The Criterion looks okay but not up to the standard of my Korean SE, it's a pity that's not included too.

The Zatoichi BD looks good to me. It's never going to look great, it's dodgy look is partly intentional.

I mean appart from the sharpness it looks inferior to the two dvds.

Colours look more vibrant too, although agreed it's not a WOW HD transfer.

Criterion Chungking Blu-ray looks like an excellent transfer. Colours look right to me, but I guess we'll have to wait what people who remember its theatrical presentation have to say first.

Hah. They added BD caps today after I posted the link.

Damn, that transfer looks great. Now I have two titles to buy when I go Blu (the first being Miami Vice).

Shame Criterion insist on Region A encoding. Talk about shooting themselves in the foot when there's a whole market of European buyers just waiting to get their product. [/Stringer Bell mode]

Thanks Hung. I cannot see much difference. I'm waiting though, in case AE beats it.

Yeah that is dumb. Thankfully I can play all regions.

Are the subs on SPL, Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon, and Fatal Move the same as the HK DVD's? I notice they're all region free.

So the BD of Seven Swords is a shorter cut than on the 3 disc HK DVD set?

Surely they would be, no? Or are you just making sure.

Really? HK DVD I presume?

Hey,

Sorry Brad, my bad. I should have quoted one of the posts about a Zatoichi BD.

Is there an image comparison between the USA and HK BDs?

I finally saw this tonight, bloody fantastic, easily Jet Li's best. The scenes with Moon were so touching and the action was excellent too. I know about Tom's posts but what were the major cuts to the Non-DC cuts? I've only seen the DC and wouldn't want to cut anything.

Wouldn't your bell-end chafe without foreskin? It's there to protect the tip. Just because some loon two thousand years ago thought it would be a good idea to hack it off (probably King Herod before he got into the swing) doesn't mean it's right.

So anyone here admit to having had the chop?
