Technical Notes:The Blade [US Version 3]
All Content Used With Permission.
Gritty and dark, this film perhaps works better on VCD or VHS as the lower quality transfer helps with the presentation. This DVD, however, is a fine transfer--finally.
Subtitles were more literate than usual and well done. The dubbed version was well done too.
This is the first time, to my knowledge, that this artsy-action film has been released in its original Cantonese language WITH English subtitles. Fans of this Tsui Hark artsy-action movie have waited a long time!
The best BLADE disc I've ever seen. A fine replacement for the old Tai Seng disc of several years ago. 16:9 widescreen with large, easy-to-read subtitles, and best of all, the film is presented in its 100-minute entirety, with no missing footage. This disc is highly recommended. You'll never need another upgrade!!
Can't beat [HKFlix's] price for this DVD. I wish the picture quality was better, but after reading some other reviews apparently this is the best on the market for an NTSC release. Definitely recommended.
This version of "The Blade" is the DVD you want to get! The picture is a lot better than the previous releases! Much clearer and better looking than any of the other releases. It's in 1:85:1 aspect ratio with easy to read and well written removable subtitles in English or Chinese.
