hmm... can't say I noticed this when I watched it - it may have been there, but it wasn't obvious enough for me think about it.
Hate to say it, but I caught this as well. This only seems to happen during fast movement at the beginning of a shot change. Other shots look fine. Not sure if it's a restoration glitch in getting rid of frame splices, or something else altogether. Hope this doesn't happen with Fist of Legend.

Having now seen a DVD-R of the DD DVD - not paying for this messed up disc! - I can say the sound quality is very poor. Muffled, with no range, and the new foley is distracting when it happens

The stuttering print was worse than I imagined. I thought it would be like Mei Ah's DVD of Butterfly Murders, and just go into slow motion. In fact, it breaks up into ghosty interlaced frames, rendering the continuity of shots very jarring indeed, like a poor home video.

A total waste. God help us on FOL

Bare in mind these comments are on about a DVD-R but still...
