2 Become 1 [HK Version]: Technical Notes

Mega Star presents the film in an aspect ratio of 1.78:1 approximately, with anamorphic enhancement. An expectedly sharp and suitably detailed print for a new film that is only let down by some print damage at points.

The Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1 track features clear dialogue and decent expansion of the fronts whenever music kicks in. Cantonese DTS 5.1 and Mandarin Dolby Digital 5.1 options are also available.

The English subtitles are largely error free and easy to follow. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included.

A minor extras section is offered up but true to form, Mega Star at best includes only permanent Chinese subtitles. Such is the case for the Making of (10 minutes). Maybe some worthwhile discussion occurs in the otherwise standard program formula but I wouldn't know. A Guide To Breast Healthcare (9 minutes, 22 seconds) is hosted by Lydia Shum and certainly intends to provide good information. Hope that's the case. Sandra Ng also appears, which is no coincidence since her character in Juliet In Love also had breast cancer.

Two music videos comes next, one for the awful "You'll Shine Again" and a Chinese language track I'm unable to identify. Has there ever been more than one or two performance MV's made in Hong Kong? Yes, these are set to movie clips only and are automatically dead boring because of it. Deleted scene (5 minutes, 22 seconds) contains 7 cut/extended clips that largely seem redundant. More of Bingo anxiety about her cancer arises some interest but it's nothing that isn't already understood within confines of the feature.

Out-takes (1 minute, 25 seconds) shows actors flubbing lines. Wowza. The trailer has our only glimpse at an English translation on an extra and further promotional materials appear in the form of 3 TV Spots. Finishing the special features is the Cast & Credits section, holding dual language cast & crew listing.

Picture: A typically strong print from Mega Star with bright, bold colours and solid black levels. No signs of colour bleeding or a poor transfer, just a crisp print throughout.

Sound: DTS/5.1 Cantonese or 5.1 Mandarin soundtracks with English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese subtitles (removable). A strong DTS track that blasts out the Cantopop tracks quite impressively. Low-key scenes have a few nuanced effects, but the surround set-up is only tested during the soundtrack.

Extras: A 'Making Of' short that lasts 8 or so minutes, 'A Guide To Breast Healthcare', two music videos, out-takes, cast & crew credits and a deleted scene.
