To make matters even worse the color is faded (unsure whether this was intentional) but to me it looked like a print that has been neglected. Blacks are occasionally murky especially in scenes that take place at night and overall lacks definition.

This transfer isn't the worst I've seen, in fact it's nearly watchable (nearly) I guess the transfer's quality suits this 'wretched' film.

Audio: The film includes only a Japanese Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo track, which I can only assume is the film's original theatrical mix. The dialogue is clean and I didn't spot too many problems other than the fact this track sound tinny, especially when the score kicks in. The track sounds hollow and depth is limited. But considering this film is dialogue heavy I can afford it a passing grade, but only just.

Optional subtitles are included in Chinese and English, I found a few spelling errors in the English subtitle track and I was annoyed that almost all the time the subtitles disappeared off the screen too quickly and I had to continually rewind the scene.

Extras: Panorama have included next to nothing by way of extras for this DVD release, what we do get is a director's biography which runs for 4 text pages and is in either Chinese or English.

Also included are 2 pages of the director's filmography also in Chinese and English.

A small insert is included, a collectible handbill with in-depth production notes, the notes are all in Chinese so I'm not sure exactly what it says.

I suppose these paltry extras are a godsend considering it would be hard to revisit this film through it's supplements.
