Young Master, The (Shi di chu ma): Special Collectors Edition | = |
There has been a previous Region 4 release from MRA in NTSC format. According to the previous review on this website, the quality was appalling. If you have this disc, ditch it and buy the new one. A Hong Kong All Regions release from Mega Star is in the correct aspect ratio but not 16x9 enhanced. Another release from Universe is similarly configured; both have trailers and cast and crew biographies. The US Region 1 release from Fox has some trailers and is 2.35:1 and 16x9 enhanced. It includes Cantonese and English DTS 5.1 soundtracks, as well as Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1. Reports indicate that the video is sharper and more detailed than the UK Hong Kong Legends release, but that it is cropped at the top of the frame. The audio is reported as remixed by adding new sound effects for the rear channels. The UK Region 2 release from Hong Kong Legends is the same as the Region 4. Given the problems with the audio of the Region 1, and the extras on the Region 4, I think the Region 4 wins out, except of course in comparison to the Region 2. |
