OVERALL: Draw

The Soulblade disc has 5.1 sound and some decent extras, but due to the way the disc was encoded the film is displayed incorrectly on widescreen televisions. Rewind feels this warrants a draw between the two releases.
CUTS:
- R0 Hong Kong- Mei Ah - No cuts, 94:30 min - NTSC.
- R0 United Kingdom- Soulblade - No cuts, 91:05 min - PAL.
