 African Queen - Hong Kong Import August 13, 2008
I saw absolutely nothing wrong with this version of the classic African Queen. I had been waiting for Hollywood to release this movie and had trepidations about buying a "foreign version". This turned out to be no problem, and I don't have to wait for Hollywood to get their head out of their ... well you know.
 african queen import August 8, 2008
Because this was an import, it turned out to have Chinese subtitles, which made the video unwatchable because they were distracting and annoying. I had to return it to Amazon for refund.
A classic July 27, 2008
A movie featuring 2 of the greatest stars of all time. A pleasure to watch and enjoyable throughout.
This is a real classic! July 26, 2008
Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn at their best. What else is there to say. It's actually a great love story, but not "billed" that way.
They don't make them like this anymore. The only problem is that it is not produced in the United States, but the Asian version is fine and you can eliminate the "sub-titles". The supplier I received it from through Amazon was prompt and provided a quality product.
 African Queen [Import], no off subtitles are bad June 16, 2008

This review only refers to the Import version of this movie. Although I was happy to get a copy on DVD since I love this movie, I was not impressed with this version on a couple counts. The picture quality and sound are great but you are forced to watch the subtitles since there is no off feature in the setup. This might not be so bad except there are several mistakes in them, the worst of all is when Bogart, according to the subtitle curses, but certainly not what you hear him say. What he calls Hepburn in the subtitle is something that never would have been used back when this movie was made, but it is a common curse word now. So if you are desperate for a copy on DVD this will suffice, but I am hoping we see a British or American release of this on DVD soon. Turner Network why haven't you got this out yet? Good picture and sound DVD, bad subtitles, and good replayability. - C. Luster
