I guess that means that there is language in Cantonese and Japanese, and Japanese subtitles.
No English subtitles, so not worth buying.
The South Korean release looks more promising, and probably a lot cheaper.

Yeah, but it comes with a T-shirt.
The Korean DVD, from what I've read, is not a signifacant step up from the Hong Kong DVD.

Yes, the Hong Kong Universe Laser & Video disc is not great - an average anamorphic widescreen picture, brilliant sound and a few extras.
But for about £8 it's great value for one of the best Hong Kong films I've ever seen.
This was also my first Stephen Chow film I'd seen, and I'm now a Chow fan.

As a HK disc (which aren't that great generally, but bloody cheap) it's very good indeed.
Happy?

Soccer ball icon
According to a review elsewhere, there's no messing with the yellow and white icons to see the extended scenes. You opt for the standard version or the extended version and voila, that's it. If I didn't have the original version, I'd go for the Korean release.

No ... the reports on the Korean release is that it is the exact opposite of the HK release in regards to the extended scenes and mini making offs.
Whereas the HK DVD you can't get the icon to turn off ... the Korean DVD icon doesn't even show up but if you press the enter button at the correct time the scenes will appear!

Jay G - no the cropping off the top as I have seen comparisons between the DVD and VCD versions. If watch shaolin soccer on DVD again keep an eye out for the tops of everyones head throughout the movie ... it is annoyingly lopped off on many occasions.

I just did a comparison of one scene, and the DVD image is cropped when compared with the VCD. Not just on the top either, but on all sides.
However, I never noticed any distracting cropping when watching the film, so perhaps ignorance is best when watching the DVD.
