The Cantonese track was originally mixed in Dolby Pro Logic and the mix is impressively re-created on this disc. Front speakers and surrounds are used very well for the rousing score but sound effects feels a little thinner. It's very enveloping and adds greatly to the atmosphere though and it's a rare treat to hear a 1993 Hong Kong movie presented this well. Mono Mandarin and English tracks are also on the disc.

The English subtitles are removable and feels like a solid translation of the dialogue. If not that, then at least it's free of grammar- and spelling errors. The problem is they're way too big to be placed entirely on the image. Should've reduced the font or placed them partly in the black bars, Tai Seng!

This Special Collector's Edition comes with a few decent extras, main one of interest being the audio commentary by director Ronny Yu. This will test your patience because very early Ronny leaves noticeable gaps of silence between comments. That becomes even worse during the second half. When he does speaks he provides a decent overview of the movie, going over topics such as how they were given permission to add or change things compared to the original novel, the different look of The The Bride With White Hair compared to other movies in the genre, the tight shooting schedule (it was completed in 8 weeks believe it or not) and the reasoning behind the step printing used in the film. Some fun trivia pops up along including the reveal that Leslie's character as a young boy was actually played by a girl and the mistake that led Ronny to employing step printing in not only the action scenes. Have to mention that Ronny's admiration for Brigitte and Leslie does shine through and it's interesting to hear him talk about favoring quiet moments (because of their strong presence) rather than dialogue.

Next is a subtitled 12 minute Making Of featurette. Short interview snippets with main crew, quickly edited shots from the set and plenty of movie clips sadly dominate this piece. Only the short contributions from Peter Pau (program identifies him as Peter Pan) and Eddie Ma ranks as interesting. Clearly a promotional program.

Filmography section offers well-written and fairly extensive bio's/filmographies on actors Leslie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, Francis Ng and director Ronny Yu. Obviously a bit dated (disc came out in the latter part of the 90s) but a good read nonetheless. The theatrical trailer for The Bride With White Hair (presented in fullscreen and with Mandarin dubbing) plus Tai Seng's video trailers for The Bride With White Hair 2, The Untold Story, Tai Chi 2 and Organized Crime & Triad Bureau rounds off the disc.
