That sucks if it's true. I hope they didn't ship the wrong DVD to me. I'll have to send them an email asking about it.

Has anyone received anything yet? Mine had said it shipped on the 12th but I still haven't received anything. I guess this is a good thing if BLADE wasn't released but bad seeing as they already charged my credit card.

My credit card hasn't been charged yet but Proxis said they haven't shipped out the disc yet. When I asked them whether the rumor of the delay is true they only said we're going to send it asap. That's not very comforting

We're in trouble here with proxis... They don't have Beast Cops listed on their site and Blade HKL has the exact same bar code as Beast Cops - their FAQ section says this:
That compounded with the fact that Proxis maintains a policy of making the buyer pay for additional shipping costs doesn't make this purchase such a bargain after all. So how much does it cost to send it back - anyone done so yet?
ALso - can I add that I got a shipping confirmation on the 12th of last month and I'm just getting the bastard today?
If you have received another article than the one you had ordered, you can compare the code of the article that you have received with the code of the article which is mentioned on our site or on your bill. If both codes are identical, you have correctly received the article that you have ordered.
It is however possible that the information posted on our site isnot entirely correct. If both codes are different, you have probably received an incorrect order. We then ask you to re-order the item you want, and return the non-desired article as mentioned in the General Terms and Conditions.

Mine shipped on the 17th, and still nothing. I have emailed them 3 times, and can't get a response. What email are you using? I used ([email protected]), but they will not answer.
I don't mind getting Beast Cops, since I needed it anyways, but I also got Vidocq, thinking it was the 2 disc version (Same cover, same company). Come to find out it's a single disc with no English subs. Their descriptions on their site SUCK!!!

UPDATE: got mine finally today 5/11/2002 a day short of a month. Needless to say I got Beast Cops also.

Alright, I received my package, and yes it is "Beast Cops". I planned on keeping it, since I need it anyways, but is it the same as the UK release?
On this site it says it has Dutch subs (which is the one I got):
http://www.hongkonglegends.nl/pages/...beastcops.html
And on the UK site it doesn't:
http://www.hongkonglegends.co.uk/index.html
Neither says original language. Is this a dub only release? What is the difference between the 2?
Thanks in advance.

Anybody know the answer to the above question? Are there really 2 HKL DVDs of Beast Cops??? Does either give you the option of original language with English subtitles?

Corndude:
I doubt if anyone here has any Dutch HKLs. But all I've seen is no English subs on their previous releases; just Dutch.
But then again UK HKLs have dutch subs.
If it doesn't say English (or whatever it is in Dutch) on the back cover then I would return it or find a friend from Holland.

axolotls, Thanks. I realize that it only has Dutch Subs, but on proxis website, it says original language: English.
On UK's HKL site, it just says Dolby Digital 5.1 Audio, and lists no subs.
So, I am wondering, are both releases English dub only? Does anyone have Beast Cops HKL, that can confirm this?
The reason I ask, is because other titles like 2000 A.D. state:
"Dual language format (English Dubbed and Cantonese Language with re-mastered English subtitles)"
And Beast Cops doesn't. I just find it really odd that they wouldn't have the original language for this title, and if so, WHY?
By the way, I did return the Dutch version. Just want to know, before I buy the UK HKL one.
Thanks

The UK Version is Cantonese 5.1 with English Subs.
So, I would guess the Dutch is Cantonese 5.1 with Dutch Subs.
I notice the UK doesn't have dutch subtitles on it like other UK HKL's.
If HKL ever released an English only dub DVD then I think we would have heard a lot of shi* hitting the fan. This is a 12/2001 release.

Here's a contradiction for Chris (based on a response you got on BNB):
