Coward Bastard (DVD – IVL)

By Mark Pollard | Published August 3, 2008

This Hong Kong DVD release of COWARD BASTARD is standard issue for IVL’s latter Shaw Brothers issues. A restored print looks very good. Original Mandarin and Cantonese audio tracks have been preserved in their original mono format. Removable English subtitles are adequate. They contain a few unusual English translations such as using the word “licentious.”
