Complete SNAFU - nice goin' Mill Creek!
All three films in this collection are defective. The first SPIRITED KILLER is presented with a choice of English dubbing or the original Thai language audio - but there are no English subtitles and the English dubbing is unusually bad.
SPIRITED KILLER 2 and 3 are screwed up differently. They are presented only in Thai and do have perfectly adequate English subtitles - but they forgot to letterbox the "scope" ratio films. The end result is that both films are stretched out to 16x9 making everything appear unnaturally tall and skinny. SPIRITED KILLER 1 it should be noted is properly letterboxed in the 16x9 frame.
Bonus points are awarded for referring to the Thai language as "Taiwanese" not once not twice but THREE times on the DVD cover. It shows how much work went into this release that not only are ALL the films on the DVD screwed up but Mill Creek can't even correctly identify the language spoken in the films' country of origin. Don't buy this release... unless you plan on downloading subs for the first film then re-encoding and re-authoring the whole package yourself.More detail ...
