Audio:
I viewed this movie with the stereo Korean soundtrack and spot checked the 5.1 English audio track. Though the English track was a little more full, and the fight scenes had more impact, I preferred the original language track. Both tracks were clean without any distortion or hiss.
Video:
Though the case lists the video as being 4:3, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the movie is presented in widescreen and anamorphically enhanced. The image quality was about what you would expect from a recent film. The detail was fine and the picture clear. A nice looking movie.
Extras:
There are a good number of extras included on this DVD. They include a music video, the original Korean trailer, a three minute reel of production photos, and 2 ½ minute reel of outtakes. There is also Joong-pil's student files, which are text based files with a voice over by Joong-pil (in English) threatening the viewer for looking at his private records. It was pretty amusing. There is also a rather odd 21-minute reel of highlights from the movie. If you are going to sit through 21 minutes, why not watch the whole thing? |
