OVERALL: Draw
The UK release contains an anamorphic transfer and a good range of contextual material, including the commentary that is also to be found on the non-anamorphic R0 Tai Seng release. On the other hand, the remastered Mei Ah disc has DTS sound and an anamorphic transfer, but few extras. The French release has the best extras, but does not have English subtitles.
The choice is yours as to what's more important. -
CUTS:
- R0 America- Tai Seng - No cuts
- R0 Hong Kong- Mei Ah Home Entertainment - No cuts
- R0 Remastered Hong Kong- Mei Ah Home Entertainment - No cuts
- R2 France- TF1 Video - No cuts
- R2 United Kingdom- Tai Seng - No cuts (88:53 mins - PAL)
