Picture Quality;

HKL	IVL

As you can tell the HKL version has the colors enhanced, although the colors look unusual compared to the IVL version. Wu Ma's head in the second picture (HKL) looks more of a red/pink color rather than the untampered colors on the IVL.

Subtitles;

HKL	IVL
HKL Subtitles include; English English (Subtitles For The Deaf And Hard Of Hearing)	IVL Subtitles include; English Traditional Chinese Simplified Chinese

As you can expect the HKL subtitles are perfect, very little spelling mistakes nor are they too fast or slow. The IVL Subs seem to be more of a literal translation, which shows some grammar mistakes, but nothing displeasing.

DVD Menus;

HKL	IVL

As you can tell the HKL menus are far more detailed than the IVL which is rather average. Hmm Red.

AdAmAs's Opinion; IVL (They have released the entire A Chinese Ghost Story along with the entire Trilogy in a nifty boxset, where as HKL have only released the first movie and have yet to mention any mention anything about releasing 2 & 3.
