movie intro in color


Hi,

I have a chinese and american version of he movie... and for some reason, the chinese version starts up in color and the american one starts in black and white.

does anyone know why that is and what is the right version ? it seems like the trailer for the movie is in color... even for scenes that are shown in black and white during the movie.

thanks.

Hi,
I guess you are talking about the Kino Video Special edition of the movie. I have to tell you that the right version is the Chinese one: the movie stats in color and the turns to black and white. I don't know for what reason the Kino video is wrong.
The trailer is all in color, that means that originally the scenes were shot in color and then turned into b/w for the movie. But is not a mistake, it's Wong's decision.
Bye

Do you know WKW's reasoning to have some of the film in color and some in B/W?
