| It's a recent film but Universe's presentation is a bit of a mixed bag. It's a clean print but sharpness and colours only seems decent. The 1.85:1 transfer is also non-anamorphic which is a shame. Universe tends to only let the big titles receive that kind of treatment though.
The Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1 track rarely even challenges the front stage and sounds a bit thin overall which hurts the horror atmosphere a little. A Mandarin 5.1 dub is also included.
The English subtitles however are very pleasing with only a few spelling errors. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included.
At 7 minutes and 18 seconds, the unsubbed making of becomes enjoyable thanks to the behind the scenes footage. There's a brief look at the creation of the highway chase and the movie clips from that sequence have yet to have wire removal on them which makes for an amusing sight. The cast & crew gives some quick interview bites but it's the goofing around on set that is the best thing about this program. Francis always tends to get giddy whenever the documentary crew is around and he even intrudes on the scene where Nick Cheung is having a tender moment with a loved one of his. Nothing substantial but at least it was fun for the moment.
The NG Footage (7 minutes, 26 seconds) is a series of multiple takes for a few scenes and provides a good look at the filmmaking process because of it. The Photo Gallery holds 19 production photographs and the star's files for Francis Ng, Athena Chu and Nick Cheung disappointingly only lists movies the actors appeared in. |
