Offtopic, but why couldnt they just add the real finnish flag to indicate finnish subtitles to the cover? It would have only taken a quick glance to wiki, and few minutes in paint to make it right  Whats Upc is it |

you're talking about the flag on the back cover of this dvd?
that the blue is of color? Yea and the proportions are wrong, but on smaller flags the colour is the one that bothered me. Its like leaving an easily avoidable "typo" to a product people pay money for ...and i just know for the next release they'll copy the flags from the older release, thus slapping the "typo" in all of their releases. | | | | Last edited: by whispering |

This would be classified as a 'foreign film' as it was made in Hong Kong and is being sold in a different region. As such, The Original Title field will contain the original title for the main feature in the country of origin. That title, per the DVD case, is 'Si Wang You Ju / Game of Death'.
JMHO
That would not be possible (from the rules)
Title
- Use the title from the front cover.
Original Title
- Use the title from the copyright notice if available, otherwise from the film's credits. I guess it depends on how you read the rules. For foreign films, the rules say to use the original title in the country of origin. To me, that is a clarification to the rule, similar to the exceptions for non-standard credits. Quote:

Look at the cover on the backside down in the left corner
wich is the copyright notice:
Original Title: Si Wang You Ju / Game of Death I already said that that is where the original title should come from.  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | I do read you correctly? you would enter in the Original Title Field:
Si Wang You Ju / Game of Death
So DVD Profiler would show the title as follows: Game of Death (Si Wang You Ju / Game of Death)
a bit of overkill not? | | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted. Please include the sources for your changes in the contribution notes, especially for cast and crew additions. |

a bit of overkill not? Yes it is a bit of overkill, but I don't see a way...in the rules...of leaving out the second 'Game of Death'. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Game of Death is the English Title Again, I don't disagree with you but, common sense isn't common. Everybody has a different view on it. I try to take the most neutral view using the rules as a guide. If Gerri decides it is o.k. to leave out the 'English Title', I will not argue the point. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

However in this case, this is no copyright notice - because of the complete lack of a copyright symbol, it's an information pane only. |
