Title Best
Enter the Dragon: Special Edition=
The Region 4 misses out on:
  • Significance of Belts in Martial Arts (2 pages)
  • Heir to the Throne - Jackie Chan (6 pages + filmography)
  • Retrospective of Hong Kong Martial Arts Films (19 pages + B&W outtakes from Enter)
  • Behind the Scenes - 6 pages
  • Reel Recommendations - 16 movies (all fairly rubbishy mind you)
  • Subtitles in French and Spanish
  • Snapper Case
Region 1 misses out on:
  • Isolated Music Track
  • Subtitles - English SDH
  • Transparent Amaray Case

    Call it a draw on this score. The extra text pages aren't as good as the isolated music track, but that's my opinion. There are also some other things to consider.

  • The R1 version suffers from far more aliasing
  • The R1 version has a lot less edge enhancement, but suffers from pixelization
  • The R4 version is brighter and sharper
  • There is a lot less grain in the R4 version
  • The R1 version has less 'repair' work done on it, but has more glaring artefacts.

    All in all, it's your choice. I can't split them.
