Yes, I need to point out, that is how those films were seen in theaters, I experienced it myself in Hong-Kong.
It's like, would one be OK if the opening credits were removed from films, and replaced with subtitles? (I know, it happens on some discs like the recent Inglorious Basterds UHD). The burned-in, dual language subs were on all the prints, worldwide, that was the original presentation.
I'm a sucker for original theatrical presentation, and sadly, when it comes to HK films, these are gone forever. The majesty of the dual language subs (that sometimes went up and down and half off-screen) was part of the exotic charm!
Let's say it's a time capsule... That's how the tiny minority discovered them in real time!
I did go back and get Once a Thief, ABT1 and Bullet in the Head. I might get City on Fire later but it’s just the original analog only disc.
Speaking of City, what’s the best version with proper English subs and original mono for COF these days? Is it dvd since the BDs are upscales?

It's strange how few HK movies have been released in HD, there were a huge amount of VHS and DVD releases in the UK alone and multiple releases of particular titles on DVD. I don't know if it's down to rights, lack of master materials or just a perception that they wouldn't sell
