Well sadly The Killer in HD may show us the EVIL DANNY LEEE FACIAL HAIR IN EVEN MORE DETAIL!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Is a BD release of Bullet In the Head planned?

[bradavon]

One minute Grim. I'll just consult the Bullets crystal ball.

[grim_tales]

Wonder if theres any chance of one then?

[romerojpg]

No.

[Markgway]

There's always a chance...

[romerojpg]

Grim does not want a chance, he wants a yes or no

[grim_tales]

A "chance" is fine, there probably will be one one day. Hope its a decent release though and not a DVD upscale

[bradavon]

In other words you've answered your own question, with what everyone else was thinking from the start .

After initially being sold as a Region A locked Blu-ray, the Hong Kong version of Ip Man is now being listed as Region Free on both Yes Asia AND DDDHouse (DDDHouse was one of the first places to confirm it being Region A only). Can anyone confirm that there is a "newer" release of this Blu-ray that is no longer Region Locked?

I have the UK Blu-ray release, but am keen to get the HK Blu-ray, since most people suggest the colours on the UK release are inaccurate...

Way of the Dragon BD comparison: http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDCompar ... dragon.htm

[romerojpg]

The black details are gone on the Blu Ray in places (like hair!)! wayy to dark in places. Far from what I wanted in an upgreade.

[Markgway]

The BD obviously has the best image... but the lack of mono makes it a definite pass.

[HungFist]

Many shots look like from Wallace & Gromit.

I would not upgrade even if mono was included.

[saltysam]

The BD pisses it image-wise..a clear winner.

[grim_tales]

BD clearly looks the best, has different colours to the HKL release.

[bradavon]

The BD pisses it image-wise..a clear winner.

Agreed. Finally/hopefully a decent picture. I'm not sure about the new colours though but still easily the best. I just wish they'd re-release FOF .

"Audio is a step up too with a DTS-Master and TrueHD lossless track - respectively in original Cantonese and dubbed Mandarin"

WTF!

[grim_tales]

Should be the other way round
In fact WOTD looks different to the FS as well.

[bradavon]

Should be the other way round

True but that's not what I meant. I don't really care about that. DTS-HD MA and TrueHD aren't upgrades. Certainly not when Asian studios make them anyway.

In fact WOTD looks different to the FS as well.

True.

[Shingster]

Colours look wrong to me, partlicularly the light sea-green sky in that final comparison.

[grim_tales]

Yeah, how come Uncle Wang's shirt is kinda yellowish?

[bradavon]

Me too but you can rarely have everything.

[romerojpg]

Me too but you can rarely have everything.

You can, if anyone with a brain was behind the release. It is not as if they are doing their films justice at all, cheapo half cocked releases are pointless.

[bradavon]

Of course but that often doesn't happen happens. They're not cheap though. It looks perfectly fine, actually good to me. I won't be buying it at HK BD prices, it costs way too much.

[romerojpg]

Yeah but these are Bruce Lee films, we want better than fine or good
