By the way, could you please PM me a download link (or a zip file) to your Chinese DVD of the U.S. version? The more sources, the better! :-D (Also, does your DVD have any other languages, perhaps a Chinese dub as well?)

 

Sadly, I don't have that Chinese DVD anymore because it was a library interloan DVD, plus I don't remember which one I got it from (its been three years since I've attempted a project like this). Odd they would've had such a release; the library prolly didn't know what DVD they were ordering because of the Smurfs movie mad rush when those CGI messes were out.

I'm pretty certain that DVD was a bootleg, because I seem to remember English audio only (only subs for 10 other Asian languages I don't fraken know), LOLing over the engrishy synopsis, and being shocked by the horrid encoding quality. Trust me, i wouldn't use that as it was just as worse as the U.S Shout! Factory port of the U.K release.

Would any Japanese DVD or Laserdisc be worth looking into? These may be the U.S versions, but I can't be certain. I also remember viewing the rare Televista DVD at one point and that seemed similar (read: VHS quality, severe macroblocking) to the Chinese bootleg DVD I worked with.
