If it sounds better than the mono on the Joy Sales disc, then sure, I'll take it. :D I'd also like the Mandarin audio. I've finished an encode of the movie using the HD Echo Bridge transfer, inserting the missing scenes from the upscaled Fortune Star transfer. I just need to add the audio and subtitles.
I'll PM you when I'm done uploading and send you the whole thing which has both Canto and Mandarin mono. The monos are definitely original since they have that 80's HK zero fidelity sound. The subs are terrible.
I have the Mega-Star (can't find it right now), Delta-Mac, Fortune Star (same as Joy Sales) and the Echo-Bridge HD. The Mega Star and Fortune Star's monos are both mix downs. To my knowledge only the LD (PCM) and Delta Mac have the original mono (DD).
The other great thing about the Delta Macs is they have the original color timing. When Fortunes Star remastered the Golden Harvest movies they removed all the blue and yellow filters (a hallmark of 80s HK film making). This still has the blue filters.
IcePrick are you still looking for the Police Story monos also? I have those also just not from LD.
