The Cantonese 5.1 remix on 'Odd Couple' has some foley tweaking although nothing serious (maybe 2% of fights - could be wrong).
Hussain, lots of those titles have faults

Sure, if you're being nitpicky they all have faults. Tell me a better alternative.

I know it doesn't make them less faulty, but they are still outstanding releases. I bet most of you will have more or less of them in their DVD collection.

Is Fox's Knockabout image not slightly better than HKL's?

As much as I complain, I'm grateful HKL never stooped as low as MIA. Their Return Of The 18 Bronzemen had no sound!

HKL has pinkification, but progressive. Fox is the opposite of course AFAIK 8) .

Tai Seng hired the HK companies to do those releases and largely just mastered the DVDs. If they don't do that, or import the HK films, their own DVDs still suck. Witness the crap that is the recent Saviour of the Soul release using a laserdisc transfer.

I wouldn't put it like that but I suspect he is in a minority of one
OUATIC is a superb film, Miracles and Project A both rock.
Purple Storm didn't suck, it was great. Naked Weapon is the suckiest thing that ever sucked.

Maggie Q is OK but Nora Miao is the best! Failing that Ching Li or if not that girl at the takeaway...

The early days of HKL was magic. Releasing those classic movies in a quality we thought we could only dream of.
I wouldn't say HKL suck now, they are pretty much the same as always, its just the rest of the world as caught up.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there. Back in the day HKL were a revelation. Nowadays we're more blasé about it
