House of Fury Blu-ray
Tai Seng | 2005 | 102 mins | Unrated | Jun 24, 2008
House of Fury(2005)Action | Comedy     Chinese chiropractor Teddy (Anthony Wong) is a widower struggling to raise his sullen teenage son Nicky (Stephen Fung) and his wild daughter Natalie (Gillian Chung). Teddy's kids are deeply embarrassed by their Dad's outlandish tales of his glory days. What they don't know is that their father leads a clandestine life protecting retired agents. When an evil nemesis re-appears and kidnaps Teddy to settle an old score, Nicky and Natalie, along with her boyfriend Jason (Daniel Wu), put their martial arts training into action and pummel the assassins that stand in their way. For more details about House of Fury on Blu-ray, see the House of Fury Blu-ray Review Starring: Gillian Chung, Stephen Fung, Anthony Wong, Daniel Wu Director: Stephen Fung House of Fury Blu-ray, Video Quality  Presented in its original aspect ratio of 2.35:1, encoded with MPEG-AVC, and granted a 1080p transfer House of Fury arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Tai Seng Entertainment. I have not seen the corresponding Asian release of House of Fury, but given the past record Tai Seng have I must assume that it is identical to what I hold in my hands. In fact, my understanding is that, aside from the coverwork and cases, these releases are practically the same. This being said, the transfer for this film is very strong. Contrast is good, the color-scheme mighty impressive, and detail notably strong. Furthermore, I did not detect any disturbing patterns of edge-enhancement or macroblocking either. The lush colors in particular are very impressive and, even though I did not see House of Fury in theater, I tend to believe that they are representative of what is on the actual master print. I also did not detect any disturbing patterns of DNR manipulating. On my screen, the picture appeared extremely detailed and stable. The actual print is also in healthy condition – I did not detect any debris, dust, or specks. (Note: Even though this disc is marketed as Region-A it is in fact Region-Free, which means that you will be able to play it on your PS3 or SA regardless of your geographical location). House of Fury Blu-ray, Audio Quality  There are a number of audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: Cantonese: DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1, Cantonese: LPCM 7.1, Mandarin: Dolby Digital 5.1, English: Dolby Digital 5.1, and Vietnamese: Dolby Digital Stereo. I am getting more and more impressed by a lot of these Asian imports that are reaching my desk as of late (as I noted earlier the Tai Seng disc is actually a replica of the HK disc labeled for the US market). One really has to admire the fact that HK distribs are taking full advantage of Blu-ray, and in terms of audio treatment, they are notably ahead of some well-respected US majors. This being said, I decided to watch House of Fury with the Cantonese DTS-HD Master mix, and later on do a selective comparison with the LPCM track. My impressions of it is that it is very potent, with plenty of activity in the rear channels, and a thumping bass that will definitely please those of you with elaborate audio systems. Furthermore, the dialog is crystal clear and very easy to follow. I most definitely did not detect any hissing, pops, or cracks to note here. On the contrary, everything was handled exceptionally well and I was very pleased with the overall quality of the DTS-HD MA track. As I mentioned above, I did compare quite a few scenes, (mostly the fight scenes) flipping between the LPCM and DTS-HD MA track, but could not really detect any sizable differences between the two. In my opinion, it really comes down to personal preferences, and whether or not you have the proper hardware to take advantage of the DTS-HD MA track. No matter what track you select, however, the Cantonese DTS-HD MA 7.1 or the Cantonese LPCM 7.1, I believe that you will be equally pleased. Optional Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and English subs are offered. For the records, the subtitles are placed inside the image frame. House of Fury Blu-ray, Forum Discussions
