I think WWC looks slightly better, but there combing as usual (does that mean it's interlaced, aka it's the same thing?). I assume the french disc doesn't surrer from this.
NOTE: WWC release does include english subtitles.

Will the PA disc ever come out? Contender Group bastards.
The Finnish disc looks sharper and slightly less saturated to my eyes, otherwise both look excellent.

Too close to call for me.
I'd be happy with either image.
But the English subs are a major factor in favour of the Finnish.
I couldn't see any combing on the Finnish caps?

That's because HungFist chose comb-less shots.
BTW: The french disc has an interlaced transfer as well.

Well at least in 2099 when Contender finally release the Premier Asia disc, it'll have a progressive transfer.

Yeah, but we'll be long dead.
You'll have to ask HungFist's great-grandson to update this comparison.

Old topic but I could add Korean DVD caps? Oh and Hung, you forgot your 'G' in Gangster, mate.

Note guys:
Interlaced and progressive are not related to the transfer, it's only the flagging in the DVD and player.

Not true. If the transfer comes from a video source, it will feature combing effects because video is inherently interlaced. If it is from a film source, it will be progressive (or should be - thats where the flags come in).

But you can carefully convert interlaced into progressive image.
The player decides about the fields (also figures out what screen you have that can handle such input).

No... You can deinterlace an interlaced picture but you're not making it progressive. Unless you have a film source and 3:2 pattern, film you do not have.

Personally I prefer the Frenchie. Why PA have decided to kill this one is beyond me. Actually I bet they're waiting for the American remake.

Wonder when the third film is out on DVD. First two were pretty enjoyable.
