Dude, aren't you asleep yet ?

OK, I'll provide some french caps.

Posted: **25 May 2006, 01:42**

Note:
You made it too difficult. I couldn't find the exact frames.

Wow, I guess it's not the same print afterall.

Overall, the German DVD looks a bit too saturated (skin tones are off) but it's still very good.
Extremely sharp too, sharper than the HK Vidéo disc in some shots.

I wish I knew why the german picture is yellow and why the HK Vidéo picture is blue.

Posted: **25 May 2006, 03:23**

LD, edit Tom's French caps in and tomorrow I'll add Tartan ones. If no one gets there before me, because it'll be PM.

Posted: **25 May 2006, 07:55**

I'll post R0UK Tartan remastered caps in the weekend.

Posted: **25 May 2006, 08:57**

Posted: **25 May 2006, 09:20**

What the hell? I thought Tartan was all blue, and HK Video less blue. I couldn't believe my eyes. I even checked my tartan dvd and Eva's caps are definitely correct.

Tom, are those dvdbeaver HK Video caps accurate?

Beaver Tartan

Beaver HKV

Posted: **25 May 2006, 11:22**

OK, added the caps.

Posted: **25 May 2006, 12:01**

Unsurprisingly the Frenchie has it.

Posted: **25 May 2006, 14:20**

Close call, IMO.

-German DVD is too grainy and too saturated.
-HK Vidéo DVD might be too blueish.
-Tartan DVD's too soft.

@Hungfist:
Since when are DVDBeaver accurate ?

I think their Tartan caps are screwed-up.

@LD:
Don't forget to add "vs R2FR" in the title.

Posted: **25 May 2006, 14:47**

Beaver's Tartan caps seem accurate, I checked myself. I think it's their HKV caps that are not correct. None of them show the blue tint

Posted: **25 May 2006, 14:52**

Weird, I'll try to compare the Beaver HKV with mine.

Posted: **25 May 2006, 14:57**

Beaver:

Mine:

Why my cap looks 10 times better than the DVD-Beaver cap I don't know.

Apparently they can't be trusted.

Posted: **25 May 2006, 15:08**

In our comparison HKV looks blue, Tartan doesn't
In Beavers's comparison Tartan looks blue, HKV doesn't

Yet all caps seem more or less accurate. Go figure...

Posted: **25 May 2006, 15:16**

I trust us.

Look at what such a mess the MeiAh remaster is. Brad, you have no excuse not to upgrade now to the Tartan CE.

Posted: **25 May 2006, 17:05**

I think anyone owning the Tartan or HKV (if French) should be happy.

I do. I upgraded about 6 months ago and traded my Mei Ah.

Why DVD Beaver used such small captures is beyond me.

Posted: **29 May 2006, 11:32**

Oh my! Stop posting images of HB! It SO makes me wanna go home and watch this flick instead of the all other BS I have to do!!!

On that note... the French and partly German disc looks great.

Does the German disc have original audio? (English subs?) And where would you folks suggest I get these discs from? I gotta have'm both...

Posted: **29 May 2006, 11:57**

Amazon.fr I'd imagine for the French release, dunno about the German disc though since it's probably FSK-18 and thus not sold at mainstream shops.

Posted: **29 May 2006, 13:42**

German disc is available here:

Disappointment, i thought the Tartan CE looked a lot better than that!

The French looks lovely.

Posted: **29 May 2006, 23:57**

Personally I think the Tartan CE looks excellent, I might double-dip depending how the Dragon Dynasty release turns out.

It does. You're looking at screen captures, which only tell part of the story.

They should be used as a indicator NOT the 100% reason to decide which to get. (Well written) Reviews tell you much more.

I took comparison shots from the new Nordic Scanbox John Woo collection box sets; It's a bit soft, but there's no digital enhancing nor any restoration for that matter.

Here ya go... (I only bothered with the 5 first...)
