| Only available from Mainland label Zoke Culture, they "offer up" a cropped full frame presentation (two short instances in the film we see the print revert to roughly 1.66:1 letterbox and it even shifts slightly in print quality). Obviously Poon Hang-Sang's already tight compositions takes a beating and detail levels are anything but satisfactory. The print is clean however and watchable for a cheap price.
Not shot in synch sound but performed in Mandarin, Zoke only featuring that audio option doesn't harm the film therefore. The Dolby Digital 2.0 mono presentation also sounds fairly clear.
The imbedded Chinese/English subtitles suffer a little bit from the cropping and are displayed on white backgrounds at times. Largely however they are very well written and fully readable.
The Chinese language menu doesn't hold any extras of note. In fact, the "play movie" option appears twice. |
