Member Takuma Posted 22 hours ago Member Share Posted 22 hours ago (edited) Awesome news. Looks like Arrow is going all the way. The Shout release only had the English language prints (and from what I hear, dubtitles, though I haven't confirmed this myself. EDIT: this info seems incorrect. Just tested the opening scene and the subs appear legi) whereas Arrow seems to have both the Japanese and US versions. And new scans from the original camera negative? That's surprising. Seems like they have turned down Toei's existing 2K masters and done their own for the first two films. Shame about the 3rd film not being a new scan. Speaking of the 3rd film, that's a totally underrated entry full of style and witty dialogue. And Reiko and Etsuko!

I own the Shout! set and it was a hodge podge for the 2 sequels. The Japanese version I think was missing a lot of the Japanese version footage for the final movie of the trilogy and the upscale footage wasn't so great. The Shout! set is very much not English only prints as the first two are arranged and edited differently than their Japanese counterparts. Shout! had a disclaimer at the start of each movie stating it was as such. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed that they somehow managed to find the original, uncut English dubbed audio- not the patch-work English dub that was on the US laser disc/VHS release and all subsequent bootlegs that was missing and bungled some of the movie's best lines. The only official release that had the complete English dub track was the Shout Factory release thanks to our very own (rarely seen, but still loved) @wigsplitta. Nice artwork on this set by Tony Stella, too! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ironfistedmonk Posted 1 hour ago Member Share Posted 1 hour ago I'm ashamed to say I've never seen the Street Fighter movies, nor the Executioner films, are these must see movies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
