HK Vidéo:

Different prints, different results. HKV picture is too dark and suffers from some edge-enhancement.
Mei Ah is cropped at the top, HKV is cropped at the bottom.

Mei Ah wins.

If anybody has the UK disc, I'd love to add those caps.

Next comparison: New Dragon Gate Inn (HK Vidéo vs Mei Ah).

I'd agree, the Mei Ah is the nicer looking option.

The HKV looks almost blurry (or have I been drinking again?)

Unremastered print, possibly.
