| First of all Deltamac managed to screw up the title on the dvd cover by calling the movie Hero Shed No Tears. Besides that little mishap their reissue of Megastar's old disc is very good. The print has very little print damage and the fairly vivid colour of the jungle setting comes off well. It's framed at 1.85:1.
The Cantonese original mono track (in 2.0) is not very impressive but Hong Kong movies never were when recorded in mono. Having said that, the track is clear sounding and I'll have this over a 5.1 remix any day. A Mandarin 2.0 dub is also included.
The English subtitles had quite a few grammar and spelling errors in the beginning but that cleared up as the movie rolled along. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included. The only extra is the trailer that's clearly put together after John made it big. |
