| Mega Star presents the film in an aspect ratio of 2.32:1 approximately, with anamorphic enhancement. Crystal clear and damage free, there's nothing seemingly visible to complain about here.
Audio options are Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1, Cantonese DTS 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.
All the extras reside on the 2nd disc, none of which come with English subtitles aside from the trailer. The Making Of (6 minutes, 14 seconds) has the directing trio speaking a little in English when they're at some festival but the remainder of the program is of standard structure. The viewer get some insight into the shooting schedule as it's written out on screen how long each director shot for and Dog Bite Dog director Soi Cheang can be seen assisting Tsui Hark (Cheang's credit on the movie is Executive Director)
Behind The Scene reveals three sections, Tsui Hark (16 minutes, 8 seconds), Ringo Lam (23 minutes, 9 seconds) and Johnnie To (22 minutes, 21 seconds) and features raw footage from the set. We follow Tsui (and Soi Cheang assisting actively) during the monotonous methods of filmmaking as well as Ringo Lam and Johnnie To. A certain naked truth is evident in these programs but they're not stimulating experiences more than sporadically.
Deleted Scene goes on for 16 minutes, 38 seconds and aside from the extended opening with Gordon Lam and Kelly Lin, the various extensions don't translate well sans subtitles. A Mainland Chinese ending caps the reel. Remainder of the extras consists of the trailer and a TV spot. |
