Francois Tissandier, president of the Cinemasie Association (http://www.cinemasie.com/) wrote in to say that the Singapore VCD of the film (under the original ERA OF VAMPIRES title) runs 104 minutes and that the production company timed the movie at 108 minutes. Thus, Columbia Tristar's release is a re-edit which also changes the ending, making it more pessimistic and less original, according to Francois. So, fans of the picture may wish to track down that VCD.

Singapore reader Caroline Chai reveals that a DVD edition is also now available in her country. The disc is coded for Region 3 only and has a listed running time of 108 minutes. The fact that the VCD runs four minutes shorter is presumably because it is formatted in PAL.

Cedric Munoz, webmaster of www.hkmania.com, also wrote in to say that the transfer on the VCD utilizes red and green filters, while the American version uses blue. Cedric feels that the movie works better with the former color scheme.
