What the hell is wrong with it? The main menu's choices are "Chinese version" and "Korean version", but it's the same movie. For some reason the Chinese version is dubbed, with English subtitles, yet the Korean version is in its original language and has only Chinese subtitles. This is stupid, and makes no sense at all.

"Have you ever seen the lain?"
The DVD of RING VIRUS that I have features English subtitles on BOTH the Korean and Chinese versions. The "Chinese" version is simply the Korean version dubbed into Mandarin, but the Mandarin dubbing is REALLY bad. Not only is the Mandarine dialogue NOT in synch with the characters' mouths, but the Mandarin dialogue doesn't start until about one second AFTER their lips start moving. I got my DVD copy through AMAZON.com. Perhaps I have a different version than the one you have?
shareMine doesn't even give me all of the subtitles. I know there's more to the movie than I'm being given dammit.

I don't have the American DVD, but I have two different region 0 DVDs. I'm wondering if I should put the old one up on ebay. Anyway, I'm sure that it's just a confusing DVD, has any every tried it with the remote, or don't the subtitle choice come up.
I agree, it seems very pointless to have the Korean soundtrack with Chinese subtitles and the Chinese soundtrack with English subtitles, or whatever's up with it.

My DVD has both the Korean version and the Mandarin version, but nothing is like the topic starter had described. Mine is the Tai Seng R0 release, it's a bare-bones release when I start playing the movie, the Korean version already starts playing with English subbies. I never did watch the Mandarin version, how bad is it?
"No, Twiggy. I look fat in it. You look ugly."
Tai Seng's 2005 re-release has Korean and English audio in Dolby 5.1 and Chinese audio on Dolby 2.0, and it allows you to choose the subtitles seperately.
shareYeah I noticed that too. It took me a while to figure out the problem
