I am actually glad about this news because it means less people will hopefully take notice of it. Because if they do, it will further support the belief that HK films are cheesy dubbed non-sensical movies.
This is my main question-- Why are HK film companies allowing Miramax to buy their films when they know what the company is doing to them? It seems like common sense. Of course Shaolin Soccer is going to be butchered beyond belief. The film will never work dubbed, it just can't. It will be an unwatchable disaster.
Why not sell the films to Columbia/Tristar who have proven that they care about the original intent of the films rather than simply milking them for money.
It would be like HK buying the Godfather and editing and redubbing it in Chinese-- now wouldn't the public be more than a little pissed off about that? So why not the same respect for Chinese films...
