Original, fully-licensed VCD release of the 1978 Shaw Brothers fantasy / martial arts film, HEAVEN AND HELL, which starred David Chiang, Alexander Fu Sheng and Maggie Lee. The film was directed by Chang Cheh. This VCD is from the official Celestial / Hong Kong release of the film ... produced by IVL / Intercontinental Video Limited. VCDs are Video Compact Disc -- an alternate video format to DVD -- which is widely used in a number of Asian countries. The discs used are produced on CDs, rather than DVDs, so far less information can be held on a single disc. This results in two main differences between VCDs and DVDs. First, VCDs are usually issued in two discs per film, rather than a single disc for a DVD. Second, since CDs hold far less info than DVDs, the video quality for VCDs is noticeably lower than for DVDs. The typical VCD has video quality somewhat better than a factory issued VHS tapes, but well below the clarity in DVDs. VCDs are usually region-free, and they can be played on most standard DVD players -- but you will have to check the compatibility for your player. They are usually not compatible to bluray or 4K players. This is the official licensed release of the film -- it is NOT a bootleg or unlicensed copy. This item comes complete with Jewel case, all box art, plus original cardboard slip case. The audio is in Chinese, with Chinese and English subtitles. The VCD comes from a smoke-free, climate controlled home. Overall Condition: NEW/SEALED/UNUSED.... This VCD has never been opened and it is still in its original, unused, factory-sealed condition.
