Cool Review LD
When you say musical montage do you mean all the outtakes, behind the scenes etc have no audio, just cheesy music like on an old HKL music promo? Mark wont like that..
I'd like to buy DF though

Yeah, that's what I meant. I have heard that there were some outtakes with original sound out there, but I don't believe that, because HK films were shot silently back then and DF is dubbed as well.

Does it spoil your enjoyment of the outtakes?

Not at all. I mean look at all the 80's/90's Jackie Chan HK films... they were all with a music over.
I think he started using the original sound since "Rush Hour".

Ah. I see what you mean. So its' like a long NG reel he would put at the end of his HK films
Are the extras worth it? I think Mark said the extras dont warrant the Platinum tag, though the extra footage not available in ANY print of the film intrigues me.

No, PS3's NG's don't include verbal fluffs, just physical ones with the theme tune playing over the end credits (same as Project A, PS1 and 2, Armour of God, City Hunter etc)

@Gasteropod:
We're talking about the outtakes, not the movie itself.
But you're right, PS3 was the first Jackie movie shot in synch-sound.

No - there's actually a place cheaper than cd-wow but I'll use CD-WOW as I've never used the other shop

Really. You'd never used CD WOW until you gave them ago.
Where? By how much? You never know someone here maybe able to recommend them. I take it you mean DVDPopcorn.com? They're reliable. I've used them a few times.
EDIT: DVDPopcorn sell it for a lovely £10. You'd be mad to buy it from CD WOW for £2.99 more! The price listed on DVD Price Check is wrong.

I got it for £8.99 from CD-Wow (using a £1 voucher)

Of course I'd never used CD-WOW until I tried them. What are you saying?
How much is shipping at DVD Popcorn? If its free I might use them.
Its like 50p cheaper or something at Choices.

Precisely that. You took a risk with CD WOW.

I've witnessed behind the scenes clips and I am 100% sure sound existed with them
.
Someone reported their copy of Tiger Cage 2 to have sound but you could hear people talking e.t.c.
