Hello folks. I am "The Film Whisperer". I'm sure all of you classic Hong Kong film fans (and Michael Jackson fans) have heard of me.
I am trying to find a decent source for the export dub (different than the American dub from Miramax, which was Saint Harvey Weinstein's company) of the 1995 Jet Li film My Father is a Hero (给爸爸的信), aka 'The Enforcer', aka 'Letters to my Father'.
I bought the Eureka blu-ray version, which came as part of a 3-movie Jet Li boxset. Unfortunately, the export dub was PAL-pitched! Then I bought the Vinegar Syndrome blu-ray. That export dub was also PAL-pitched.
Also, the export dub on both blu-ray releases are pretty bad!
My intention is to find a decent source of the export dub, and sync it to the Eureka blu-ray.
And before you mention it, I'm already aware of
I did some research, and according to Rewind, there are two Austrian DVDs out there that have the movie uncut and with the export dub. Both use the title "Jet Li is The Hero"
According to Rewind, any DVD from Germany has a shortened version of the film (not sure if it's because they used the US version or if they had their own separate version of the film). But the Austrian DVDs are uncut.
So, with that said, I guess you all know what I'm going to ask!
If you're not savvy enough with ripping and copying from discs, we can come up with an arrangement where I pay you to ship it to me, then I rip it, then ship it back to you, and I will compensate you 2x the shipping price of sending it to me. Hopefully you know how to use CashApp, Venmo, or PayPal.
Please let me know if any of you can help!
P.S.: No, I will not accept a rip of the audio track only! I want the visual source too!
P.S. 2: I must have the audio track in its purest form as it is on the DVD itself. Do not convert into an AAC or WAV or any other format please.

- The Indonesian VCD which is heavily cut but has the export dub. I have this, and VCDs are not exactly great quality in terms of audio and video.
- A German blu-ray (under the title "Jet Li is the Hero"). It's my understanding this has the shortened German version.
- A 4K German blu-ray. No English dub included.

- One is from "Great Movies". Could this Amazon link be it?
- The other is from "M.I.B.". Could this Amazon link be it? (this one seems to only have "My Father is a Hero" on the box).
- Does anyone know anything about this DVD too?

So, with that said, I guess you all know what I'm going to ask!
- Do any of you have either of these DVDs from Austria?
- If yes, do you know how to rip it into a lossless MKV and share it with me (with the export dub)? Or can you at least share all the VOBs with me?
