Both dvd releases are available from Mega Star (only a 1 disc version is available currently of Three... Extremes. The initial pressing had a bonus disc with the making of's). The 1.78:1 framed anamorphic transfers look pretty much identical, revealing good sharpness, detail and colours. Some small pieces of print damage can be seen but nothing that will detract.

The original audio track mixes Cantonese, Mandarin and the options on offer are Dolby Digital 5.1 EX and DTS-ES 5.1 but as I'm not equipped with such a system, my assessment of this disc aspect will be left off this review.

The English subtitles between the versions are in meaning the same but they seem a little less refined on the long version. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included.

3 making of programs accompanied the 2 disc edition while Dumplings for obvious reasons only features the Hong Kong segment. Clocking in at 14 minutes and 33 seconds and featuring the same subtitle options as the feature, some decent exploration of casting and thematic intentions are on offer. It would need more running time to dive deeper into any issue though but as subtitles are available, it's definitely worth a look. Remainder of the extras contains a not so thrilling text screen with the synopsis, the trailer, cast & staff listing and English/Chinese language biographies/filmographies for Fruit Chan (also contains a well-written director's statement), producer Peter Chan and actors Miriam Yeung, Bai Ling and Tony Leung. Unusually informative, it's only Fruit Chan's biography that seems awfully short. Nice touch of Mega Star to list various awards for his films though.
