| Mega Star presents the film in an aspect ratio of 2.32:1, with anamorphic enhancement. Crystal clear and damage free, there's nothing seemingly visible to complain about here.
Audio options are Cantonese Dolby Surround EX 5.1, Cantonese DTS ES 5.1 and Mandarin Dolby Digital 5.1 but as I'm not equipped with such a system, my assessment of this disc aspect will be left off this review.
The English subtitles read well and come with no distracting errors. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included.
Shame Panorama couldn't be involved in the production of this dvd because back at Media Asia and Mega Star, interest in creating substantial extras with English subtitles rarely rears its head. The weak package offers 2 trailers followed by a a 12 minute, 1 second Making of (that is also available in 7 shorter edits). Standard program but seeing the joyous interaction between the actors, footage of Nick Cheung performing his own fire stunt, rehearsals and shooting of the gunplay action is amusing enough to warrant one viewing.
Behind The Scene (6 minutes, 21 seconds) is more clearly viewable behind the scenes footage in comparison to the glimpses the Making of offers up but it's still as tightly edited as in the mentioned program. Basically the same highlights also. |
