Fair points. Sometimes the colours can be close to the theatrical release, and I think also some VCDs were made from different masters than an equivalent DVD release.

I only ever bought two VCDs, but luckily they were films that either never got a DVD release or didn't get one until a decade or so after the VCD release.

When i first started collecting, I did not care or should I said know about quality. If it had alright English subs I bought it and I bought a lot of DVDs. It wasnlt til later I found out about quality of different releases and that began my search for the best release.

I loved Chow Yun Fat that I grabbed anything he was in and I mean anything. But this was also directed by one of my favorite directors too. So double points.

Audio:
Cantonese mono (analogue laserdisc track)
Cantonese mono (digital laserdisc track)
Cantonese 7.1 (from the blu-ray)
Mandarin 5.1 (from the Joy Sales DVD)

Subtitles:
Kuyahukduk's translation.

Video:
Blu-ray release regraded to come closer to the Golden Cinema LD release (hopefully with no encoding issues). What I did here was aim to come close to Colek's release while reducing the magenta tones of the Golden Cinema LD colours; as well as adding back the blue that often isn't kept in the most recent releases.

Full disclosure that, as we know, the original release wasn't the greatest and does have its problems; my regrade might thus have the same inherent flaws but I hope it does present an acceptable viewing option all the same.

PM me for the Mega link.
Can someone pm me a link for this please

Hello and welcome, please read rules. Also, refrain from posting an entire post with images just to add 9 words below. That's not considered good net etiquette Smile
