Awesome review for an awesome movie!

Seriously don't understand why golden princess has no more interests in selling licenses to their films. the killer needs a legit decent release and restoration. especially seeing how great all these uk blu ray companies like eureka! and 88 films release 2k and 4k transfers (though 1080p blu ray)of hong kong films from this period that look amazing.

There’s a bootleg HD restoration of this movie that a fan did and it also has loads of extras on 2 Blu-Ray discs. It’s the best the film ever looked. It’s available on EBay from a UK seller that creates copies of the bootleg.

Really funny to say HK doesn't like jazz, when it was for a time the only place to get jazz made by chinese people
The PRC cracked down on jazz for like very similar reasons to white americans for a period of time, and during that HK carried a lot of chinese jazz. Before the crackdown, Shanghai was a real center for jazz tho

Tarantino uses the same tecniques to shoot ALL his movies.
