even though the superstar tried to negotiate, Johnnie To always answered “Enough chitchat! I’m bored by dialogue. I prefer silent actors“.

You may wanna wait for caps before you buy. I don't know how their other releases have been like.

The French dvd and BD will be out the same day

I don't know much about BD's but man, I think I've seen VHS tapes sharper than that.

The glasses look like they are painted on Anthony Wong's face. WTF?

Yeah it definitely looks digitally painted to me, were his eyes showing through in the original shot or something? :icon_suspect: :

Matt's UK BD review:
http://homecinema.thedigitalfix.co.uk/C ... 0/06#72711

I wonder if the French BD is better.

How much non-English language dialogue is there in the film, and is it important dialogue or just random chatter?

Maybe the painted glasses were to cover up a continuity error. Like if Wong forgot to wear them in some shots. Otherwise I really don't get it.

There's enough Cantonese for the film to be classified as dual language, basically whenever Anthony Wong's crew aren't talking to Johnny Hallyday they're speaking cantonese, but there's not exactly a shitload of chinese dialogue plus most of the scenes that are purely in Canto should be easy to guess what's going on.

Thanks.

Maybe I'll wait a bit more and see if a US BD comes out. But I don't really expect a US release to improve over the UK disc...

Would be nice to find FR caps somewhere.
