| Deltamac's dvd replaces Megastar's previous edition on the market. The 2.35:1 transfer looks quite solid. Colours are a little dull but the transfer is reasonably sharp. Print damage there is surprisingly little of considering the age of the film. Night scenes are a little too dark though and that goes for a few day shots as well.
The Cantonese 2.0 mono track features traits heard in these old tracks, mainly distortion. That is by no means intrusive and it works well overall. A Mandarin 2.0 dub is also included. Hong Kong cinema had switched to Cantonese as the language of cinema by this point so that is the track you should choose.
The English subtitles were a major surprise. I didn't detect one error and overall it seemed very well translated. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also selectable. Only extra is the theatrical trailer that also features footage from Hand Of Death. |
