ABOUT HONG KONG LEGENDS DVDs: In virtually every instance, the remastered picture quality, sound, subtitles, menus, and special features of HKL DVDs are superior to any other version of the movie that may exist on DVD. Among Chinese film enthusiasts, HKL DVDs have become legendary in their own right. Note that some of their DVDs are all-region, while the rest are usually both R2 and R4. HKL DVDs from different countries are usually the same except for the covers.

URGENT NOTE: This is without question the ultimate release of this film! This is the uncut version, including the Chinese Opera scene with Yuen Biao and Lam Ching-Ying. The audio and video have been restored and remastered, and the print is anamorphic widescreen in the original 2.35:1 aspect ratio. There are lots of goodies on this disc, but Bey Logan's commentary alone is worth the price of admission. It is by far one of the best audio commentaries we've ever heard, and absolutely cannot be missed by any fan of martial arts films! Truly a 5-star DVD if ever we've seen one!
