| PICTURE: Full-screen. Worn out, washed out, overplayed tape master. It is like a tired mantra one keeps repeating when it comes to kung fu films. Too often this seems to be all anyone can dredge up, and it is unfortunate. So, it looks pretty bad, and scenes like the already the clumsily choreographed night fight are all the worse because of the grainy, spotty, soft print.
SOUND: Dolby Digital Mono English dub. Once again, I'll keep up the mantra. Dub has some wear and tear, audio dropoff, and other marks of its low budget and lack of care. Again, like the image, a worn lackluster affair that we kung fu fans must listen to with forgiving ears.

CONCLUSION: Well, the quality of the transfer is strictly a budget bin affair, so it is really only going to be for strict kung fu fans still willing to fork over dough for a vhs quality DVD. Even then, I'm not sure its going to be too high on a want list. But, it is a better purchase than the first film. |
