Kam & Ronson presents the film in an aspect ratio of 1.80:1, with anamorphic enhancement. At times featuring mild specks on the print, the desaturated and grainy design of the image seems to be represented well.

Audio options are Cantonese Dolby Digital EX Surround 5.1, Cantonese DTS 5.1 and Mandarin Dolby Digital EX Surround 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 seems to stumble excessively towards the end but are otherwise clear and coherent. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also available.

All extras reside on the second disc of the set and oddly enough Kam & Ronson have provided Chinese menus only. No subtitle options are made available either. Moving through the choices then that can't be truly judged by me so I'll settle for listing most of the content:

Interviews with co-writer and director Yau Nai-Hoi (9 minutes, 21 seconds), co-producer Johnnie To (7 minutes, 55 seconds), actor Simon Yam (7 minutes, 57 seconds), actress Kate Tsui (11 minutes, 22 seconds) and actor Lam Suet (6 minutes, 25 second). Brief behind the scenes footage, including that of To being active on the set is intercut during the Yau interview and Tsui is for whatever reason very emotional during her session.

The Making Of (6 minutes, 38 seconds) is your usual promo piece POSSIBLY containing worthwhile info for those who can understand it. In next section we find 4 featurettes (running 4m 38s, 3m 48s, 3m 56s and 3m 58s respectively) covering the various premieres close to home and at foreign film festivals. Brief interviews with cast & crew, outsiders such as Lau Ching-Wan, Patrick Tam, viewing audiences from around the world, Yau Nai-Hoi Q & A's and audience reactions post-screening are on display. The latter being nice moments for the sight of pride in Yau Nai-Hoi's face.

Running 10 minutes, 23 seconds, more premiere footage comes from the home grounds in Hong Kong where the producers of the program even name the celebs appearing. Another Making Of (14 minutes, 15 seconds) appear next and feeling no different in intent from the previous aside from Yau's interview session taking place in Italy during the Far East Film Festival in Udinese. The next 2 minutes and 38 seconds are dedicated to another brief behind the scenes program while 4 TV spots and the trailer follows. Rounding it all off is a Photo Gallery (15 movie stills) and a Poster Gallery (7 images).
