The HKL R2 DVD has an annoying flaw that ruined my viewing pleasure


Well, nearly ruined at least...

Anyway, it's a white "scratch" that appears there throughout the entire movie. I'm not sure if every copy has the same problem but it seems that I'm not the only one with the problem since I found a site with a picture from the movie in which I think I could see the same flaw.

Here's a screenshot I took: http://s71.photobucket.com/albums/i138/Man_With_a_Harmonica/?action=view&current=Bullet_in_the_Head.jpg&refPage=&imgAnch=imgAnch2
I'ts above the lip, on the left.

Here's another one if you can't see it: http://s71.photobucket.com/albums/i138/Man_With_a_Harmonica/?action=view&current=Scratch.jpg&refPage=&imgAnch=imgAnch1

Now, please check your DVD and tell me if you have the same problem on your DVD. I took that picture in running time of 1:04:53, but as I said, it's there throughout the movie, only sometimes it's easier to spot.

Oh, by the way, the HKL edition of The Killer I own has excactly the same problem, but it may not be in every copy as I've asked someone if it's on his copy before.

No, I haven't emailed about it. At this point I'm trying to find out if it's just my copy or if the problem is with all the copies. So, did you notice the problem now that you knew about it, or did you check?

Ok, I just contacted them. Thanks for your help.

I don't think it's the DVD problem. Jacky Cheung does have a few scars on his face, since I have seen quite a few of his films and notice it all the time.

My DVD has no scratch like that, as far as I could tell. I just got done watching the movie about 3 minutes ago.
