As with Daughter Of Darkness, the film at hand was previously only available on an average Ocean Shores dvd . Currently I can't document whether that had censor edits like Daughter Of Darkness but obviously Universe's 1.85:1 framed reissue is preferable (Ocean Shores was cropped to full frame). They apparently worked from a better looking censored print and tried to assemble an ALMOST uncut print (jumps in sound and scenes are noticeable) from alternative sources. Therefore print quality drops at times where the additional footage is, only lasts for a few seconds though. The reinstated footage is mainly for the sex scenes since there is not much gore in the film. Most of the film looks sharp and fairly colourful otherwise but feels a tad too bright. Still, another kudos to Universe for pleasing the Cat III fans by going the extra distance.

The Cantonese 2.0 mono track sounds clear in terms of dialogue and score, no need whatsoever for a remix. A Mandarin 2.0 track is also available.

The English subtitles present few spelling errors and are optional as opposed to the Ocean Shores disc that had the original theatrical Chinese/English subtitles. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included. No extras are on the disc.
