Ronster your a legend. For the video what source are you using?

I used a DVD that came free with the Hong Kong Legends Magazine Diagostini release. It was kind of around the time of the first UK special edition release. before they did the 20th anniversary. It was kind of Part color corrected like the special edition. Looking back now I really need not have bothered using that release as it was like a half done version from Hong Kong before they released the 20th Anniversary version but I wanted something raw and grindhouse although I wanted to sort the Color and contrast out. I learnt a lot whilst doing it I think that was really the pay off for myself.

I think it looks good with a bit of dirt grime and scratches it suits the film in a way, as It’s like an old pair of comfortable shoes. It always had dirt on it when it was on TV too.

I re-arranged the middle part of the film also as it’s in the wrong order as per the script. It works a bit better in the middle part.

It’s not just a hit sound missing for Bolo and Roper fight.

Yeah bad removing the music needs to be put back.

The old UK TV cut I seem to remember Bruce going out the Patio doors and then it was straight on to the guard Dog barking.

I also distinctly remember when Bruce leaves the mirror maze there was a sound for him pushing the revolving door.
