When Miramax acquired the rights to bring Shaolin Soccer to the West, they famously delayed the release for years and heavily edited the content. This "International Version" (often the most common one found in English-speaking markets) differs significantly from the original Hong Kong release.
In the early days of file sharing (think LimeWire, Kazaa, and early HTTP downloads), users would often set up open directories on their personal web servers. If you stumbled upon a URL like www.example.com/movies/shaolin/ , you would see a raw list of files—an "Index of /shaolin."
Distributing or downloading copyrighted movies (including Shaolin Soccer ) without permission from the copyright holder (Miramax, Universe Entertainment, or Disney) is piracy. I cannot provide direct links to illegal indexes, torrent files, or unauthorized downloads.
