Picture: Anamorphic Widescreen. Image quality, in general terms, is pretty fair. Colors are quite vivid, and the films set design utilizes them to good effect, be it the glitzy gold glow of the nightclub or the red drenched massage room interior. The print appears pretty clean and free from artefects, however the sharpness is a bit soft and the contrast is noisy in the darker lit scenes. So, the transfer suffers in the details department, making it a so-so, average effort.

Sound: Original Cantonese Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo, 5.1 or DTS Surround, or Mandarin 2.0 Stereo or 5.1 Surround language, with optional Chinese or English subtitles. The English subs were mostly okay and seemed to translate the jokes fairly well. That isn't to say they were 100% perfect with mistakes like, "spanking the money."

Extras: The main version I've seen floating around were two disc sets, with the extras on the second disc (Outakes, Featurette, Trailers, Music video). What I got for review was one disc, no extras, and there wasn't a space for an extras disc inside the case. So, I assume this could be a sparser movie-only reissue? DVDTalk's HKflix link does take you to the two disc version.

Conclusion: Worth a look for HK comedy fans. I wasnt rolling on the floor with laughter, but it did keep me involved. I'm a bit puzzled about this copy. Since I cannot find any direct info on a barebones release (I'll update if I do), double check the extras when ordering.

The Cantonese Dolby Digital 2.0 track (features a few scenes in Mandarin) mainly uses music and the select few sound effect to open up the soundstage. That it does pretty well and dialogue also sounds clear. Cantonese Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 tracks are also included in addition to Dolby 5.1 and 2.0 dubs in Mandarin.

The English subtitles are error free and even smoothly explains some of the wordgags in scenes where poor Cantonese is spoken by Mainland girls. A few times the subtitles repeat themselves but stays in sync the whole time. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included.

Panorama has also included a few extras, all residing on the 2nd disc of this set. We're first treated to a cosmetics ad (also on the first disc) with Sandra Ng, looking much better than her character in the movie and the main menu offers two choices; special features and cast & crew. The latter option only has bio's in Chinese so I was quickly done looking here. Under Special Features, the first substantial supplements is The Making Of Golden Chicken. Clocking in at 12 minutes and 37 seconds, this promotional program comes without English subtitles but doesn't seem very informative anyway. The program consists of small glimpses of fun behind the scenes footage, including Sandra Ng working on her drunken master-routine and actor Chapman To getting his head shaved. A small section is devoted to the costume design and there's also quick interview bites from the with cast & crew. Overall not really worth a watch regardless if you understand what's being said or not.

The Music Video (2 minutes, 47 seconds) is actually performed by Sandra Ng, Eric Tsang and Chapman To. It combines movie clips and the actors lip syncing the tune in front of the Christmas tree. How nice. Outtakes (3 minutes, 53 seconds) will have you smirk at best when actors are flubbing their lines. At least it looked like they were having fun.

Two trailers for Golden Chicken appear and in an odd twist, feature specific footage shot for the trailer, showing Kum selling phone sex in a TV ad and Eric Tsang's character calling the service. Two nearly identical versions of this plays back to back, only difference being that Eric Tsang speaks mostly English in the second version. Trailers for The Eye and Three are also included. Note that the trailer for The Eye was never included on its own dvd so it's nice to have it represented somewhere. Also, the latter trailer only highlights Peter Chan's segment, Going Home, not the Korean or Thai shorts from Three. One annoying aspect of the 2nd disc is that after a clip or program is watched, you are thrown back to the main menu every time.

Easter Eggs are available are sprinkled around the disc in the different speech bubbles. Highlight special features on the main menu, press right to then highlight the speech bubble and you'll see a TV spot for Golden Chicken followed by a still of Kum with an accompanying chicken noise.

Go into the special features menu, highlight The Making Of Golden Chicken and press left to highlight Kum. Here we find another version of ad seen in the trailers, this time advertising the movie website. This is then followed by more chicken noise.

Finally, the trailers section has another Easter Egg. Highlight the Golden Chicken trailer and press left to highlight the speech bubble. All you get here is another movie still of Sandra, a speech bubble and Eric Tsang uttering a few lines of dialogue.

The extras doesn't amount to much but I'm not surprised this became a 2 disc set. It's a selling point after all even if you have next to zero in terms of in-depth supplements to offer.
