| To the best of my knowledge, Chinastar has pulled out of the dvd market at the time of writing. That's such a shame since they've produced some truly great discs compared to the junk Mei Ah and Widesight puts out for example . The box doesn't mention it but this is a 1.78:1 anamorphically enhanced transfer. It's very clean but sharpness could've been better. A slight darkness lies over the transfer that is still very much watchable. Always a treat to see Hong Kong movies in 16:9.
The Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1 track is held back most of the time since it's a dialogue driven movie. When music and effects kick in, it enevelops you really nicely. A well produced and mixed soundtrack. A mandarin 5.1 dub is also included.
The English subtitles are excellent and does a very good job describing all the events. Chinastar have excelled in this area before and doesn't disappoint this time either. One set of chinese subtitles are also selectable. A short making of (3 minutes and 17 seconds) appear as well as the trailer for the movie. |
