>>>the print is rather faded and the sound is typical of Hong Kong movies, i.e. compressed mono<<<You're probably referring to the Criterion LD; it is horribly washed out. The 2-disc Japanese LD looks much better (but has a strong blue cast that is incorrect but suits the movie subjectively).
The Criterion DVD looks fantastic on a calibrated monitor.
The Japanese LD is mono but has excellent low level detail and dynamic range.
