Picture - 5/10

Widescreen at 2.35:1. Quite a dark transfer. The print hasn't been cleaned up so many little nicks and scratches are present. Nothing too distracting though. Removable English subtitles in the lower widescreen bar, which are coloured white and easy to read.

 

Audio - 5/10

Both soundtracks are fully functional. Nothing outstanding but hey it is mono after all.

 

Extras - 6.5/10

Quite good. The interview is good if you're interested in Jet's wushu background. It also contains clips from Dragons of the Orient. The photo gallery is a nice addition however the actual size of the photos is far too small.

 

Overall - 5/10

This dvd has received bad reviews elsewhere on the web but I don't think it's as bad as they say. A remaster from Eastern Heroes is highly unlikely and the only other dvd available is a poor World Video release (I think). Try and rent before you buy.
