I'm looking for the best version of Ringo Lam's Full contact. can anyone help?

Perhaps I should've asked for the best AV version, I'm thinking HK or korean DTS...or HKL R2

I'd say
1. HK Video (good PQ and original mono)
2. World Wide Cinema (good PQ and apparently original soundtrack)
3. Mei Ah original (decent PQ and original mono)
4. HKL (good PQ, no original soundtrack)
5. Columbia (good (?) PQ, incomplete non-original soundtrack)
6. Mei Ah remaster (no original soundtrack, and the sound effects are probably re-done)

Spectrum and Tai Seng remaster seem like 'Mei Ah remaster' ports
Old Tai Seng seems like 'Mei Ah original' port.

My list is mostly based on specs.

HKV doesn't have English Subs.

The HKL soundtrack is actually fine and has more (unlicenced) source music from Extreme. I guess in the end the makers only paid for one song - and removed the rest. Teddy Robin's guitar has gone, but I didn't miss it, when I compared with the English dub that does have it. It's a pity you have to choose one or the other really.

I asked a while ago too.

I'm only interested in the Mei Ah Remaster and HKL (I reckon it's a safe bet to being better). In the end I went for the HKL but couldn't find out which is actually better.

There's already a comparison thread which may help:

thanks everyone I think I'll go with the HKL due to PQ plus isn't there a bey Logan commentary included too

I'm not bothered by mono infact I prefer 5.1 (re)mixes.

One question: Why did they get Gary Daniels for the commentary? Has he got anything to do with Full Contact?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 16 Aug 2006, 22:56

Nope. But Bey likes him.

Gary was in town. He visited Bey and on that day he had to record that commentary, so he just invited Gary to join him in the commentary booth.
