A Better Tomorrow - Cinema Polish
#11
This thread is the equivalent of tears of joy. Amazing!

I guess my question would be why use two LDs for the Cantonese mono and why have both the digital and analog tracks?

They are quite different, both Laserdiscs and analog/digital tracks. With all the size of BD50, I think we can afford to have all of them on disc even for preservation purposes Smile

And I still need to kinda sit down on my headphones and see which one sounds the best, but from what I remember it's the one I already synchronized in my ADC custom (Herald LD). But I didn't check out in depth tracks from HK Laserdisc that I've been provided lately, but it does seem to have lots of background analog noise to it (most likely because the print itself was sourced from hard matted cinema print and is quite scratched).

Uhm.. how many different music Track Versions exist for that movie?

I just checked the German DVD, and the german audio Tracks have a different Music when Chow is entering the restaurant and hiding the guns, compared to the Chinese Audio track in that Scene.
But that Music extremy differes from the chinese Audio Track (with the singing) on the chenese Tracks, on the US Anchor Bay DVD.
While the English on the Anchor Bay seems to have the same music, as the german audio Track on the German DVD.

That scene was always different on the export version. They dropped the chinese song and added some synth track in it's place. This is from original release in 1986.

And what's with the some kind of jazz (at least it has some saxophone) music in that scene?
It is neither the Chinese singing, nor the synth track?

There was a rescore made I think for DVD. After much buyers complaints, they removed it and put the original score back in.

Thanks,
Somehow that rescore always flew under my radar, just knowing the original singing and the synth international score...

The re-score I know of had tracks from Speed and Forest Gump.
Is this a different one?

I'd be curious to know this as well. CSchmidlapp, I guess we can conclude that the rescore that you speak of can be dated from the mid-90s at the earliest. How ironic, reusing tracks from other films. A very HK thing to do.
