I saw it a while back.

Strong film, though for me The Blood Brothers has a slight edge.

Jet's acting continues to improve at a pace and Andy Lau is equally good.

Thanks Mark.

It's no loss for me. I was only interested in the (HK) BD anyway. I'd be surprised if Metrodome trump the HK DVD/BD.

UK BD and DVD News:

Unless the UK BD turns out to be much better I'll still pick up the HK BD. I bet the deleted scenes are from the recent HK Disc DVD SE, which are 40 minutes long.

Have got a review copy of this release and as far as I can remember the deleted scenes are about that length. Several of them are more extended scenes as opposed to deleted ones.

There are a few problems with the extras particularly the 117 days one. There is a lot of Chinese writing that comes up on screen that is not subtitled... that's a schoolboy error in my opinion.

What! Thanks

I presume Region Free and DTS-HD MA? How long are the other extras? I take it you're going to review it, for where?

As far as I'm aware the discs I've got are R2. Not done anything to check that but I don't see why they wouldn't be. Film on disc 1, Extras on disc 2.

As it is only the DVD version I've got not a HD version I don't think it has DTS-HD!! It has got DTS and DD 5.1 and stereo.

The other extras are of the order 25-40 mins in length. Can't remember exactly I'm afraid. Will be checking again when I get round to writing about them.

And yeah, I have the review discs cause I'm going to be reviewing it...

As for where - there should be an ever-so-subtle clue in my avatar and signature line.
