Has anybody seen Tsui Hark`s Vampire Hunters yet? I`m thinking on buying it but am wondering if it`s anygood.

Does anybody know if there is any online reviews of it yet?

Cheers

Its not bad (not good by any means, but not bad) I think its supposed to be one these films that doesnt take itself too seriously (at least i hope it is!) not bad action, ****** story (but its about vampires/hunters you cant really expect oscar winning stuff!)


I'm quite sure you'll get a better review of it by someone on here, but theres my opinion of it, try to rent it first.

Dont bother with the R1 (R2+R4 will be the same i'm guessing) as its cut - 15mins? have been cut and the ending has been changed quite a bit.

You can find a review of the Region 2 disc here (http://www.dvddebate.com/article.php?sid=3405).
The UK version was not cut by the BBFC, so must have been submitted by TriStar already cut. It looks to be the same length (after PAL-NTSC) as the US release.

There's an uncut Singaporean DVD/VCD release - IIRC it was more like 20/30 mins that's been cut.

The VCD is pretty ***** though - changing aspect ratio from LB to FS and back again, plus an awful green tinge that makes it hard to see what's going on. Not seen the DVD though.

:D

just had a rent of the R2, it was a bit disjointed in some places but i guess that could be due to the cuts hinted at by WSW a couple of posts ago,

by no means a film to splash cash on but it was an enjoyable no-brainer in various scenes,

his holiness Lam Suet was rocking the skinhead well and look like a young Jet Li :D

what action/fights/swordplay there was was quite impressive and left me feeling that this film could have been so much more,

its a bit of a cheek to promote it as Tsui Harks Vampire Hunters when he wasnt the one who directed it

Just a quick heads up. Vampire Hunters is on ITV4 tonight (22/1) at 11.40pm. Not sure of presentation though (sub/dub).

It is the third time it has been on ITV4. It has subtitles.

Saw some of this last night; seemed cool to me, action packed and sufficiently gory - its like a bloodier Zu Warriors but with less plot [!] :eek:
