DVD Information :

Region: 2

Main Menu Chapter Selection

Sound: Japanese Dolby Digital 5.1 or English Dolby Digital 4.0 dub with English, French and Dutch removable subtitles.

Trailers: Japanese theatrical trailer and the European campaign trailer.

Extras: A great set of extras complement the film. Four in-depth interviews with Miike (English subs), Alien Sun (in English), Tsukamoto (English subs) and Asano (English subs). Seven unsubtitled behind the scenes featurettes (including effects work and location shooting). EPK - featuring excerpts from the Miike interview plus outtakes and more behind the scenes material. A Photo gallery featuring 51 pictures from the film, the production and campaign ads.

Notes: The Premier Asia release boasts an audio commentary by Asian film expert Bey Logan, actress Alien Sun and producer Eliot Tong. An extra well worth seeking out, it is nullified by the heavy cuts imposed by the BBFC. Also avoid the Hong Kong Cat III release, which truncated the movie by over 10 minutes, removing most of the violence plus some vital character development.

    This DVD is approximately 4 minutes shorter than the Uncut Dutch version. However, according to Hong Kong Legends, the special features and audio "are to a higher standard" than the Dutch version, which they also released through a subsidiary.
