Offtopic, but why couldnt they just add the real finnish flag to indicate finnish subtitles to the cover? It would have only taken a quick glance to wiki, and few minutes in paint to make it right 

Whats Upc is it

Yea and the proportions are wrong, but on smaller flags the colour is the one that bothered me. Its like leaving an easily avoidable "typo" to a product people pay money for ...and i just know for the next release they'll copy the flags from the older release, thus slapping the "typo" in all of their releases.

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'.

JMHO


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.


I guess it depends on how you read the rules.  For foreign films, the rules say to use the original title in the country of origin.  To me, that is a clarification to the rule, similar to the exceptions for non-standard credits.

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 already said that that is where the original title should come from.

I do read you correctly? you would enter in the Original Title Field:
Si Wang You Ju / Game of Death

So DVD Profiler would show the title as follows: Game of Death (Si Wang You Ju / Game of Death)
a bit of overkill not?

Yes it is a bit of overkill, but I don't see a way...in the rules...of leaving out the second 'Game of Death'.

Si Wang You Ju is the local title in that local language

Game of Death is the English Title

Again, I don't disagree with you but, common sense isn't common.  Everybody has a different view on it.  I try to take the most neutral view using the rules as a guide.  If Gerri decides it is o.k. to leave out the 'English Title', I will not argue the point.

I thought the copyright notice was something you find at the very end of the movie... Guess I was wrong.

No, you will sometimes get a copyright notice on the back cover too. However in this case, this is no copyright notice - because of the complete lack of a copyright symbol, it's an information pane only.

Look again.  The copyright symbol is there.  Second line, right under the word 'of' in 'Game of Death'.

No worries, I missed it the first few times I looked at it as well.
