Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon DVD OUT NOW!

Great news - Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was released on DVD in the Far East on 12th January! It is not due for release in the UK or US until Christmas 2001 at the earliest as it is likely to get a Cinema re-release if it does well at the Oscars (as expected). The DVD is Region 3 however but contains the original version in Mandarin with English subtitles or a dubbed English version. There are loads of extras and this film gets top marks in all of the reviews - it has quite possibly the greatest fight scenes ever! http://www.movietyme.com are doing it for the very good price of £19.99 delivered - I have my copy on order and cannot wait for it!

I got it a bit cheaper than that from DDDHouse in Hong Kong who have a good reputation.

The price was HK$210 which works out at about £18 - today's rate £1 = HK$11.47.

An incredible film, and an essential disc. Fall-marks to movietyme for getting this disc out so sharply. I received mine on the Tuesday after release...great stuff

Unfortunately Movietyme have given me awful service - when I ordered it their website said it was in stock... 2 weeks later I wondered where it was and went back to their site which now says they are waiting for new stocks. I have sent them about 5 emails, all unanswered and on their site it says they will not answer any emails about Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon as they have taken so many orders and are awaiting stock. This is a ridiculous blanket approach and I feel ripped off - I would not have ordered it if I had known it was not actually in stock. They have taken payment but I have no way of knowing whether it is missing in the post or not as they ignore my emails - presumably as soon as they read the words Crouching Tiger... they hit the delete button. I am gutted as I really want this film - suffuce to say I will NEVER use Movietyme again.

give francis a shout at http://www.hkdvdmart.com, it's not the smartest site and you've to fax your order but the level of service from that man is most excellent.

Hi, i'd like to buy this title but am a little green with R3 purchases as the bulk of my dvd viewing for the last 3 years has been R1 and R2.
I've tried some of the sites about and i cant seem to find the R3 version at movietyme.com (only the R1, but i don't want to wait that long) and on the dddhouse.com address the film is not in english dub or subtitles.

Can anyone give me the link for crouching tiger hidden dragon (R3) with english language dub and subtitles.

Thanks

unfortunately, i believe that columbia removed the english subtitles from the r3 version a couple of weeks ago and most of the remaining copies with them have probably been sold out by now (if you find anywhere with them still in stock please post here! - i took so long trying to decide whether or not to buy it r3 that i missed out as well )

it looks like the only way to get a copy with english subs now is to get one of the (many) pirate r0 copies floating around - but seeing as people are trying to sell them for 20 quid + (! plus the illegitimacy of such copies) means that it's probably not worth the bother

from what i've heard, the uk release is projected to probably be around july/august - and it may well be a simultaneous uk/us release (for the oscars reason stated above) - but as there has been no official announcement, this is purely speculation
