Watch the Trailer below:
Not the full version, even if image quality would be partially “really not good”?
Even with the “Extended and Uncensored Footage”?
If not, I’m sure Arrow is already putting in the extra work. lol
Zero interest if I can’t watch the full movie including “Extended and Uncensored Footage”. lol
Are these Shout releases still getting new subtitles done by fanboys who dont understand a word of Cantonese but feel confident enough (totally misplaced) to translate a whole movie? How does this even work? Google Translate and CHATGPT?

At the end of the day its just movies and for those of us who understand Cantonese it doesn’t really matter but having these guys do the translations is like your best mate claiming to be a ramen master cos he enjoys eating at Wagamama.
