POLICE STORY's audio comes from the original Japanese laserdisc. It's 2.0 mono, restored and synced better than the original film. It needed more work than any other track in regards to noise and hum, but the end product sounds fantastic. It kills the terrible 5.1 remixes.

THE KILLER is not possible. The 1080i Dragon Dynasty BD was sourced from a noise reduced 1080i 50Hz transfer. It's an abomination. This forum's very own CSchmidlapp worked on a restoration using the best 480i source available plus the laserdisc sound and did a phenomenal job. While it isn't HD, it upscales nicely. I know he had planned on doing more work with it, but I do not know the status of that project.

I doubt if I will get to Heart of Dragon or Crime Story. Neither are films I care to see again and from all I know there are zero true HD sources. I need to concentrate on films that are doable and ones I myself won't mind slaving over. 

I'm unaware of any HD source for WHO AM I? If there is a true HD source and it is uncut, point it out to me, please. I love that film.
