THE BLACKSHEEP AFFAIR

 

Released by Hong Kong Legends

Region 2 - PAL

Audio:

Extras:

 

Picture: 8/10

Decent transfer, decent print used. Not perfect since it's a touch soft, but certainly better than the other transfers by other UK companies releasing HK films on DVD. Also in anamorphic widescreen which is a great bonus

 

Sound: 6/10

Both are good clear dubs and are in synch.

 

Extras: 7.5/10

The trailers for Snake and Drunken Master have been made by Hong Kong Legends themselves whilst New Dragon Gate Inn has its original HK trailer. The interview/ demonstration is from a Fantasia festival and is in French (Chiu has a translator). The picture quality of this footage looks like a third (or fourth) generation copy but is an excellent bonus. Chiu's Wu shu demo shows that he can, in the very least, hold his own with Jet Lee.

 

Overall: 8/10

Decent film, decent DVD. Great extras especially when compared to some of the HK DVDs out there. Here's hoping there's more to come from Hong Kong Legends. Buy it!
