The Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1 track (with English and Japanese dialogue mixed in) uses the front stage to good effect for whenever the score kicks in. Dialogue also sounds clear. Cantonese DTS 5.1 and Mandarin Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks are also included.

The English subtitles does come with a few slight errors but on the whole are of high quality. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also available.

Mei Ah have provided a decent roster of extras for AV, spread over 2 discs. Before the feature, you're first greeted to a skippable trailer for Colour Of The Loyalty. Moving on, we find with the trademark Edmond Pang Director's Statement (2 pages, viewable in Chinese and English). Pang mentions he originally wanted a break from filmmaking but a quote from Mainland Chinese director Chen Kaige's autobiography caught his eye and off he went making a politically incorrect piece that he's sure "Chen Kaige will not enjoy".

Next is the making of AV (11 minutes, 55 seconds). Featuring burned in English and Chinese subtitles, the piece is introduced as AVNEWS and hosted by Nashinoki Kyoto, another Japanese porn star (real or fake?) that plays the role of documentarian of Amamuya Manami's experiences shooting AV in Hong Kong. The cheery voice of our host is dubbed over by an equally cheery Cantonese voice and this largely off-beat show is an oddity amongst Hong Kong behind the scene featurettes. Clearly adopting a faux documentary style, the Japanese crew catches the Hong kong crew at their worst; being lazy, badmouthing each other and generally acting sleazy, the latter being true for the portrayal of director Pang. And as a turnaround at the end, they all get praise and we realize we've learnt nothing at all. Just like most of these programs then. Funny stuff.

Secret Message (not mAssage as the dvd cover proclaims) Of Amamuya Manami (3 minutes, 35 seconds) sees her laying down her voice over work for the film and then delivering a final goodbye, talking about her experience making AV and working with Edmond Pang. This is all just general praise and Amamuya is more than just a little annoying when this giddy. Burned in English and Chinese subtitles accompany this program as well.

Theatrical Trailer & TV Spot contains the subtitled cinema trailer while the TV/DVD promo spot only has burned in Chinese subtitles. Outtakes and brief behind the scenes footage can be seen in the latter including clips from the video commentary session (more on that below). The animated Photo Gallery (running 2 minutes, 12 seconds with 28 images) mixes regular movie stills with a few behind the scenes photos. Nothing too exciting.

Outside of the plot synopsis from the back cover, the Databank actually holds some info this time around, namely short cast bios for Tsui Tin-Yau, Lawrence Chou, Derek Tsang, Wong You-Nam and Jeffrey Chou. In Chinese only though.

Moving on to the 2nd platter, we find the most notable extra in the form of a video commentary with co-writer/director Edmond Pang, actors Wong You-Nam, Lawrence Chou, Derek Tsang, Jeffrey Chou and Tsui Tin-Yau. Optional subtitles in English, traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese are available thankfully since all participants expectedly speaks Cantonese. Pang sets the tone immediately by asking why the members of Shine sit on opposite sides of the room and the rest of the track continues on in this light manner. Group commentaries rarely become great as they generate into flimsiness and people talking over each other. No different here and it's obvious the participants have not prepared. Having said that, the track covers some informative ground such as the real life character that inspired Tsui's Kar-Lok, references to Boogie Nights, deleted scenes, Jeffrey Chou's trials and tribulations as a first time actor and Pang discloses tips on how to avoid getting your movie slapped with a Category III rating. None of it really goes in depth but you'll get the occasional good glimpse into the making of AV.

The fact that we get to see the participants does help as group commentaries can make voices hard to distinguish. Otherwise, this does not enhance the experience much outside of the amusing moments where the Pang and the actors take phone calls during the session (Chapman To calls in at one point).

Even though Pang during the commentary promises 30 minutes of deleted scenes, this particular segment only runs 9 minutes and 46 seconds. Disappointingly, it has no subtitles however. Of note is that Jim Chin has extra scenes that were cut but otherwise, the importance and weight of the excised segments is hard to judge if you don't understand Cantonese. Finally, the NG footage reel (1 minute, 43 seconds) got the usual assortment of blunders, flubbed lines but some amusing antics of Eric Kot and a looooong screen kiss at the end.
