I got it today, and it indeed doesn't have English subs, so it obviously won't be going on WTK's list. But I'm guessing it's legit, since it's R3 locked and doesn't look like a VHS or LD rip (no composite artifacts). It's definitely from an old LBX master, though. Hopefully it comes out on Blu-ray or some HD format someday. Maybe in a decade or two when film scanning equipment is cheaper and obscure films like this can be released without expensive remastering costs.

Damn, I would love to get my hands on that DVD, I just bought the LD 2 weeks ago for 6800yen. Is it anamorphic?
I could not find it on JSDVD Mall or Yesasia and no listings on yahoo or rakuten. Does anyone know the Taiwanese name for the movie? They may help on JSDVD Mall.
It's a shame it never had a DVD release in Japan. It's funny and a bit sad that some movies that went on to be big hits with huge fanbases overshadowed the movies they were paired with in their cinema run and were never given a DVD release. For example, Bobby was paired with Kamui no Ken, Tabidachi - Ami no Shuushou was paired with Project A-Ko and Batsu and Terry was paired with Dirty Pair. I'd just be happy to find Terry and Batsu on LD but I have had no luck so far. BV didn't even re-release it during the Emotion 15th Anniversary campaign where they released a lot of older and less known OVAs/Movies.
