Hi, Zoidberg.
I have that The Killer Laserdisc, and have captured it (it's Made in Hong Kong, not Hong Kong Legends). However, the movie skips in a couple of places, so a second capture could be useful. I'd also be willing to capture the Just Heroes laserdisc if I can borrow it from you. But you might want to see if someone in the UK can capture it to avoid international shipping costs.

Hi IcePrick, thanks for pointing that out, OP updated. Obviously capping within the UK would be preferable but I am open to options further afield.

I always remember the Made In Hong Kong titles were framed like that so that the subs were out of the image frame. Unfortunately 16:9 came along and made life difficult.
Am I right in thinking that Just Heroes has only been released on DVD in France? It shocks me that a director as high profile as John Woo has such a poorly represented back catalogue of his Hong Kong films. It's nearly 2017 and neither Hard Boiled or The Killer have been released in the UK in HD, yet they were DVD stalwarts with multiple releases back in the day.
p.s. Thanks for sharing the screenshots!
