| Mega Star presents the film in an aspect ratio of 1.78:1, with anamorphic enhancement. Minor wear and a few lines through the print detracts briefly but this is still a fine presentation on all fronts.
The Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1 (and its DTS 5.1 counterpart) also includes Mandarin, Thai and English dialogue but as I'm not equipped with such a system, my assessment of this disc aspect will be left off this review. The Mandarin Dolby Digital 5.1 option seemingly dubs only the Cantonese dialogue and Shu Qi is actually doing her voice on this track as well.
The English subtitles contains a few minor grammar errors that no one will have a problem internally correcting. In a rare touch for Hong Kong dvd's, the subs are deactivated during English dialogue segments. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also available.
On the extras front we start with a Mandarin language alternative ending (2 minutes, 39 seconds) that unfortunately does not come with any subtitles. It does seem to finish up the story in a more dark manner. Maybe. Mega Star had one of their rare good initiatives and decided to subtitle the Making Of (13 minutes, 40 seconds) into English however (with additional choices being traditional and simplified Chinese). It's geared almost exclusively towards fluffy, promo talk with minimal behind the scenes footage and stories. Nothing anyone needs to see more than once.
Teaser- and theatrical trailers for The Eye 2 as well as spots for Golden Chicken 2, Xanda, Silver Hawk and Elixir Of Love are offered up in the the More Attractions-section. Finally Cast & Credits has bilingual cast & crew listings and biographies/filmographies for producer Peter Chan, the Pang Brother's and Shu Qi. The crew's bio's has decent career outlines but Shu Qi's career is rather hastily covered. |
