The anamorphic 1.78:1 presentation by Mei Ah contains a lot more print damage that one would expect from a recent film but otherwise colours, sharpness and detail registers well.

The Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1 track provides decent front stage separation and overall adds to the atmosphere. A Cantonese DTS 5.1 as well as a Mandarin Dolby Digital 5.1 option is also available.

Some sloppy grammar and spelling turn up in the English subtitles but all meanings come through nonetheless. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included.

Extras include a four part making of that comes with permanent Chinese subtitles only. The first runs a mere 55 seconds and shows us movie clips, interviews with Herman Yau, Eric Tsang and small snippets of behind the scenes footage. Next similarly structured programs focuses more on the performers, starting with a 3 minute, 14 second piece on Tony Leung. Him speaking at slightly at more length may mean more substance to the piece but I wouldn't know without the aid of English subtitles.

Charlene Choi occupies the next 4 minutes and 10 seconds. Standout moment here includes her being involved in a small accident with a moped and Tony Leung hurting his jaw when performing his own action. The final 3 minutes and 51 seconds is dedicated to the Boy'z (Steven Cheung & Kenny Kwan) and with predictably unexciting results. Instead it's Tony Leung who takes center stage as we see him participate greatly in the directing and behind the scenes work. The trailer and Mei Ah's rotten Databank rounds off the disc.
