R1 "House of Flying Daggers" w/ no English dub?
Have I read this right that the upcoming R1 "House of Flying Daggers" won't have an English 5.1 track? just English subtitles?

well amazon doesn't have any sub/dub details, but DDD confirms what you're stating... Best Buy however lists an english audio track. interesting!
Is missing an english dub a make or break, or a consideration for you? I wouldn't even care, as long as there's a 5.1 chinese audio track.

I'm with you Lorenzol, I'd prefer the disc W/out a crappy english language dub.
I have both of the R3 (Edko/Starmax) 2 disc SE/LE and am looking forward to seeing what the R1 is going to bring to the table.

I guess it is the Full Screen English dubbed for you!

Just yanking your chain here a little. But it does seem a tad inconsistent for one who is so insistent on watching movies in their OAR to also want their movies dubbed into English. Have you even given subtitles a chance? You are really missing out by not listening to these foreign movies in the language in which they were originally presented.
By the way you can presently get the Starmax 2 disc edition of the movie right now without having to wait for the region 1 release. Just got mine yesterday and had a great time watching it.

I'd be glad if they didn't have an English audio track. Just a waste of space anyway as far as I'm concerned. Chinese movies in particular usually have bad dubs so I think this news is great.

I'm just curious why everyone automatically assumed that Mike was upset that there might not be an english dub on this disc. As far as I can tell, his post was neutral, and if I had to guess, I'd assume he would never watch a foreign movie with a dub and instead was just interested in the factors leading up to that kind of a decision for the studio and what kind of a response that will get from the general public.

Quite frankly you might be my favorite new member here.
No dubs??....YES, the horror! One has to read.
I sure hope this is a new trend- no dubs, more space for extras, quality transfer, etc.
