I'm sure Fong Sai yuk will be from DD. DD is under the Genius-Wellspring umbrella.

Great film. Let's hope they don't fuck this one up too.

You erm, think you could burn me your Channel 4 copy onto a DVD-R

?

I discarded mine (what a fucking dick I was to throw away nostalgia!) as I had better I suppose, but subtitles were pretty good and it was overall cool. I could do with a version without a crappy TV signal like the one at my end.

Whats so good about the C4 version of FSY?
I still have the C4 version of Police Story II (probably the MIHK version)

I don't have the means or the tape. I wiped it years ago.

Didn't one of you say that it has flavour subtitles, such as "Fuck off, Northerner git."

Really?

Some errors slightly, but it felt a better script. Was actually longer than the Universe DVD, except when a corpse burns at the start it would seem where the Universe is intact.

Yeah, that was me. I laughed when I saw that. I think the subber must've been from London.

That was also true with DD's release of Hard-boiled. I still remember hordes of geeks on another forum bitching about the "botched cropping, stretching and distortion" of the image. Who gives a shit! That was the same version seen on the 2005 Scanbox R2 release and nobody bitched about that.

Ummm...no, the cropping and distortion is uniqe to the DD

Fong Sai Yuk, excellent, finally a "decent" release... March isn't _that_ far away either.

Wouldn't hold your breath, but I am curious.

No, it isn't. Check, double check and recheck.

Thats what I did.

I might point out that nobody ever bought the Scanbox edition. That's why it didn't receive any critisism. It wasn't praised by anyone either.

Judging from Ricky's posts on many forums, he's DDs only fan!

I'm a DD fan. I was more of a HKL fan though.

I think I was more of a HKL fan cause I was less aware of their flaws and they released a good range. The only DDs I've bothered with have been the Shaw titles

DangerousLeeHandsome · Post by **DangerousLeeHandsome** » 10 Dec 2008, 00:32

I'm a fan of DD too, slightly more so than HKL.

DD's Hard-Boiled didn't look all that bad.
