"Jumborg Ace & Giant" French DVD

[StevenScrivello]

The Tsuburaya/Chaiyo co-production Jumborg Ace & Giant will apparently arrive on DVD in France on the 16th of this month, from Bach Films. The DVD will have French, Italian, and English audio tracks, and English subtitles. It will also apparently feature footage cut from the Thai VCD. More details .

Wow , thanks for the info, I'll buy it for sure.

And I'm still hoping VBG will release the series in Malaysia on DVD someday...

Any idea if this set will be available through Amazon France, or only through the distributor's website? Would love to check it out!

It now has a listing on Amazon France, but no order options yet.

Finally the DVD was released yesterday.

According to the back cover (you can see it here ), it does NOT include subtitles in any language, and the english audio is described as "humoristic version"

Just so everyone knows, this is not the film "Jumborg Ace and Giant" but a Taiwanese recut called "Mars Men" (which you can see below the French title on the poster at the top) with all the actors replaced, like Varan. The original Thai cut is supposedly lost. This English dub they're including is another comedy dub by professional fan Damon Foster.

But I wonder why it's a comedy dub... is this taiwanese recut a comedy?
