valiant1962 ◊ 2008-07-10 04:52	Pics taken from 3 minute clip at Australian Screen website http://australianscreen.com.au/titles/man-from-hong-kong/clip3/ Chase is rated as one of the best ever filmed in Australia. Would love to get a DVD of this and complete the film captures.
ProwlerX ◊ 2008-07-10 06:54	Sadly, it can't be seen outside Australia. But the pics look promising. -- Last edit: 2008-07-10 06:54:35
Raul1983 ◊ 2008-07-10 10:25	I've seen trailer of this movie in Youtube. It looks absolutely amazing.

valiant1962 ◊ 2008-07-23 00:58	Added more pics from the other clips at Australian Screen
stronghold ◊ 2008-07-23 07:21	Raul1983 wrote Then what are you waiting for ? I still have thousand's of films and tv series episodes to add to the site ..when I have time.! Most of the horror/sci-fi films 'Atom' has added recently, I've had in my collection for many years (also all the 'Mad Mission' films), I'm still buying movies & tv series every week (also recording from tv, so my collection and things to do for the Imcdb is never ending...)
Roadrunner ◊ 2008-07-24 07:33	A quick search on ebay shows it's available outside Australia, and available to buyers in the UK, America.

valiant1962 ◊ 2008-07-24 23:08	I just checked two local online DVD stores and it's it being released on DVD in Aust in September. Woohoo!!
marioman3138 ◊ 2008-07-26 05:08	Yeah!!! That's Awsome news!
valiant1962 ◊ 2008-07-27 02:54	marioman3138 wrote Yeah!!! That's Awsome news! Sanity and EzyDVD both list September release with pre orders available. One was $19.90 the other was $19.83
marioman3138 ◊ 2008-07-27 03:15	Well will have to pre order then!
valiant1962 ◊ 2008-08-06 14:20	I have it coming so will start on captures as soon as it arrives
valiant1962 ◊ 2009-01-03 00:06	Now have it on DVD. Watched it last night. Plenty of cars to add. Short chase between Toyota Crown and a helicopter, and the big chase scene involving the Commer, Charger, Falcon, Torana, and Kawasaki bike, with the Cortina and Holden EJ forced off the road along the way, and a Holden EH ute ending up in the Hawkesbury River. -- Last edit: 2009-01-27 00:10:49
valiant1962 ◊ 2009-01-27 02:20	Speedboat powered by 454 Chev use to tow a hang glider used by Jimmy Wang-Yu, and the helicopter used in the chase with the Crown
valiant1962 ◊ 2009-01-28 03:23	Done
Raul1983 ◊ 2009-01-28 16:17	Excellent! Good work valiant1962.
garco ◊ 2009-01-28 19:46	Yes nice pictures. But unfortinately in wrong aspect ratio. Maybe it's better to correct this, learn from it, before uploading more? I took me quite a while to understand how it worked, but if you know it once, it's very easy
carchasesfanatic ◊ 2009-01-28 19:49	Is the ratio really wrong for this one? how is it? flat? i'm asking because as usualy i never realize when the ratio is wrong (unless it is too noticeable )
garco ◊ 2009-01-28 19:56	Yes I think so, examples: /vehicle_211016-Ford-Falcon-XB-1973.html /vehicle_183638-Holden-Torana-LC-1969.html -- Last edit: 2009-01-28 19:57:10
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2009-01-28 19:58	The IMDB lists the aspect ratio as 2.35 : 1. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0073343/technical
valiant1962 ◊ 2009-01-28 21:20	DVD listed it as 16:9
valiant1962 ◊ 2009-01-28 23:16	I have looked at the pics again and they look OK to me. I think some of the scenes may have beeen shot with a fish eye lens, which distorts the image, such as this one /vehicle_184967-Ford-Falcon-XB-1973.html and this one /vehicle_211016-Ford-Falcon-XB-1973.html -- Last edit: 2009-01-28 23:18:56
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2009-01-28 23:59	valiant1962 wrote DVD listed it as 16:9 Then it's 2.35:1 letterboxed inside a 16/9 frame. 4/3 (normal television) and 16/9 (widescreen) are the only aspect ratios possible on a DVD. -- Last edit: 2009-01-29 00:00:15

antp ◊ 2009-01-29 18:01	Must be some optical effect, as most of the pictures seem right to me.
