| Megastar's dvd presentation is pretty terrible for fans of this movie. The 1.85:1 framing seems correct and the almost hazy cinematography by Poon Hing-Hang gets treated nicely. Even if it's soft in intention I still felt the picture should've been sharper. Print damage is as ever present but was not too bad considering it's an older movie.
The cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1 remix is a disaster though. The good thing is that music is nicely presented in the front speakers but throughout the movie new bad foley effects are inserted and they don't fit AT ALL to the on screen action. Some of the dialogue is drowned out by all this also so it wasn't a pleasant listening experience. A mandarin 5.1 track is also included.
The english subs didn't fare to well either. The grammar present is often pretty horrific and it does spoil the film somewhat. Japanese, korean, bahasa malaysian, thai, vietnamese, spanish and traditional & simplified chinese subtitles are also selectable.
Extras...you can guess them at this point. Plot synopsis, cast & crew listing (with basic biographies for Tsui Hark, Brigitte Lin, Sally Yeh and Cherie Cheung) plus trailers for A Better Tomorrow, A Chinese Ghost Story and The Killer. |
