plus the ugly uncut Fortune Star Version with French Subs.
