What region is Hong Kong? (UK cut version requires Region B AND English language player-menu set.)

Can you tell if the audio problem is the same as on the existing entries?

Thanks

Hong Kong is region A. On my region A player, it defaults to the uncut version.

As for the sound issue, I cant say becuz Im not sure exactly what to look for. All I know is the cover art and disc specs (Audio/Subs) are identical to the UK/Holland versions so I assume its the same disc with the same flub.

I'm listening to the beginning attack and it seems the choral is intact.

[Nigel_Badnell]

Yes, a Region A player only gives the uncut version. From your specs, In all respects it is the same as the UK/Dutch releases so
I don't see why the audio should be different...

"By the way, just a quick Universal/Conan BD update. The studio is currently investigating the reported audio errors on the new Blu-ray and will offer additional information as they have it. In the meantime, you can e-mail them at USHE.ConsumerRelations@bydeluxe.com if you have any specific concerns. And of course, we'll post a full update as soon as the studio determines the nature of the issue and what their corrective steps will be."

Have you got this one Nigel? I would attempt it but the cuts have been confused.

[Nigel_Badnell]

I'm puzzled why the HK release should have intact audio when in all other respects it is
identical to the UK/Dutch release...

[Anthony_DiPaola]

It is a real mind bender. But I think it's because of different companies, meaning, they'll work with whatever materials they have. Perfect Examples are City Of The Living Dead Blu-Rays (US and UK), and various Dimension releases in the US and Canada (Examples: Halloween H20: 20 Years Later and From Dusk 'Til Dawn). Different countries, different product.

[estebon_spielbergo]

I can confirm that the Fox HK release is practically identical to the Dutch/UK releases.

source* I borrowed the UK disc from a friend.

I don't think that there is anything more to be added to the entry at the moment?
