The Postman Fights Back R2HKL vs R1FOX
WARNING: those screencaps can't tell the whole story.
Please read the conclusion before you buy the FOX disc.

The HKL is an appauling DVD, make no mistake.
It's blurry, horizontally stretched, the colours look weird and the sound is totally muffled.
But the FOX is even worse. It suffers from a heavy flickering effect (obviously not visible in the screencaps) in dark scenes, which makes it almost unwatchable.
HKL's Media Asia print does not have this problem.

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".

John Charles' review at HK Digital (http://www.dighkmovies.com/v5/256/256a.html) made some very interesting comments about the audio mainly (and of course the flickering of the image).

No, 480p. Why do you ask ?Eva wrote:tried watching the Fox in 480i, Tom?
The Fox is progressive, so the flickering has nothing to do with interlacing IMO.
