Fong Sai Yuk = Universe (Remastered) DVD vs Klock Worx DVD

Universe DVD has an iffy but quite good remix and subtitles. It's cut, no mono or anamorphic.

Klock Worx is interlaced and has no English subtitles, but it's uncut, anamorphic, remastered for most part and contains mono (poor quality however compared to the great Japanese soundtrack which almost sounds like it was newly mixed).

Universe = R0 Hong Kong.
Klock Worx = R2 Japan.

See 'Asian DVD Guide' for the cuts.

How long is it cut by then? I never knew it was cut. I still own it (and Part 2) as they're still the only English friendly versions worth owning.

They both need remastering badly. Pity Universe never went through a remastering process like Mei Ah did.

At least the Remix isn't as bad as their Tai Chi Master one.

As for which I prefer they're both a mess but the Universe "just" has the edge.

About 5 seconds.

What are HK Vidéo waiting for ?

They've got the rights, they've already restored it, they've shown a clip of it in the Tai-Chi Master extras...

Wow! DD will likely re-release it so I'll be waiting for their release.

HKVideo's TCM was a little dodgy using artificial motion at certain points (during the credits), the image is a bit too bright and contrast may not be right either.
