The DD looks excellent. I'd now pick up the BD though. What is that capture comparison between the DD and Deltamac supposed to show us?

They're all different shots, and you can't even tell which is which DVD. Laughable.

Weinstein should put some of these films out on BD.

They should, their catalogue is starting to healthy grow.

It says which is why, not that it means anything when the comparison is completely worthless.

I thought Romero did the comparison, he does them all the time after all.

I'm happy with the Flashpoint BD but i am keen to see some of those DD extra's. Im only going to double dip on this if it comes out on blu-ray though!

I bought my Deltamac Flash Point back in January only to have DD announce their version 3 days later. I don't enjoy buying mulitple versions of the same movie but those extras look very tempting

A quick rundown of DD's Flash Point DVD:
- The transfer is identical to the HK Deltamac. Maybe a tad sharper.
- English subs are retranslated and are not a direct port of the Deltamac like early reviews suggested.
- Trailers, TV spots, deleted scenes and a few other featurettes are ported directly from the Deltamac and are not anamorphic.
- Everything on disc 2 is subtitled, including the "Gala Premiere" which was not subbed on the Deltamac.

People are saying was initially ported from Deltamac's DVD, but corrections were made from there for better reading. However, it is said to have instances of 'Engrish'.

Yeah, I did notice some odd lines here and there but its a much more literal translation than the Deltamac. A little better IMO.

I wish they;d hurry up with Snake & Crane Arts of Shaolin!!!

But Heroes of the East is a must buy!

Artwork for Tai Chi Master.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 10 May 2008, 01:33

Nice artwork. I'll be picking this up.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 10 May 2008, 01:45

That is nice art work. I guess that means it really is coming. It's not one I'll be picking up though.

I'll pick up Bodyguard from Beijing when that comes though. I remember that being good.

Are there any reviews for DD Come Drink With Me yet?

Mark I thought you had IVL Heroes of the East?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 18 May 2008, 22:07

I do have the IVL HOTE but it's unsatisfactory.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 19 May 2008, 07:22

No mono right?

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 19 May 2008, 10:05

No mono and PAL-NTSC

Yuck!

That's the IVL by the way, not the DD!

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 19 May 2008, 16:32

Maybe I'll upgrade then.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 19 May 2008, 19:55

My Heroes Of The East shipped today from dvdpacific.however they've shipped it with another title that pushes the package close to customs limit.

Reviews for Heroes of the East and Come Drink With Me

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 21 May 2008, 23:27

Thanks Lee.

Interesting "Come Drink with me" has Mandarin Mono or English DD5.1. I've never seen DD do that before. I'd prefer a choice of Mandarin audio but I'd prefer Mono only than 5.1 only.

It's $17.87/£9.06 delivered to the UK from DVD Pacific:
