The Samurai Trilogy [Taiwan 3-Disc Set]

URGENT NOTE: A lot of people have asked us about differences between the Crash Cinema and Taiwanese versions of the Samurai Trilogy DVDs. The Crash version is a bit blurry and has oversaturated yellows. The subtitles are also a bit blurry and are non-removable. The Taiwan version has a much sharper picture and more muted, controlled color tones. The subtitles are player-generated so they are much crisper and are also removable. On the plus side for the Crash version, the credits are subtitled and there is an 18-minute documentary on the making of a traditional Japanese sword. If you're on a tight budget, the Crash version is an excellent value. Otherwise we have to recommend the Taiwanese DVDs.

URGENT NOTE: HKFlix.com has been informed by Toho that Toho owns the exclusive right to distribute this title in North America. HKFlix.com does not distribute this title.
