http://www.petitiononline.com/warthkf/petition.htmlI just signed the petition. Even so.....You've got to be F#@%ing kidding me! What the hell is Disney's problem!? Are they actually thinking of selling these films to little kids? Cause that's the only reason I can think of as to why they're taking HK films that would get PG-13 or R ratings here in the States and doing this sort of hack-job editing. I mean WTF!?
Christ on a pogo-stick, I knew Disney was stupid when they cancelled Gargoyles. I knew they were stupid when they started with these lame toon movie sequels, but this my brothers and sisters takes the damm cake!
Sign the petittion, e-mail the bastards directly, do what you gotta do. Just save the films of HK's Golden Age of film from being f---ed over by Mickey the Rat!
