The Rank VHS is stretched and cropped at the left/right, but has more info at the top/bottom and it's obviously brighter.

It does seem to be a common trait of 70s films on DVD, both Hong kong and America. Video will be too bright, DVD too dark

One's too bright... the other too dark.

The fan can never win.

Any difference in cuts?

I seem to recall the Rank pre-cert being uncut.

Is this the one where James Tien is a blonde Japanese villian?
