The Cantonese/Mandarin Dolby Digital 5.1 track is powerful when letting effects and score kick in during the various chases. Dialogue also sounds clear when it's all about that. A Cantonese/Mandarin DTS 5.1 and a Dolby Digital 5.1 Mandarin dub is also included.

The English subtitles are terrific and helpful throughout, with very few grammar or spelling problems. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included.

The first disc of this set also includes a Director & Guest audio commentary, with optional Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles only. Enjoy it those who can! Reportedly the track features writer/director Derek Yee, Daniel Wu and one of the stunt coordinators.

The second disc holds more extras (none of which are subtitled in English, except for the trailer) starting with the making of (12 minutes, 53 seconds). Cast & crew interviews, movie clips and very slight behind the scenes footage barely makes this a one-watch for those of us in need of English subtitles.

Next up is a a 27 minute, 47 seconds Deleted Scenes-reel, again with no English subtitles. Optional commentary is also available. Scanning through it, it seems to exist of small extended bits to the black & white opening (here presented in colour), including a longer triad brawl. Furthermore, there's more moments of abuse towards Milo's childhood friend, the informer Kong and Yee takes Dan Dan & Lai Fu to a few more places around Mongkok.

The most apparent valuable added footage sees Milo bumping into his wife with her new man and Liu escaping the clutches of the police. The latter being fun only as an excuse to see more of the wonderful Lam Suet! The extensions are minor and doesn't seem to add much but without the aid of English subtitles, I'm not able to judge that thoroughly obviously. Interesting to note, there is an off-camera speaker cueing Cecilia Cheung's Mandarin dialogue in of the extended scenes.

Midnight Action holds three small featurettes, starting with Principal Photography (1 minute, 57 seconds), showing the requisite opening ceremony and one special feature that can be enjoyed sans subtitles. Promotional Event (7 minutes, 13 seconds) sees cast members Daniel Wu, Alex Fong, Chin Kar Lok, Anson Leung and Ken Wong on their promotional tour, arriving in style on motorbikes, doing subsequent interviews with a very energetic announcer, hand-print ceremony and topping it off with an autograph session. Gala Premiere (6 minutes, 37 seconds) concerns, low and behold, the premiere! A not very formal one judging by the wear of the cast and the segment rounds off with fans, presumably, talking about their expectations of One Nite In Mongkok. Even without the aid of subtitles, this section is rather unspectacular.

Star's Files on actors Daniel Wu, Cecilia Cheung, Alex Fong and writer/director Derek Yee contains filmographies only. The Photo Gallery (20 stills) has one behind the scenes shot but otherwise are your usual publicity photos. Kudos to Universe for maximizing the size of these by presenting them full-screen. Trailers for One Nite In Mongkok (teaser and theatrical), Enter The Phoenix, Anna In Kung-Fu Land, Protégé De La Rose Noire and Love On The Rocks finishes this release.

Picture: Anamorphic Widescreen. The print appears very clean... well, as clean as intended. What I mean by that is, the film has an intentionally gritty look. The urban mood is reflected by the films cool blue tones and excessive grain. Contrast is rich, with only a few negligible scenes that aren’t as balanced. Colors are appropriately murky in the interior seedy dens, and then spring into vibrancy amidst the neon streets. Sharpness and general details are well-rendered; no noticeable technical glitches.

Sound: Cantonese and Mandarin 5.1 Surround or DTS tracks with optional Chinese (traditional and simplified) and English subtitles. While there are some instances of the actors re-dubbing lines, the overall presentation of the dialogue is realistically rendered. The sound fx and music are well done. The music is straightforward while the atmospherics get the most use of the surround speakers. The subtitles have some minor grammar stumbles, but nothing that heavily deters from the film.

Extras: The extras are all contained on a second disc. Unfortunately they are not English-friendly, therefore the lesser rating (unless you speak Cantonese/Mandarin). The main disc, the film, features director commentary.--- Disc Two features the bulk of the extras material.— Star Bios— Photo Gallery— “Making of” Featurette (12:52 )— Additional Featurettes on Principal Photography (1:37), Promo Event ( 7:13 ), Gala Premiere (6 :37 ).— Deleted Scene sequence (27:00) with optional Director’s Commentary — Theatrical trailer, plus teaser and trailers for other universe titles.

Conclusion: ...This DVD presentation, despite a bonus disc that is useless to English-only speakers, is quite good and worth a look.
