OVERALL: Draw

The Hong Kong IVL and Chinese Zoke Culture releases for both the original mono sound and optional remixed DTS sound (although purists should note the sound effects have been changed in the 5.1 mixes).
The UK UE from Optimum Releasing has additional extra features including an audio commentary but the Cantonese sound mix on the feature has been tampered with so much that it cannot be recommended for the serious fan, although fans may want it for the extras alone. See the notes for this disc for more info.
