. However, this is really not something that can be blamed on Dragon Dynasty, as the previous dub was created by Media Asia when they owned the rights to the Fortune Star collection and thus was not owned by Fortune Star.

I don't think this is the case. GH created and owned the original dubs, and FS have used them at least twice, with Game Of Death II (understandably), The Prodigal Son and the Bruce Lee films. The new dubs FS have provided were also there in the HKL/Media Asia days, but HKL only used them when the original did not fit. I see no reason why we can't have the original dubs if companies at least bothered to ask

Am I the only one who noticed that the picture flashes during the entire movie? It is like a white flashiness, but I don't really know how to explain it. It is not nearly as big of a deal as the Police Story 1 release from DD, but it is still noticeable.

I only noticed for the first couple of minutes and only when really looking for it.

[morgoth]

Yeah, it is too good of a movie to pay attention to it the whole time. By the end of the movie i had forgotten about it.

And just on a side note, did anyone see the LAst Hurrah original trailer included on the disc? I thought it sucked. Not nearly as good as the Shaw trailers.

Morgoth, I noticed the flashiness in the video when I watched this film yesterday... :rolleyes . I wondered what was with the picture. I'm thinking about investing in the HKL disc to see if it's a better print and remastering job overall.

"My name is Chen... I want your Master!!"

[morgoth]

Find someone who has both versions, and ask them. That is the only way of finding the best version.

Both use the same HD master.

There's a very slight flicker on the HKL but i wouldnt describe it as a 'white flash'. I had to look hard to spot it aswell.

I guess its something with the source material then.
