Once Upon A Time In China Screenshots
Posted on September 22, 2009 at 12:12 by Ulrik.Tweet this
Avid Asian Blu-ray Guide reader (and contributor) DCJuggler has posted two links to screenshots for Fortune Star and Kam & Ronson's Blu-ray Disc release of Once Upon A Time In China that made me spray my morning coffee all over my keyboard. What the flying fuck happened here?!
Hey boys and girls at Fortune Star, if some douche bag trainee tells you that he can transform bad source material to Blu-ray Disc worthy material by using some DNR and photoshop painting effects magic...please, just don't listen to him!

Funny thing is, on a small screen or thumbed (I'm peeping through a tiny-sized window while at work...) these don't even look too bad: sharp, with decent contrast and decent colour. I can assume that when seen running at normal speed the image might fool some people.
But good grief, those stills look terrible when blown to regular size!
Almost as if someone has been playing with one of those shaders which makes your photos look like watercolor paintings...
never seen such a THING , TERRIBLE? WORST PICTURE QUALITY SO FAR AND PROBALY FOR EVER(i can only hope so..)
What is this posterized POS
Wow, I am going to stay the fuck away from Fortune Star/Kam & Ronson's Blu-Ray release.
Damn, I could've done better upscaling a VHS copy. What a freaking bunch of retards.
More horrid screencaps. Look if you dare!

Egads! First Police Story, now this. What is going on at Fortune Star? The two Bruce Lee blu-rays looked pretty good, and they are older films!
