Fist of Legend: Long Shong Media Corp?

[BlurayStation3]

I got this Fist of Legend dvd that's from "Long Shong Media Corporation". Anyone heard of them before? I suspect a bootleg.

I found their website: http://www.longshong.com/en/index.htm

What's interesting about this dvd is that it has both the 103 mins. international cut version and the 106 mins. uncut version on the same disc. The cut version has English 5.1/Cantonese 2.0/Mandarin 2.0 and English/Spanish/off subtitles. The uncut version is only in Mandarin 2.0 with burned in Chinese/English subtitles (box incorrectly states English/Japanese audio).

A bootleg from PanMedia - aka Bonzai, Red Sun.

It looks like the "uncut version" is the Taiwanese version, whilst the "cut version" maybe the Dimension version from HKVideo's disc (the only anamorphic version before DD's)?

Ok, I just checked out the trailer on the disc. The narrator actually mentions "Fist of Legend 2-disc Ultimate Edition. Look for it on dvd. Exclusively from Dragon Dynasty." Yeah, it's a bootleg.

I haven't seen my DD version yet, but I think that's the cut version on this disc since they both have Mandarin 2.0 and Spanish subtitles. I don't think the HK Video version has Mandarin or Spanish.

EDIT: I rechecked the English dub on the cut version. It's Dolby 5.1, just like the DD version. They used the DD version for the cut version, and the Taiwan version for the uncut version. They probably compressed the DD version because it doesn't look that good.

I did think about Dragon Dynasty, but OK.

BTW, that website has no connection to this DVD, despite the same.

Long Shong is a genuine company based out of Taiwan and that logo on the back of the sleeve is genuine. If Pan Media and co have stolen it to sell boots they could be in big trouble.

Does the Ritek dvd have the part at the end where the crew waves at the camera?

Only think that was in the Hong Kong version.

That looks like a Stiller boot, if I ever saw one!

The "uncut" version on this disc actually has that.
