As promised, I've had a quick look at the Zen disc and I'm impressed to a point. It does look like some remastering has been done, but there is still a bit of wear and tear showing. The good news is that it DOES come with removable subs (despite the back of the box saying Chinese subs only, and there being no English text anywhere on the product). The main difference seems to be much improved colouring. I've taken a couple of comparison shots between this and the Tai Seng disc:

The dark bits are still too dark for my liking, but an improvement on the Tai Seng disc. They even come in a nice little cardboard slipcase and include a diary booklet. I'm not going to view the film for the best part of a year now, but I'm a reasonably happy bunny...
