City Hunter, best version?

[DangerousLeeHandsome]

Fox's would've great had it not been for the crap dubtitles.

[Knetan]

hey,

and the mentioned flintstontes cartoon-esque remix on the Fox is NOT worth the price of admission. Someone at Joy Sales got a real hard on for those kind of sound effects, even including them in old school movies.

You'll have to make your own version with other unmentioned sources.

I don't mind grain (it's unavoidable) just as long as detail is retained.

You wouldn't be able to use the PAL sped-up HKL soundtrack to create a custom version matched to any NTSC picture. Unless you slowed the PAL-sourced soundtrack down to 30fps.

The HKL DVD is a remix anyway . I'd actually be slowing the film down to 24fps.

5.1 remix in Cantonese (if it's any good) would have been nice too 8) .

[Knetan]

hey,

so that's your dream or you're doing your own editions now, Scott?

[chenlung]

A dream, Ken .

I think I would actually be able to with the current software I have .

[Ray_Rogers]

Does the Joy Sales have subtitles or are they the dubtitles from the FOX release? Is the original Cantonese a down mix or the real deal? More so that i can finally retire my FOX DVD. I don't care at all for English audio dubs anyway.
I also looked on DVDCompare.

[HungFist]

The JS is a downmix with "Mickey Mouse" effects.

As far as I recall the HKL disc is excellent.
