| PICTURE: Full-screen. A typical bad looking vhs master. The print is pretty worn and soft. Color especially suffers diluting the pastel colored sets. Faded contrast. Those familiar with the sad state of kung fu getting decent transfer know the deal.
SOUND: Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono. Once again, fans know the deal, English dub only. Shows the same signs of wear as the picture quality, though, for the most part, the vocals are quite aloud and clear with little distortion.
EXTRAS: Chapter and Jump to Fight Scene Selections--- Gallery of screen caps.
CONCLUSION: It is a weird one. I'd say it is wacky and fun enough to be worth a look for fans of this type of more cult oriented martial film. Plus, it is pretty cheaply priced. Still, the quality is a shame, but such is the case with old kung fu, there just aren't that many companies willing to settle and scramble for letterboxed, remastered prints of such fare. Only a casual purchase. |
