Armour of God (Longxiong Hudi): Special Collectors Edition | = |
This release appears to be identical to the UK Region 2, except for the additional trailers that Region 4 gets. There is a Hong Kong release coded for All Regions from Deltamac which does not have 16x9 enhancement and has only stereo sound. Another All Regions Hong Kong release from Mega Star is not 16x9 enhanced and has a Mandarin surround track instead of the English dub. The only extras are trailers. The US Region 1 release apparently has a decent video transfer even though it is not 16x9 enhanced. However, the only audio on this disc is the English dub. And the film is the cut international version, with two sequences missing from the Asian version. Confusingly, this release is called Operation Condor 2: The Armour of the Gods, quite similar to the name of the sequel. A Region 2 Spanish release of the cut international version has a transfer that is not 16x9 enhanced and is in 1.66:1. It has mono audio in Cantonese and Spanish and does not have English subtitles. Region 2 Germany is the loser here. Not only do they get a 1.33:1 transfer, they get just a German surround soundtrack. It seems clear that the Hong Kong Legends release is the best one available. |
