The Sniper
The Sniper (神鎗手) is an upcoming 2009 Hong Kong action thriller film directed by Dante Lam and starring Richie Ren, Edison Chen and Huang Xiaoming, as top snipers for the Hong Kong Police Force. The film was originally set to be released in May 2008, but was delayed due to the Edison Chen photo scandal.
Hi, this is my first time doing this and I have no clue if I am doing this right so go easy on the remarks and criticism. --ThePotShot 05:28, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi there. Welcome to IMFDB. I'm keeping these discussions on the movie page for now, and not moving them to discussion page for the time being just so that no one misses them.
- QUESTION: Has this movie been released on DVD yet? I've checked and this film officially has only been screened at film festivals. If not these are Bootleg images and not allowed on IMFDB. We have a Zero Tolerance for bootlegs, being that we have many people who work in the movie industry (myself included) who work on this site. If it has then I hope that you or someone buys the DVD or rents it for some screencaps. Your quality from the torrent stream isn't bad, but that type of data transfer always makes me nervous as to the legality of the image. Illegally distributing movies over streaming video is still bootlegging and IMFDB won't allow any sort of illegal copy to make it's way here.

I did got the DVD when I was in Hong Kong this past summer but I can't be too certain if it is bootleg or not as it was purchased in a store. The screen shots that were there were from a site and I just removed them, sorry about that. My DVD drive on my PC is busted right now but once I get that fixed, I will get screen shots from the DVD.
