| Universe presents the film in an aspect ratio of 1.76:1 approximately. A very clean print with at times fine colours and decent sharpness, a purple tint accompanying the transfer at times does seem fairly out of place. A surprisingly solid presentation nonetheless.
Most of the performers seemingly speaks Cantonese and the post-synched Dolby Digital 2.0 track feels suitable in that regard. This was probably a production that was looking for as much of an authentic feel language-wise as any other Hollywood flick of its kind then. The Mandarin dub is available in Dolby Digital 5.1 only. Both tracks presents dialogue, music and effects in a clear manner.
The English subtitles are of high quality throughout with only a few spelling errors occurring. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included.
Standard special features pop up, starting with Star's Files for actors Andy Lau and Anita Mui, both of which are fairly informative but short. Trailers for Kawashima Yoshiko, Last Blood, Sworn Brothers and City Kids also appear. |
