The Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1 track is largely reserved except for moments in Peter Kam's score that opens up the front soundstage in a fine way. Dialogue is always intelligible. A Cantonese DTS 5.1 track as well as the Mandarin dub in Dolby Digital 5.1 is also included.

The English subtitles are free of errors and comprehensible. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also available.

Released as 2 disc set (and in a limited edition featuring a script book and movie stills), Mega Star decided to go against Edmond Pang's regular wishes to include English subtitles on the extra features. Too big of a company and too much hassle to please the market outside of their geographical range apparently. A shame because the first disc is loaded up with 3 audio commentaries. For your information, track 1 pairs up actor/co-producer Chapman To and actress Isabella Leong. Co-writer/co-producer/director Edmond Pang along with composer Peter Kam discuss on track 2 while director of photography Charlie Lam and co-writers Derek Tsang, Jimmy Wan and Kearen Pang occupy the last one.

Moving on to disc 2, where again no English translation is included aside from on the theatrical trailer. If you need permanent Chinese subtitles for the Making of (14 minutes, 10 seconds), it's your lucky day however. Many movie clips, cast & crew interviews and brief flashes of behind the scenes work doesn't seem to make this program particularly interesting.

Deleted scene (4 minutes, 47 seconds) is actually a reel consisting of 3 deleted clips. The first focuses on Ma's guilt of having accepted little to none responsibility before, the other is a restaurant scene between our leads (a widely spread still from the film is from this scene) and finally there's more of Ma up in the lighthouse, singing. Hard to judge the content obviously if you're in need of a translation but the first clip is affecting in its simplicity. Berlin Tour (4 minutes, 19 seconds) details the cast & crew's experience at the 2006 Berlin International Film Festival, in montage form. Red carpet treatment, the press conference and the celebration of composer Peter Kam's win gets covered. Nice to see the acknowledgements, Chapman To clearly enjoying himself and Isabella Leong is radiant when in the spotlight at these events.

Next is a Isabella Leong interview shot during production and lasting 13 minutes, 17 seconds. Hope it's good if you can understand it and the uncut nature of the session produces final moments where Leong can't hold back her tears. A Music Video for the track "O Gente da Minha Terra" performed by Portuguese singer Mariza is set to movie clips only but is atmospheric enough to merit a viewing.

The trailer and 2 TV spots follow, a Photo Gallery with 20 quality stills from the film, poster & promotion materials (10 stills promoting the film fairly well) and finally the section Cast And Filmmaker Profiles. Here written content in Chinese and English can be taken in, starting with an extensive plot outline in About The Film. At least it wasn't the blurb from the back dvd cover as per usual. About Macau provides the viewer with helpful history, past and present. John Chong also writes in the piece Executive Producer's Note briefly about the making of the film. Producer talk.

Edmond Pang gives us his requisite Director's Statement as well. As usual very mature and downbeat with his sentiments, he does share with us a promise about his future steps as a filmmaker that is assuring and welcome. Producer's Note contains Chapman To's views on the behind the scenes role. It's short, fluffy but very honest as To talks humbly about the finished product.

About The Cast presents biographies and filmographies for Chapman To, Isabella Leong, Meme Tian, J. J. Jia and Derek Tsang. Very brief career outlines and not much learnt summarizes this section. Most of them are new actors though. About The Crew shines the spotlight on Edmond Pang, co-writers Derek Tsang, Jimmy Wan and Kearen Pang, director of photography Charlie Lam, costume designer Stephanie Wong, art director Man Lim-Chung, composer Peter Kam and editor Wenders Li. Pang gets the most detailed history as expected and the remainder merely basic info. Good to acknowledge such a large part of the crew though. Finishing off what is really the most information the second disc seems to have is About The Songs, with sufficient information about standout songs from Isabella: "O Gente da Minha Terra" by Mariza and "Dream Mate" performed by Anita Mui. The latter being a personal favourite of Pang's.
