Question about Shaolin Soccer 3 disc version

plissken99 · 03-08-2005, 02:28 AM

The 3 disc version of Shaolin Soccer is on it's way from koreandvds.com . It contains 3 different versions, the "theatrical version", the "Original Long version" and the "International version". I'll bet the International version is the U.S version, which was cut to 80 minutes, no thanks. But which is the prefered version?

I hope it's the "theatrical version" as it's the only one with DTS.

The Korean version of SHAOLIN SOCCER is only 87 minutes. The original version shown in Hong Kong is 92 min long and the extended version, including outtake footage, is about 112 min long.

The theatrical cut looks like the best version to watch.
For some reason, the English subtitles on the theatrical cut are different from those on the Long version.
For example, it doesn't provide the literal translation "Brother Hung". Instead, in the theatrical cut, it's just "Hung".
I haven't yet watched all of the theatrical cut, but it looks good.
