The BEST way to watch YOUNG MASTER. Not only does it have a beautiful 2.35:1 letterboxed image it has the original audio with readable electronic subtitles. It also has 11 more minutes than the Tai Seng Remastered version (see below). I highly recommend this to anyone who likes Young Master, it is a great version of this movie. Now I know it doesn't compare to the new DVD releases today like Who Am I? and other very new movies but this movie is about 19 years old and I've never seen it look better than on this DVD version. For a comparason on quality see the video captures below. I have captured the exact same images from all 3 versions to compare with.

This DVD appears to be a copy of the Tai Seng Release in the US, The same titles are used here as the Remastered Tai Seng version.

Young Master
Tai Seng Video Marketing
  • Format: Laserdisc
  • Length: 90 minutes
  • Rated: NR
  • Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1
Contains both the Subtitled and Dubbed version. The Subtitles are always on the print though since you cannot turn subtitles on and off like DVD. I would stay away from this version and get the DVD version above instead.

Young Master
Tai Seng Video Marketing
  • Format: VHS
  • Length: 90 minutes
  • Rated: NR
  • Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1
Available in either a Dubbed OR Subtitled version. Get the DVD Subtitled version. This version has new music and it is quite distracting. The original music/audio is MUCH better.

Young Master
Bull Dog Entertainment
  • Format: VHS/EP
  • Length: 92 minutes
  • Rated: NR
  • Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1 Pan & Scan
JUST STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING BY BULL DOG ENTERTAINMENT--INCLUDING THIS! This is a very poor EP release of Young Master. The picture is extremely poor with analog subtitles on the print. A fair amount of the subtitles are unreadable because they are either off the screen or the picture is too bright so the subtitles blend right into the picture. Stay away from this version at all costs! Compare the picture to the picture above on the DVD import. You can see that this version is almost BLACK AND WHITE. DO NOT GET THIS VERSION. If you want to see it, first get the DVD. If you don't have a DVD player or think the DVD import is too expensive at least get the VHS tape. But read the Tai Seng VHS tape section first.
