Hi all, please come with your veiw on this issue.

I have a friendly discution with another user about this dvd release.






In the opening credits the title is "Game of Death"

What is the
- Title:
- Original title:

Thanks.

as northbloke suggests
Title: Game of Death
Edition Field: Den Uklippede Originalversion: Collector's Edition
Original title: see below what ruben has to say

All the info given I would go for:

Title: Game of Death
Original Title: Si Wang You Ju / Game of Death
Edition Field: Den Uklippede Originalversion: Collector's Edition

The rules:
"Original Title
The Original Title field serves two general purposes, but in both cases allows for the tracking of the original feature title. Use the title from the copyright notice if available, otherwise from the film's credits."

What is the title of the movie in the movie itself?

Hey ruben.
Du prøver at påvirke resutatet. Ikke fair.
Træk venligst din kommentar tilbage.

Look at the cover on the bagside down in the left corner
Original Title Si Wang You Ju / Game of Death
Title: Game of Death
Original Title: Si Wang You Ju
Edition Field: Den Uklippede Originalversion: Collector's Edition

I would go with this.  Printed on the DVD cover is the phrase, "Original Title Si Wang You Ju / Game of Death".  I can't see anybody arguing against that.

Except we don't use the cover for that information...

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'.

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.

as already noted by ruben

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 never even noticed that on the cover.
Personally, I have no objection to 'Si Wang You Ju' being added to the original title field. It's a bit of a grey area as to whether it's 100% following the rules, but it's extra data in an otherwise empty field so I see no problems using it.

Agree. The rules on Original Titles need some rethinking. I would add something like
"If the on-screen title of a foreign movie has been translated too, any other valid source (for instance, information on the Original Title on back cover, title used in the Locality of the original version, official web site of the movie...) can be used to document the Original Title."
