JUNGLE HEAT aka LAST BREATH - trailer for rare Thai version



LAST BREATH (Lee Ho/Jobic Wong, Taiwan, 1985) aka JUNGLE HEAT

There are four different edits of LAST BREATH: 

1. The original Taiwan version (also released in HK - released on HK VHS and US Chinatown VHS)
2. The international version entitled JUNGLE HEAT (alternative footage - released on various uncut VHS tapes, the best one being the Japanese VHS: uncut + letterboxed. The German and UK dvd's are cut!!!)
3. A censored version for Mainland China (cut for violence but includes some alternative footage - released on VCD)
4. A version made for Thailand - which has extra footage with Thai actor Sorapong Chatree (I'm going by the trailer and the Thai film poster here as the film itself hasn't been released to home video afaik).

I'm told a 16mm copy of the Thai version is stored in the Thai film archive. Hopefully, somebody will release it to blu-ray or streaming at some point.

    Nice! Just found this on YouTube. Will be watching it. Not sure if it's the uncut version.

      I think all versions are alright - censorship wise. The version from German dvd is slightly cut but still alright. The UK dvd is heavily cut, though. I don't know which version is on yt.

      Do you mean that there is a Vietnamese dubbed version of the version made for Thailand?
      And if yes, do you know if this has been released on any home media, or is available anywhere?
