Re: The Man From Hong Kong Region 3 Vs. #NEW# Region 4
R2 DE
Caps added to the comparison
The progressive transfer has lots of edge enhancement, but it's otherwise good. The disc runs 1:43:12, but that includes almost two minutes of black screen at the end of the film. The film running time, hence, is 1:41:26. There's no company logos before the film.
The English mono audio is good and in sync. English subtitles for the Mandarin bits are available, but the translation is based on I don't know what. On the commentary the director makes some references to the Mandarin bits and the (original?) subtitle translation, and it's obviously not the same translation we have here. It's not a big deal anyway as there isn't more than a minute or two worth of Mandarin dialogue. Notice that the commentary comes from a different source (original AU disc I believe) so he wouldn't be referring to this German edition anyway.
Extras:
Director's Commentary
Extras: German and English Trailers
Australian Movie Magazine video (58 seconds)
Australian Premire (85 seconds)
Photo Gallery
Wang Yu trailer show (11 trailers, unremastered, some in very poor condition)
Edge enhancement
Scene missing from the International version

Subtitle translation is by Fortune Star (more accurate - namely what Sammo's character says).
