| PICTURE: Full-Screen. Bad tape transfer, worn out, washed out, strictly poor vhs, middle of the road bootleg looking quality. Its soft. Its grainy. The colors are dull. The contrast is poor. And, its a shame that this is still constantly the case with kung fu films getting DVD transfers.
SOUND: Dolby Digital Mono English dub. Well, they didn't get great thespians to do this dub, that's for sure. If the image of Fong Sai Yuk wasn't goofy enough, the voice actor dubbing him adds quite a bit more goofiness.
EXTRAS: Chapter and "Jump to Fights" Scene Selections
CONCLUSION: Even if the far superior Fong Sai Yuk with Jet Li or Prodigal Boxer (1973) with Meng Fei didn't exist, this would be a pale kung fu movie. Still, I'd give it a passing grade for kung fu aficionados if the transfer were decent, but Celestial and the like have raised my expectations for how good the genre can look. Skip it unless you are a die hard fan looking for a light, no expectations purchase, and want to add to your collections of Fong Sai Yuk films. |
