Universe presents the film in a 1.82:1 framed aspect ratio approximately. Print is free of damage and transfer relatively colourful and sharp.

The Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1 track utilizes the front channels for some nice crisp effects and music at times but remains largely centered otherwise. Always clear sounding except for one early dialogue with Lily Lee but that seems to be a flaw inherited in the original production sound. A Mandarin Dolby Digital 2.0 dub is also included.

The English subtitles are largely error free except for some spelling and grammar missteps during the latter half of the film. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also available.

Extras include an unsubbed 10 minute, 8 second making-of that does try and spice up these usually stale programs with a sense of fun. Cast & crew interviews are on hand as usual, as well as the trailer, some bloopers and decent insight into the creation of stunts. Star's Files for Candy Lo, Jordan Chan and Patrick Tang are merely filmography listings and the 10 page fullscreen photo gallery is rather uneventful. Trailers for Anna In Kungfu-Land and Protégé De La Rosie Noire are also on offer.
