How is the megastar? Do the subs suck? Is the megastar OOP? I have access to a copy and was considering buying it. Will Disney release a censored version?

A real quick survey tells me that DDDhouse doesn't have it. HKFlix says its oop and illegal to ship in the US for Mickey Mouse licensing reasons. DVDshelf lists it as in stock, but as you know that doesn't necessarily guarantee availability.
If you can find one, get it.

I owned the MegaStar last year. I was pleased with it (as with most MegaStars (non-anamorphic). If you can find it... grab it (especially if you are stuck on Region 1/0).
The official Deltamac VCD is $2.20 (another option... albeit unpleasant)

There used to be site called Bullet in the Web by mc4 that outlined all the various versions of BITH. It was last hosted on the hkmdb but it seems it's no longer there.
There's the standard "car chase ending" and the Mei Ah vcd "boardroom ending" and some other permutations I think.
Anyway, read the reviews at asiandvdguide.com to get a gist of it.

HKL does indeed have the British R2 rights. (One more reason to buy a multi-region player!)
The Megastar version is decent if you can find it.
Disney will probably do the following to sanitize the movie:
1. All Asian cultural references will be cut.
2. Kung Fu Fighting will play over the closing credits.
3. White actors will dub the movie into English (badly) with exagerated Charlie Chan style accents.
4. Steven Spielberg will re-edit the movie so that they will play Russian roulette with walkie-talkies.
