Guest GwaiLoMoFo Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Is the HKL disc worth double dipping on? Its arguably (in my head) my all time fav classic kf flick. I had the Universe, got rid of it after I picked up the Fox dvd. Is the image & audio quality superior enough on the HKL to warrant another purchase? How are the subtitles, hopefully not dub-titles like Fox. How are the extras as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopsocky Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Trust me the HKL is the copy to own, Original and dub audio, remastered and correctly translated subs, Perfect remastering, anamorphic widescreen and a fantastic audio commentary by Bey Logan-probably his best! Interviews with Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and Frankie Chan make this the definative copy, Plus there is a nice original trailer and wing chun text piece to boot!

Guest killer meteor Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 The image isn't as good as the Fox - it's a bit squished - but the audio is much better and the subs are good. It's not quite the original mono - there's some very brief and vague new foley in crowd scenes - but it's the best disc avaliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Running Man Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 correctly translated subs They aren't. The Universe DVD (which I believe uses Tai Seng's retranslated subs) has a far better English translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest killer meteor Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Yeah, HKL has a tendecny to revert to English slang - I'm not sure "f*cking queer" is tradtional Cantonese! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Running Man Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 It's not really the slang thing so much as it's just not that accurate period. They've become far more consistent with high quality translations after that era of releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest killer meteor Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Indeed, it's nice to see they got better at something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
