Just have a question for CShmidlapp, if you're still working on the Killer..

Many releases..Both DVDs and Blu-rays seem to make an edit in the beginning scene where Ah Jong walks through the nightclub and knocks on the door where all the triad members are. 

This edit has the music that Sally Yeh is singing continuing right through the door knock sequence.  This really irks me because IMO it kind of ruins the seriousness of the scene and what is about to happen.

On the Criterion DVD edition the music is supposed to cut out right before he knocks on the door and I feel that this is the correct version.   Just wondering if your version is going to make this differentiation.

Edit: torrent seems to be working okay for now.  Will keep seeding!

Hi Chowfattony

PM Sent.

Thanks for your kind words.

I have not finished The Killer but have a pre-release version I sent to all that helped with collecting matrial for the final version.

I have restored the audio the best I can on the DTS - HD track including the opening song edit. There are still some sound fx contained from the terrible Blu-Ray sound mix's, but over all Im happy with it.

It also contains the Criterian Mono in PCM format from the Laserdisc.

Im very busy with work at the moment and have no time to spare on the project. Will update when I can.
