Mei Ah may have slowed down their remastered releases but A True Mob Story is a fine addition to the range. Presented in an anamorphically enhanced aspect ratio of 1.78:1, opening showcases heavy damage that soon clears up while colours and sharpness comes together in a good presentation.

The original Cantonese Dolby Digital 2.0 option presents little surround or front channel activity and in comparison to the 5.1 remix sounds slightly less in terms of quality. The Dolby Digital 5.1 remix I dipped into on occasion and aside from some slightly over the top stereo separation, it seems like a restrained option to go with. A Cantonese DTS 5.1 track as well as a Mandarin Dolby Digital 2.0 dub is also included.

Some errors appear in the optional English subtitles but on the whole presents an easily followed translation. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included.

Special features includes the often useless Mei Ah Databank (containing an Chinese and English language synopsis and a very limited cast & crew listing), the trailer and an interview with Andy Lau (called Words From Andy Lau). Unfortunately this 5 minute, 15 second chat doesn't have any subtitles other than permanent Chinese ones. The movie clips that take up most of the time does however feature Chinese/English burned in subs.
