| Distributed by Warner Bros in Asia, the Japan edition features an 1.76:1 framed, anamorphically enhanced transfer. Looking clean and clear, the transfer succeeds.
Audio options are Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1, Mandarin Dolby Digital 5.1 and Japanese Dolby Digital 5.1 but as I'm not equipped with such a system, my assessment of this disc aspect will be left off this review. Despite the Taipei setting, most of the film is performed in synch sound Cantonese (a few excursions into English, German, Polish and Mandarin are present) and it's the third audio option on the disc (the menus are all in Japanese)
The English subtitles are flawless and fully coherent. Two sets of Japanese subtitles, traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese are also included.
A little extras package does come included (lacking English subtitles), starting with 2 trailers and 2 TV Spots. The standard Making Of (12 minutes, 33 seconds) does contain a look at the illustrations in Jimmy Liao's book, which is neat. Finally, the music videos for Gigi Leung's songs provided for the movie are included. Combining movie clips and Leung lip synching, neither of the clips are very interesting. |
