Hello everyone,
I thought you all might be interested in a project I am involved in called "Hong Kong Rescue". We create definitive hybrid versions of classic martial arts and action movies on Blu-ray. We have completed four Jackie Chan movies and one John Woo movie so far.
We've released Hard Boiled, Police Story, Drunken Master, Drunken Master 2 and Supercop. In the near future, we will be releasing Project A, Fist of Legend, Iron Monkey, Wheels on Meals, Armour of God and many others.
I've had a really great response to these so far and I thought you all might want to check out what we have done.
You can reach me at jrodefeld@gmail.com
I've created a Facebook page for this project:

And here is a thread I've created on the Kung Fu Cinema forums:

And what you might be interested in hearing is that we ALWAYS try to use the laserdisc PCM audio of the original Cantonese soundtrack whenever possible. A collaborator on this project has a friend extract the audio from the laserdisc and then he meticulously syncs up the audio to the HD transfer of the film.
I'd love to get your feedback on these fan projects. If you'd like a copy, just email me and I'll tell you how to get one.
