Just saw this edit, and it's pretty fantastic, so congratulations there. I've never watched the full movie proper before hand and this was a great first watch. John Woo's first American film seems to be his most Hong-Kong influenced. The other American ones seem like a hodge-podge of Hong Kong stylistically and American cheese. The soundtrack of this edit was good, wherever you made changes: it was seamless and better yet, much appreciated. The slow motion was nice; was all of it in the theatrical edit? A very nicely done edit technically, with not much visible edits. The only complaint I have (more like a little peeve) is that a bit more color correction could have been done to avoid overly reddish-skin hues. A slight shift to green would have been nice. The video quality is good though for an SD to HD upconversion.
