Distributor: Edko

Chapters: 12

Picture: A crisp anamorphic print that is full of vibrant colours and offers an impressive contrast. Night-time scenes have strong black levels, increasing detail and realistic skin-tones.

Main Menu Special Features Menu

Sound: DTS ES/DD EX Surround Korean or DD Cantonese soundtracks with English and Chinese subtitles (removable). Though adequate for the job, the DTS track (the better of the Korean ones) lacks real oomph. Ambient effects are minimum though the soundtrack is very resonant - a shame really as it features a particularly bad version of 'Knocking On Heaven's Door'.

Trailers: Teaser trailer and international trailer.

Extras: A Photo Gallery and a very basic Cast And Crew feature.

This DVD review is for the single disc Hong Kong version of Windstruck. Currently, there are also two Korean DVD versions, a two disc set and a four disc limited edition box set.

Video:
The video is given in an anamorphic 1.85:1 ratio widescreen color format. The picture quality is quite good, providing a clear and crisp picture. There are very little visual distortions in the image.

Audio:
There are three audio options includes in this release. They come in the forms of Korean DTS6.1 ES, Korean DD5.1 Surround EX, and Cantonese DD5.1 Surround EX. I do not have a DTS enabled setup, but I can vouch for the 5.1 tracks. Both sounded very good, providing audible dialogue, with sound effects and music coming off rich and vibrant. Dialogue tends to remain in the forward channels, while the sound effects and music tend to take advantage of surround sound setup. The language options also include subtitles in Chinese and English.

Extras:
There isn't much in terms of special features with this release. What is supplied includes theatrical trailers for the movie (teaser and international trailer), a photo gallery, and cast and crew biographies.
