| Previously available on an Ocean Shores disc, Universe dvd-debuts Red To Kill in letterbox (1.85:1) and with optional subs. To the best of my knowledge, this edit is the same as on Ocean Shores dvd and probably represents the theatrical cut. There are noticeable audio jumps in the rape scene in the middle of the film but it's unclear what was removed, if anything. The transfer is generally clean, only a few moments feature heavier damage. Colours are good but there's a slight smeary nature to the transfer. Overall, Universe have produced some good looking dvd's of Category III which has pleased me as a fan.
The Cantonese 2.0 mono track, sync sound, sounds good for what it is. Dialogue is clear and Jonathan Wong's score comes off nicely as well. A Mandarin 2.0 dub is also available.
The English subtitles are pretty good with only few grammar and spelling errors. Don't know if they're cleaned up or a copy of the theatrical subtitles but nonetheless a good job, Universe!
Did you expect extensive behind the scenes footage, commentary, interviews and deleted scenes? If you did then this is a disappointing disc since there are no extras whatsoever. |
