Fist of Fury: Platinum Edition - Screenshots
Hey,
due to my website down until January 2006, I decided to show a few screenshot comparisons of this film as a preview to my review then. The comparison shots are from the R2UK HKL DVD versions of "Fist of Fury".
ABOVE: Platinum
BELOW: Collector's Edition

That's wierd! Those caps look more like the old inferior HKL print than the new Fortune Star one as shown in other people's caps. Look at how reddish the skintones are. You did use the correct disc, LD?

Hmm. These caps do look good but I agree with Mark - Bruce's hair is supposed to be black, not brown.
LD, do you know whether HKL will do their translation from the Mandarin track this time? (I mean, theyre using the Mandarin track, but they should base the English subs on THAT track and not the Cantonese one.

I wouldn't bother... but then I replaced mine with the Deltamac ages ago. Those caps (on KFF) prove that HKL isn't always better than the budget alternative. It's silly that the existing CE extras weren't carried over but I'm not overly bothered. I'm really not buying the PE for the extras.grim_tales wrote:Is it worth keeping the CE?

Wasn't the Deltamac courtesy of me?
The Deltamac has better skin tones than the CE but obviously loses points for the fact the print is poor shape (compared to the CE) and lack of anamorphic enhancement.. IMO.
I'm not buying the PE for extras either, I think I'll keep my CE as a companion piece. The haunting melody of the CE trailer is wonderful.

Yes, cheers for that!grim_tales wrote:Wasn't the Deltamac courtesy of me?
Yes, but the Deltamac is also surprisingly sharper too. It's actually overall a better-looking picture. I didn't even realise that until the comparison.The Deltamac has better skin tones than the CE but obviously loses points for the fact the print is poor shape (compared to the CE) and lack of anamorphic enhancement..

If that's what makes you happy...I'm not buying the PE for extras either, I think I'll keep my CE as a companion piece. The haunting melody of the CE trailer is wonderful.

The CE trailer is present on the Platinum's trailer archive as it is on so many other HKL DVDs.grim_tales wrote:Is it worth keeping the CE? I think I may, for its own unique extras, HKL did a great job with the CE trailer.
I think it would be way sillier had they carried them over. Then you'd get people here moaning about how HKL are ripping them off supplying mostly the same extras.Markgway wrote:It's silly that the existing CE extras weren't carried over but I'm not overly bothered.

As for the screenshot, they are definitely from the PE. I'll make a comparison soon.[/quote]

According to this KFF post, the HKL PE caps do look more "pink" than the IVL ones (I thought they were from the same source?) but they blow the CE out of the water and look much better.

As usual, I got mine directly from HKL as I am one of their long-time reviewers. Guess they sent them out to us so early due to Christmas or so.bradavon wrote:* LD how come you have the disc already?
Also, this is not a review disc. I got the finished copy.
Will add some screenshots of the CE later today, or maybe tomorrow.* Any chance of a comparison thread, please?

Good question.
Cheers for this. It's a pity the IVL is looking better than the HKL PE (from a PQ POV) but I'll still get the HKL PE as overall it looks awesome.
They are but it's common for distributors to think they can do better and they start tinkering.grim_tales wrote:According to this KFF post, the HKL PE caps do look more "pink" than the IVL ones (I thought they were from the same source?) but they blow the CE out of the water and look much better.
