(8)Our Price: US$32.00List: US$50.00Save: US$18.00 (36%)Related promotions:February 5, 2009 Loved the showBought this DVD set and loved it. It's my favourite show out of the TVB condor trilogy shot in the 1980s and it was great to see it presented in this format, although I am not sure if it is really uncut, as claimed. The theme song has not been digitally remastered and I realise that some scenes are also not digitally remastered - perhaps TVB thought those scenes were mass scenes and did not need to be remastered. This gives the series an uneven quality as you view it, although I must say that ALL the major scenes and ALL the personal dialogue scenes are digitally remastered. The acting by Tony Leung is fantastic and the cast is generally very good. Pace and direction move along smoothly as well. If you bear in mind the constraints facing the making of the series, and given the period in which it was shot, this production comes out very well. Highly recommended.

(3)Our Price: US$66.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:February 5, 2009 Great quality showI was addicted to the series when it was first shown in Singapore 13 years ago and had searched high and low for the video/VCD/DVD with no avail until I stumbled on this last year. Bought it and did not regret it. The digitally remastered version offers crisp image viewing and lots of satisfaction because it now has English subtitles (although quite poorly written, but they get the point across). I won't repeat what the other reviewers have said re the contents and quality of the show but I would note that the last disc is not digitally remastered. Initially I had wondered if my disc was faulty but after checking with YesAsia, it turns out the entire batch did not have the last disc digitally remastered. Not sure if this is an oversight on the part of the producers of the edition but the difference in image quality between that last disc and the first 49 discs is quite stark so do be prepared for it if you get the product (which I would still highly recommend!).
