Time to revive this thread a bit..?

To the best of my knowledge Uproar in Heaven will enter the public domain 1st Jan. 2016 at the latest:

Copyright Law of the People’s Republic of China

Chapter II, Section 3

Art. 21

In respect of a cinematographic work, a work created by a process analogous to cinematography or a photographic work, the term of protection [...] shall be fifty years, expiring on December 31 of the fiftieth year after the first publication of such work[...].

Yes, I've still been working on and off (more off unfortunately) on the v2 restoration. As of now only a dozen or so shots remain, but these are the most time consuming and require MAJOR work (mostly rotoscoping).

The v2 will be the final version, there really isn't much more that can be gained from these sources. For a better version a 16 or 35mm print would need to come along.

With a bit of luck the v2 could be ready for new years..

A fresh pair of eyes (English or Chinese) for the subtitles would still be appreciated.

Also still looking for a way to capture two French PAL SECAM VHS tapes (Note: without this the French dub CANNOT be included).
