Shaolin Temple Strikes Back, Wide

[inchilottaP]

Found a thai vcd listing for this that has screenshots that appear to be widescreen!

Anyone ever seen this?



If you compare the top left screenshot to this one theirs definately ALOT more info on the sides and the quality looks great-

Didin't Vengeance put this out in the UK, in widescreen and under the title Shaolin Temple 4??

The horrible screencap I posted is supposed to be from that dvd your referring to. :p

I've got it somewhere, will have to have another look cause I don't remember it looking anywhere near that bad. I might be wrong though.

Inchillotta P is right, the Vengeance version is streched (fake widescreen). The Thai version image is superior.

Does anyone know if this Thai version has any extra footage not included in other releases?

[Brigadier Chow]

Just checked and I noticed a fight scene in it with Chan Shan and Mark Long that was not in any other release. Also the young monk has a fight with 3 men in black that I never saw in the other releases.

You picked this up Brigadier Chow?

I bought the Thai VCD as well. The picture quality is really good, very clean print. Sound is Thai only and without subs.
Could be wrong, but the image appears to be vertically stretched, so I destreched and I got an even wider aspect ratio.

[inchilottaP]

Is it spread across two discs or one?


TIA

[Brigadier Chow]

Yeah, I picked this one up, it is spread on 2 discs as are all VCD. This has always been one of my favorites. I just wish it still had the Mandarin track, they really need to consider using multiple audio. The Thai tracks have no life and they interrupt the music score sometimes, the fight foley is for the most part in tact.
