Navigation through the DVD menus can be somewhat troublesome, simply because they aren't in English. Unless you can read Chinese, you might not have any idea what you are clicking on. Fortunately, there are many options and you should be able to figure out what is what in a matter of seconds.

Video:
One of the best things about this release is the video quality. The video is given in 1.78:1 ratio anamorphic widescreen color. The picture is absolutely stunning, providing a very clear and sharp image, with colors looking very rich. I noticed no issues with compression artifacts or other major visual distortions.

Audio:
The audio is another positive aspect of this release. There are a total of three language options, Chinese DTS digital, Chinese 5.1 Dolby digital, and Mandarin 5.1 Dolby digital. 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. The language options also include subtitles in traditional and simplified Chinese and English.

Extras:
The special features are found on the second disc and it contains a variety of extras that should be fun for the fans. The first extra is not very exciting, unless you can read Chinese. "The Story" is text about the movie, but it's in Chinese. There is no option to view it in English. "Characters" contains background information about the movie's characters. It is viewable in both Chinese and English. The main extras are the "Making Of" featurettes. It's your standard behind the scenes and it is available in English and Chinese. There a second featurette that is only in Chinese. In addition, there are also five behind the scene clips that are each approximately 2 minutes long. The other extras include a movie trailers, music video, casts & credits, and several photo galleries. Overall, the extras weren't very impressive. While there may seem to be a lot of them, none are that entertaining.
