but is the picture any good for this dvd

[gZa]

If you can wait (at most 1 year) then wait for the r2 HKL version.

[bazkeane82]

year seems a while away, looks like i'll be getting the r0 version

[Sputnik]

If you can't wait, just get the Fox Lorber / Winstar R0 NTSC. As you say it's got a commentary, which I thought was very good and interesting :)

The picture isn't bad, but it isn't good either - but blame that on the film not the disc :) Not sure how much better the HKL transfer will be, but if I were you I wouldn't only wait for the new version, get both :nuts:

HKL are doing the works on the Killer giving it the 2 disc special edition treatment.

So personally i'd wait.

I loved my dubbed VHS of this film. "Mickey Mouse! Mickey Mouse!"

[Shingster]

Wait for the HKL release of The Killer, if the rumours are correct, it's going to be the ultimate HKL DVD, maybe the ultimate DVD of a HK film full stop!!
You may not have to wait that long as well!! Fingers crossed. ;)

[horseflesh]

Fingers, and everything else, crossed...............
And what are these "rumours" you've heard Shingster???

[Narshty]

Please do elaborate! This is probably the film I can watch more than any other and never get even remotely tired of.

Go HKL! :clap:

[Shingster]

The "rumours" are that The killer will be the next platinum title, instead of Naked killer! A platinum edition of a first class HK film instead of GOD(poor) & Red Wolf(Good, but not great) would be why it'd be so good! :)
Sorry for getting your hopes up with inside gossip there chaps! :p
