Re: The man from hong kong
For whoever takes this one
John Misson just filled in the contact form and they said:
"THE MAN FROM HONG KONG" audio commentary for the region 4 DVD through Madman has Brian Trenchard-Smith listed on the packaging yet omits stars Hugh Keays Byrne and Grant Page. Trenchard-Smith at certain points cuts to phone interviews recorded separately with the two actors.
The theatrical trailer on this disc is listed as the Hong Kong trailer.
The 2 segments of Australian newsreel footage found on the German disc were featured on the original Australian DVD but not on the Madman release.
The Hong Kong release features 2 deleted scenes as extras. According to Trenchard-Smith on the audio commentary the America version called "DRAGON FLIES" was shorter in running time cutting two scenes, one at a petrol station and the other a short scene involving Hugh Keays Byrne interviewing Ros Spiers at her home. Trenchard-Smith says the scenes were cut due to the Australian dialogue being indecipherable to American ears yet both scenes feature Byrne who is English and not Australian. The movie was a Hong Kong /Australian co-production making the Australian release the original version. It is said by some in trivia notes about the movie that co-star Jimmy Wang Yu received a director's credit on the HongKong version. Trenchard-Smith is the only director credited on the Australian DVD.
When playing the audio commentary it begins before the movie. The version Trenchard-Smith is viewing features a restoration credit for the National Film & Sound Archive. This credit does not feature on the disc but may have on the first DVD release.
I work away a lot but I will reply to all PM's within a few days so please have patience!
