Re: Mercs Soldier of forture
Åsmund, you missed two films:
Disc 2 - Side 2 - Film 1
The Last Mercenary (1985)
Disc 2 - Side 2 - Film 2
Soldier of Fortune (1990) --> What a coincidence you missed this one
I would have grabbed this set years ago were it not for the blurry bootlegged VideoAsia video quality.

Re: Mercs Soldier of forture
Forced Japanese and Chinese subtitles on some of the titles? This is a strange choice for a supposed US release. The subtitle button on the remote doesn't work?
Re: Mercs Soldier of forture FAO Asmund
It's burnt-in Japanese subtitles sourced from a VHS --> cinemaraiders.blogspot.com/2011/03/mercs.html

Yes It's burnt-in Japanese subtitles sourced from a VHS or Digi-Beta.
Well the reason the only source i guess they couldnt find
I dont use the remote. I use a computer to check the subtitles and they cant be removed

Re: Mercs Soldier of forture FAO Asmund
OK, so they are not Forced but Burned-in.
Rather than couldn't find a source, it seems they just blatantly stole a Japanese VHS copy. Terrible quality...

Re: Mercs Soldier of forture FAO Asmund
There is no way say they stole it. It could be that they got a Japanese digi-beta source (which is very common in transfer to VHS) and didnt want to spend money make it a into better quality
I know this from for because i know one of the founder of Ec. So bad quality doesnt meant stolen. In spain most Blu-ray is a bootleg but the quality is in many cases perfect.

Re: Mercs Soldier of forture FAO Asmund
The Japanese are quite strict on their masters, and I find it hard to believe that some companies are willing to license their VHS transfers from 30 years ago to some bargain bin DVD company overseas.Åsmund_Utvik wrote:There is no way say they stole it.

"Soldier of Fortune" was released on VHS in Japan by Toshiba. Again, I find it very unlikely that "Video Asia" legally licensed a 30 year old VHS master from them.
"Raiders of the Magic Ivory" was released on VHS in Japan by Pack-In-Video, which released B-movies and also video games for multiple consoles. They pretty much closed shop in 1996 by Victor-JVC who are not in the film business anymore. So I find that hard for "Video Asia" to legally license the video master.
In discussion of whether to add these grey market titles.

Re: Mercs Soldier of forture IN PROGRESS
Just a few things I will correct:
The titles you said have forced subtitles are wrong, but are burned-in.
"Mannigan's Force" has burned in Japanese subtitles, not Chinese.
"Raiders of the Magic Ivory", "War Bus" and "Tiger Joe" are in NTSC and not PAL.
"Tiger Joe" is in 2.35:1 non-anamorphic and not 1.33:1 or 1.66:1.
