Looking for UNCUT shaws!!!

[achiever]

What's the deal with celestial's shaw prints? I love the remastering & purchase quite a few... but the fact that they seem to be releasing unnecessarily cut versions aggravates me! Chinatown Kid was ridiculous! I spent $15 & they cut out nearly 30 minutes!

I'm NO fan of boots, but I've had to turn to PanMedia/ Red Sun for uncut versions of movies I already bought from celestial. Avenging Eagle from Celestial is missing about a minute of the FINAL FIGHT SCENE! So... I had to support Red sun's bootleggers by getting their version too (uncut)- fortunately I got a copy rather than paying for it!

Same goes with Chinatown Kid.

I'm REALLY worried about Chinese Super Ninjas, which I'm sure will be cut to shreds (lotsa blood & guts will be missing), and my only uncut source will be my old crappy full-screen boot. I've heard the same about Human Lanterns and Delightful Forest, which I also bought from celestial! Now it seems that they are interested in cutting out some of the best/ bloodiest scenes in these classics!

Do you guys think celestial is planning to release "uncut" versions later so they can "double-dip" from their loyal purchasers (such as myself). I'd probably be forced to get those too!

Anyway, does anyone know anything about where to get uncut versions of "Human Lanterns"- I HEARD that celestial has a re-mastered uncut version (is this true) & "Delightful Forest"?

I remember reading somewhere that u are not allowed to trade copies of Celestials. Orginal dvds are fine. I am pretty sure that is the way it goes.

Achiever, there is (was?) an uncut version of Human Lanterns,
Legit release out there.Check some online retailers' search engines possibly.

I am about to watch Delightful Forest so i hope it is uncut,but it sounds very good regardless.

The UK DVD of Human Lanterns has footage not in the IVL but at the same time is missing footage present in the IVL

Anyone care to give a lowdown on the differences in Lanterns ? Very interesting.....Where is the uncut version to be found ?

I was told the region 2 was uncut (except for a 30 second speaking scene?) & has all the gore that's missing in the other versions (so I got it). I'll let you know when I watch it).

That's not all. It's missing that speaking scene and part of the fire sequence at the end of the film. There's not a complete uncut version out there unless Image comes through.
