SBS Subtitles

A mate of mine had this movie one VHS with subtitles done by SBS (Special Broadcasting Service, a TV channel in Australia which specialises in foreign content). For anyone whom doesn't know, SBS subtitles are the best I have ever seen coz:
1. They are in yellow text, so you can actually read the bloody things
2. They always use two translators - One English speaker with the foriegn language as their second language and one foriegn language speaker with English as their second language
3. They leave them up for long enough to read them.

If anyone knows where I can get a copy of this film with these subtitles I would be much obliged.

the translation isn't that good, though. Especially trying to 'westernize' the martial arts styles e.g. Iron Leg to Kickboxer.

It also lost my favourite line from the movie "oh no, your father has lost his face from practising the no-face stance!"
