The Killer: R2DE vs R1 vs R2UK vs R2FR vs R2Nordic vs R3HK
Note: The french HK Vidéo DVD contains both the theatrical cut and the extended taiwanese cut.
French subs are removable for the taiwanese cut (which contains burnt-in english subs).

The french transfer is quite dirty, but it's supposed to be the sharpest.
Fox Lorber: Soft picture and contrast boosting from Hell.
Despite some cropping, the HKV is still the best (so far).
EDIT:
Wow. Even though the IVL is sharper in some shots, the HK Vidéo disc still has the upper hand in others.
Overall I'd say:
1. IVL
2. HK Vidéo
3. HKL
4. HK Vidéo Extended
4. Everything Else.

I don't really understand why everyone says the HKL is so great picture-wise. From what I can remember (its a while since I saw it) it was a mess in a few scenes with too much digital noise & massive compression artefacts.
I remember this from when I watched it on my 24" widescreen. I dread to think what its going to look like on my new 37" plasma.

The HKL is cropped and blurry (just like many of their 2002-2003 releases), but it might have better brightness and contrast levels than the HK Vidéo.
