      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    With his dazzling ability to stage exhilarating action sequences, director Yuen Wo Ping

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits generally pleasing image quality, with colors that are nicely balanced. Images appear somewhat soft, but detail can be generally satisfying. Hues are fully saturated, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Contrast seems a bit low, and visual information is wanting in the darker scenes. There is a little edge enhancement and some minor pixelization noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The English-language Dolby
