A shop near me has the Universe dvd of the Jackie Chan movie GORGEOUS.

Is it any good?

Gorgeous (Universe Dvd Mini Review and Specs)

"Summary: rom-com fun with a couple of fights - yay!

well, i thought i'd seen 'gorgeous', but i hadn't, i'd only seen the two fights between jackie and lil bradley allen (5'4"). this is essentially a pretty sweet and enjoyable rom-com, with a couple of pretty decent fight sequences thrown in for good measure.

the film tells the story of 'bu', a young taiwanese girl who finds a message in a bottle. acting on impulse, she travels to hong kong to find 'albert' - the man who left the romantic note in the bottle - only to find that albert is a gay tony leung. but it looks like she may find love when she accidentally gets marooned with 'cn' (jackie chan)...

good stuff all round, although there's 22 minutes missing from the 'international cut', including what was a nice little cameo from stephen chow, so go for the hong kong release." (dandan/HKMDB)

Is it even possible to get the uncut HK release still? If so where from?

Bizarrely, a shop near me has it. I may pick it up tomorrow (knowing my luck it'll be gone

I used to have the Universe dvd of Gorgeous but sold it when I got the Japanese Pony Canyon dvd of it. It is also uncut, plus it's anamorphic widescreen and looks way better than the Universe dvd.

Of course, you'd have to be a Cantonese or Japanese speaker since there's no English subtitles.
