1 - Draw. (Virtually identical)
2 - HKL. (IVL is awfully pink)
3 - HKL. (Tricky this, because they look so different. IVL's brightness reveals more detail - see Waise's back - but the colour has more depth in the HKL and looks right. You can smell the odorous green water).
4 - HKL (IVL's contrast is too high. Bright white threatens to overun the screen)
5 - IVL (HKL is just a bit too dark here)
Verdict: HKL. Marginal win.

I used to be "the man who loves the movies you hate".
Now I'm just "that weird french guy with a cat avatar who comes to BnB once a year for no reason and then disappears again".

The HKL is cropped, dark, and missing colour filters (see cap N°5).
Why do you guys keep saying it's the best ?
Have I landed in Bizarro-Land by mistake ?

How can you say the HKVideo is a mess? It looks great, apart from the one indoor shot which is to blue. (It's NOT that blue on film... but for whatever reason I find most French DVDs (of Asian movies) to be a bit blueish...)
HKL is too dark, while the IVL is pretty good, it's too bright in a few scenes though... I haven't watched the whole HKVideo to make up my mind properly re. that release though...

@ Mark: Agreed it looks shoddy coming from HK Video.
The HKL is by far the sharpest.
The HK Video and IVL both look pretty messy to me. It's that simple.

Because it is silly. Yes it's to dark but then the others in some ways look to bright.Tom2681 wrote:Why do you guys keep saying it's the best ?

I took comparison shots from the new Nordic Scanbox John Woo collection box sets; It's a bit soft, but there's no digital enhancing nor any restoration for that matter.
Here ya go... (Note on the heli shot there's some glue across that particular frame... not really noticeable in movie mode though...)

I don't quite get why people rave so about the HKL? I found it too dark and desaturated (in places)... as for that the Nordic looks good I felt. It's not so soft as the ABT discs - and it's definitely not a mess. I hadn't noticed that there were "dirt" on the frames until I tried to capture that one specific frame.
Personally I can live with a little "film noise" (as opposed to digital noise) as I'm pretty used to that from the cinema. Still, I have to watch this on my projector to give a proper "review" of the disc.
