The only question is how low the price will need to drop to tempt anyone to buy it?

£6.99 I reckon.

Funny film not doubt. Strange its limited to 2000 copies. This one might take some time to sell out.

 

[Skog]

I haven't even bothered to upgrade my DVD to BD yet. It was funny but it's not something I need to see in HD let alone own the steelbook.

Yet another "Exclusive art" that's pretty flippin' far from "exclusive".... :/

 

[digitalbabe]

Punker, fyi-'WEA' here refers to art being used for a Steelbook for a specific retailer-WEA has nothing to do with art used for amarays or other editions, previously.

this movie is a huge disgrace
and the italian/napolitean crappy dubbed version i saw made it look completely embarassing

Whoa... hold on there just one minute.

World Exclusive Art clearly refers to artwork never having been used on any release anywhere before, not just a Steelbook release in the UK (or any specific country) by a specific retailer. You don't need to be a Steelbook Collector to understand that one!

The vast majority of Steelbook artwork has been used somewhere else before so it would make the term almost redundant e.g. 'I have a mouse mat with this artwork so it is not WEA'.

Remember buying this film after reading a good review, apart from one bit which made my kids laugh, the room was silent and not with awe

 

[CaptainCoffee]

I think the term gets bandied about far too often these days. I've got the standard amaray of this film at home and the art is exactly the same!! Thats not exclusive in any sense of the word. The term "Worldwide Exclusive Art" has long been made redundant, IMO. There are very few true exclusive artwork steelbooks anywhere anymore.

 

[BlueApple]

Shaolin Soccer is an OK film in my opinion, but Stephen Chow older works are the one I would prefer as they were just hilarious.

Makes me wonder if any other region will be getting this as a shared print as it only 2000, if so hopefully KimchiDVD will get a small amount and give it a lovely slip.

 

[cooey]

Love this film but I'll be sticking with my Korean UE DVD of it as it has all the extras as well as 3 different cuts of the movie

 

[Noodles]

Never even heard of this one. I see a few people comparing it to Kung Fu Hustle (which I loved!), so I may just have to blind-buy it.

 

[BookofSteel]

if you like kung fu hustle you will love shaolin soccer
great movie
very funny

Exactly! Glad someone gets where i'm coming from WEA is, after all, referring to the art itself, if it said "exclusive steelbook" then yeah, but it's not - it's referring to the "ART".

Point in case, Zavvi's Jackie Brown or Byzantium, can't remember seeing that art used anywhere else.

I saw Kung Fu Hustle and liked it, never saw this hope it's good not know if I buy this ....

 

[lolwut]

A lot of haters for this film. I think it's absolutely hilarious and far more enjoyable than Kung Fu Hustle.

 

[navydavey]

Not seen this movie or Kung Fu Hustle - but always meant to get round to it. May pick this one up if its 14.99.

 

[Starling]

I just want to get something of my chest... It's Football, not bloody Soccer! Jeez!

Kung Fu Football then, or Kung Fu-tball

But yea it is annoying when some countries call it Soccer
