Where? All I see was like you said "Original Mandarin Soundtrack" that doesn't say Mono at all.
I've learnt to take these things literally. Sure I agree it probably means Mono but don't get your hopes up until you actually read Mandarin Mono.
It could mean Mandarin DD5.1, Mandarin DD2.0 Mono, Mandarin DD2.0 Stereo, Mandarin DD1.0 Mono with New Foley Effects; And still be accurate (or accurate from a marketing point of view). Mandarin was the original language hence even if it's a remix it's still original.

No it doesn't. It says "Digitally Enhanced Audio" which means shit. It's on a DVD so is by design is going to be Digital.
"Digitally Enhanced Audio" "could" mean DTS ES 6.1.
See you looking for something that isn't there (yet!)
Yes, as Grim says. The original Mandarin track had none of the famous war cries, just standard grunts as would be heard in any other Kung Fu movie. But since Fist of Fury Bruce's yells became an integral part of his style and so when the Cantonese version of Big Boss was prepared for VHS they added war cries taken from other movies and created a new score.
Looks like cd-wow finally have Full Contact back in stock, after I asked them back in March (I think). Sweet price too, only £5.99 (after discount). I ordered it on Friday along with City on Fire HKL (which is also only £5.99).
Schweet, two DVDs I've been wanting for a while for only $31NZD!
Silmido director Kang Woo-suk announced last week that he will next commence production on Hanbando, a dramatic, unfolding story of crisis and conflict on the Korean peninsula. Popular actors Cho Jae-hyun, Cha In-pyo and Ahn Sung-ki (The Warrior) are already lined up to play the heroes who will attempt to solve a century-old riddle in a quest to keep their country safe from Japanese enemies.
The movie, budgeted at over 10 million won, is due to start filming sometime in October 2005.
Seventy Swords?
It is rumoured that famed director Tsui Hark plans to make a series to extend the storyline of his blockbusting Wuxia masterpiece, Seven Swords.
Incredibly the 2.5 hour cinema version only covers a small section of Liang Yu Sheng’s compelling source novel.
Seven Swords collected an impressive HK$5.89 million at the Hong Kong Box Office in its first 10 days of release.
There's a review on the AsianDVDGuide forum.
It's anamorphic (and looks as good as it's ever going to look).
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".
I just received Police Assassins from HKL's website, and the front cover is different to the usual one! It's got a red background with just Michelle Yeoh on the front aiming a gun!
