Enough people have reviewed this classic – you can even find a good write-up of the series on Wikipedia now – so I would not waste words on the story-line. However, the DVD set that just came out deserves a few words because TVB has finally come up with a product worthy of the series. There are 10 DVDs with four episodes each. Each episode is by itself so viewers can select a specific episode from the menu. In doing so, TVB also corrected one of the worst sins of the VCDs – cutting out the opening theme song and ending credits from each episode. The DVDs restored both. The ending credits were integral to several episodes e.g. Faye Wong’s song continued into the ending credits in Episode 36 and the flashback montage during the credits of the last episode were gems much missed from the VCDs. And even more amazing – English subtitles! And the translation is quite adequate too (except for the inability to differentiate between pork and beef :)! Could it be TVB has finally decided that the Western market is worth attending too? The video is crisp and sharp, the color superbly vibrant – it is such an improvement from the VCDs that watching the series gives a whole new level of enjoyment. Some minor blunders have been cleaned up e.g. the harnesses worn by the Ting brothers as they were falling down the Stock Exchange building could be clearly seen in the VCDs were hardly visible in the DVDs. The audio has been cleaned up some too. In Episode 37, background noise almost drowned out Yuen Mui’s words when she confronted Ding Hou Hai in the VCD version. The noise is still there in the DVD but at least we can heard her clearly now. Though the years, I’ve paid for every version of this series – the knocked off 40 VCDs from Malaysia, the VCDs from TVB … finally, I got value for my money. It only took 16 years :) If TVB maintains this quality, I can certainly be persuaded to buy more …. |
