A couple of days ago I happened to notice in the paper that SBS were showing a movie late at night called ISLAND WARRIORS. Because there's a crazy Wong Tao fantasy-adventure movie of the same name, I set my DVD recorder to record it just out of curiosity, although I didn't honestly think it would be that movie.
When I finally got round to checking the disc the next evening, here's what I saw:

Holy mackerel! It's the Wong Tao movie. Now, this isn't super-rare or anything, but SBS showed it letterboxed, in Mandarin with English subs, and - judging by the castration scene - totally uncut!
Anyway, I converted it from hard-matted 4:3 to widescreen-friendly 16:9, edited out the commercials, cooked up a little menu for it and authored it as a DVD.
Schweet!
