New Medium Rare DVDs.
Anyone got these?
Comments on languages, ratios, subs, etc.?

Not interested in the Best Of disc and i already have Taekwondo on the Shout! Angela Mao Collection. i'd wager it'll be the same transfer but maybe look a little better as it's the only film on the disc.

I have a soft spot for BEST because it was my first exposure to the Golden Harvest greats.
The old Universe DVD was letterboxed.
I have the Joy Sales DVD of STRIKES (which doesn't look too hot) and was hoping for some kind of improvement.

I wore out my VHS back in the day.

The Shout Factory release of When Tae kwon Do Strikes is a more recent transfer - but remixed
Has anyone got a reponse from MediumRare about technical things to be wary of? I'd write to them, but all my letters to HKL didn't achieve anything.

Re. STRIKES:
A post on Amazon states that both Mandarin tracks feature new sound effects.
Nice to see Medium Rare ignored those e-mails (mine included).

Also, looks like they haven't converted to anamorphic properly, unless that's your pics? I can never remember how to take pics from DVDs properly.
