Asian Movies in HD!

BD clearly looks the best, has different colours to the HKL release.

Agreed. Finally/hopefully a decent picture. I'm not sure about the new colours though but still easily the best. I just wish they'd re-release FOF

.

"Audio is a step up too with a DTS-Master and TrueHD lossless track - respectively in original Cantonese and dubbed Mandarin"

WTF!

Should be the other way round

In fact WOTD looks different to the FS as well.

True but that's not what I meant. I don't really care about that. DTS-HD MA and TrueHD aren't upgrades. Certainly not when Asian studios make them anyway.

True.

Colours look wrong to me, partlicularly the light sea-green sky in that final comparison.

Yeah, how come Uncle Wang's shirt is kinda yellowish?

Me too but you can rarely have everything.

You can, if anyone with a brain was behind the release. It is not as if they are doing their films justice at all, cheapo half cocked releases are pointless.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 Feb 2010, 22:00

Of course but that often doesn't happen happens. They're not cheap though. It looks perfectly fine, actually good to me. I won't be buying it at HK BD prices, it costs way too much.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 02 Feb 2010, 22:02

Yeah but these are Bruce Lee films, we want better than fine or good

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 02 Feb 2010, 22:29

UE is too bright.
HKL looks like sepia
BD has too much green.

None is perfect but overall I'd be happy ENOUGH with the BD image.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 03 Feb 2010, 13:25

My thoughts exactly and particularly when it comes to WOTD. Both HKLs and the Fortune Star all look pretty rubbish. It's easily the worst looking of the Bruce Lee films.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 03 Feb 2010, 14:04

Agreed - not sure if thats to do with film stock or how it was shot but on all formats - even the old HKL DVDs - Big Boss and FOF were both better transfers than WOTD.

luckystars · Post by **luckystars** » 04 Feb 2010, 21:34

It could be the prints were duplicated by the studio in the 80's and we're seeing transfers from a later generation (poorer) source?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 05 Feb 2010, 20:44

Shouldnt FS or some HK studio have the original prints?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 05 Feb 2010, 20:45

Should, but many Asian companies love to treat prints like pure shit and even just destroy them to make space. Nice. Many films will never look good in HD, as frankly no good source will ever be found.

My 36th Chamber BD has shipped from Axel.Here's hoping it's a worthy release,classic movie.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 18 Feb 2010, 23:21

Let us know how it is

1080i ,interlaced and hardly worth the upgrade,apparently

At least it has no remix.

it's piss poor when a small french company like wild side can release it in 1080p. Doesn't augur well for The Killer does it?even though it's one cap,it's clear the french release pisses it

No English subs on the French?

sadly,no.

From their facebook page : "Dragon Dynasty Which version of THE KILLER is @Dragon Dynasty using? It's the John Woo-approved cut, but it runs slightly shorter than the Criterion version due to PAL/NTSC master conversion and slight changes to the credits. All the same content is in there, but this will be by far the best looking, best sounding version of THE KILLER ever seen."
