You must turn to Taiwan for the best dvd release currently. Love To Kill is one of those titles that has been varying in length over the years on home video. The Hong Kong VHS and Laserdisc had several scenes trimmed and even dialogue. When then presented on dvd by City Connection, they used a longer print but the Cantonese audio from the trimmed version, resulting in one bad experience in terms of audio. To add insult to injury, no subtitles whatsoever are included on the Hong Kong dvd AND it's presented in full frame! The Taiwan dvd is letterboxed and features almost all the scenes and dialogue cut from the Hong Kong prints (asides from the rape of Julie Lee's character that appears here in shortened form).

Scholar presents the film in an aspect ratio of 1.61:1 approximately and taken from a theatrical print, the image is not too hot but serviceable. Print damage reaches a moderate level and colours are decent at times also. As expected though, it's soft and darker scenes are the transfers biggest weakness. With low detail and black levels, they obscure some of the events but not as severely as you think. You take what you get and this is the most preferable version of the film even if you don't need subtitles (remember the audio remark).

There's only a Mandarin Dolby Digital 2.0 dub here that works decently in terms of being synced up to the actor's mouths. Being 2.0, the sound stays centered but sounds a bit muffled throughout. Once again, you take what you get.

The burned in English/Chinese subtitles get the job done with only a small degree of silly errors. They're readable at all times during the movie which is always a plus with these releases mastered directly from theatrical prints. No extras are included.

the newly released DVD in HK (without subtitles) has this "table brutality" scene in a much longer form than the subtitled Taiwanese DVD which is otherwise identical to the HK version. I've also heard that the old HK Laserdisc is different from these two and since the end credits are filled with scenes and images not found in the actual film, it is impossible to say how "uncut" versions these that have been released or shown theatrically are. Obviously plenty of footage has been cut out, possibly even before the theatrical release.

Æv. Hvad skal man tro på! Kan du ikke købe alle tre og checke efter?
